Overview

Mission

To enable minorities and others in need to secure self sufficiency through education and life skills development programs. Collaborate to build individual self worth, productive families and an engaged community.

What it reported doing in 2016

The Metropolitan Tulsa Urban League is an interracial non-partisan community service organization which works to secure equal opportunities in all sectors of society for minorities and the disadvantaged. The education and youth empowerment programs provide tutoring, mentoring, and leadership development skills for students. Economic empowerment programs such as job skills training, homebuyer education, and financial literacy enable individuals to achieve economic self sufficiency. Programs such as Save our Babies and Healthy Start seek to reduce infant mortality and increase the health and quality of life of families in the community.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
Distribution model
Transfer-based 990-EZ. The 990-EZ reports grants or member benefits, but it does not separate enough spending to show the nonprofit’s full delivery mix.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and expenses are high relative to revenue.
