Overview
Mission
The overall purpose of the north suburban youth foundation is to bring out the best in children by providing scholarships based on community service and academic achievement by high school seniors and by supporting youth- serving nonprofit organizations.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Investment-supported. 66% of the money available for current operations came from recurring investment income.
- Distribution model
- Grant intermediary. The nonprofit sent 83% of its reported program spending out as grants.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and the available information about grant readiness automatic revocation leaves an important question unanswered.
