Overview

Mission

New Jersey Safe Net provides a safe and stable haven for at-risk youth that is nurturing and focuses on their growth and success. We tutor and mentor children who are served by the Department of Protection & Permanency.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 100% 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

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of voting board members are independent.
