Overview

Mission

The Michigan AfterSchool Association supports out-of-school time professionals with education, inspiration, and fun.

What it reported doing in 2024

Our conference is where we host the afterschool field and provide them with professional development where they get a chance to network with their peers and learn innovative ways of working with kids in the out of school time field. It is usually a day long event where they attend work sessions and can network and hear a keynote speaker that specifically talks about why afterschool programs are important and why they are needed. They receive credits for attending and are usually given credits for attending that can be used to support their knowledge in the field. The conference attendees are usually directors of programs, principals in buildings where they might have afterschool program and community organizations that have similar programs. We usually have 300-350 people in attendance.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 84% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
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 - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
