Overview
Mission
The mission of Mentor Discover Inspire is "to cause greatness by mentoring men to live with excellence and as mature masculine leaders, create successful families, careers and communities."
What it reported doing in 2024
Besides the scheduled, reservation-based, tuition-connected trainings and workshops, referenced in 4a, 4b, and 4c, Mentor Discover Inspire has regular monthly and quarterly in-person and/or on-line meetings involving it's membership and/or leadership in their Chapters/Divisions and Regions. These meetings reinforce the lessons taught in the trainings and help leadership prepare future meetings and events for the benefit of the membership and the guests from the community. These regular meetings and workshops provide mentoring for members and guests to cause greatness in creating successful families, careers and communities. Expenses to support these meetings include site rentals, on-line technology, promotional literature and communications, storage of items, various materials, occasionally food and, less-often, travel reimbursement. These events may sometimes collect fees to defray the cost of room rental and food as many of our meetings and community service projects and events are after work, or all-day weekends and stretch over mealtimes.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Membership-supported. 75% of the money available for current operations came from membership dues.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
