Overview

Mission

Empower communities to work toward the goal that all Americans, regardless of age, race or class and gender are competent and confident in their math ability and have sufficient skill

What it reported doing in 2025

1. Moving & Learning Classrooms Project Cycle #2: The goal of this version of the M&LC project was to supply educators across the country with scholarship monies to acquire movement-based learning materials(books & floor mats) after attending a 1- or 2-day intensive professional development workshop on kinesthetic mathematics in Ithaca, NY. The majority of efforts were focused on connecting with research institutions, relationship-building and designing studies with the goal of publishing findings for outreach/awareness purposes.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
