Overview
Mission
The New York videogame critics circle provides college scholarships and paid internships to underserved and homeless students, primarily in the bronx. Each group of 10 to 15 students takes 10 to 12 week journalism classes after school and the best students are awarded scholarship and paid internships at nygamecritics.com, our website.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
- 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 available resources goes toward mission work. A relatively small share of total spending goes to programs and expenses are high relative to revenue.
