Overview

Mission

To enhance, expand, and enrich the educational opportunities of the students of Moore Public Schools through private donations.

What it reported doing in 2021

Schools within the Moore Public School district in Oklahoma receive grants to assist teachers with educational materials, experiences, and programs for students. Additionally, MPSF raises funding for special district-wide safety and security projects.The impact from COVID caused some adjustments to operations. In-person meetings were moved to virtual meetings and the spring grant transitioned into a large grant for the district to print worksheets and materials for distance learning.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 88% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Hybrid. The nonprofit split its reported program spending across 50% for direct work, and 50% for grants.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
