What it reported doing in 2024
FLL: Great River School fielded 4 FIRST Lego League Challenge Teams. Mythical Robotics provided mentoring and competition support. One team advanced to the MN State Champion Tournament.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
- 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
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
