Overview

Mission

Building a unified, vibrant and empowered community of Nigerians and Americans that: 1) promotes excellence in career and business; 2) expands horizons through education, mentorship and civic engagement; and 3) shares the richness of Nigerian and African arts and culture.

What it reported doing in 2025

Students that attend are provided with tips on the college admissions process and college readiness.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
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 most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
