Overview
Mission
To increase the number of culturally responsible black engineers who excel academically, succeed professionally, and positively impact the community.
What it reported doing in 2025
Diversifying, enriching, and strengthening the stem pipeline from youth to college to career in the portland metro area. We provide access to a wide range of programs and resources, including scholarships, internship opportunities, annual youth infrastructure fair and community-based initiatives like our little free library program. There are also networking mixers, professional development workshops and community engagement activities that strengthen our diverse network of engineers and stem professionals.
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
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of total spending goes to programs. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
