Overview
Mission
Aims to improve the quality of neighbourhood life with a special focus on solving problems faced by young people and their families. An important principle of NSAP is the empowerment of residents through the development of community organizations so that they can act together to improve neighbourhood conditions, reduce anti-social behaviour by young people, protect them from inappropriate institutionalization, and provide them with positive models for personal development.
What it reported doing in 2009
Chicago area project grant provides organized after-school programs to youth of a designated neighborhood or community to positively engage them and reduce their involvement in risky behaviors. Over 70 youth were enrolled in programs last year.
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
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and the available information about grant readiness automatic revocation leaves an important question unanswered.
