Overview

Mission

Neighborhood house is a not-for-profit organization with the mission of providing high quality day care services at a price that families can afford.

What it reported doing in 2015

To provide daycare & preschool programs to the general public, based on a sliding scale fee. Over 100 children were served throughout the year.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 88% 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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
