Overview
Mission
The Oasis Project provides free tutoring to under-resourced children within the Kettle Moraine, North Lake, and Oconomowoc Area school districts.
What it reported doing in 2024
The Oasis Project provides free, professional tutoring for children in need within 3 school district partnerships. In the 2024-2025 school year, 36 experienced educators volunteered to provide approximately1,500 hours to serve more than 100 students. Ancillary volunteers and board members gave additionally more than 1,000 hours to provide coordination of the volunteers, to raise funds to sustain the program, to bring awareness to the community about the need being fulfilled, and to provide other administration services needed to run the organization well. The Oasis Project is committed to measuring its impact in 3 ways: 1) measuring the academic growth of students as districts share their data, 2) surveying students, parents, staff, and administration to ensure not only academic focus, but also relationship building, which has proven to be vital for the student's success, and 3) obtaining feedback from tutors, staff, and administration to ensure program continuity, cohesiveness, and collaboration which is vital for the program's success. In the 2024-25 school year, Oasis partnered with 11 schools in 3 districts, serving Kindergarten through 8th graders in Kettle Moraine and North Lake as well as Kindergarten through 4th graders in Oconomowoc schools. Administrators recommended students to benefit from tutors' specifically matched experience. Teachers welcome students' opportunities to receive intensive, individual learning time with another caring professional. Parents recognize both academic and social emotional benefits. Students unanimously report increased confidence in the classroom. During the 2024-25 school year, Oasis was at full capacity to meet the requested amount of tutoring services, with growth expected to continue. Meeting the increased need within current partnerships drives the program's immediate goals, with goals to continue expanding our service to additional schools and districts as rapidly as we are able to sustain the work.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 90% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- 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. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and expenses are high relative to revenue.
