Overview

Mission

Youth club-community activities sponsored for the benefit of underpriveleged children.

What it reported doing in 2024

Camp mathieu and day camp - summer camp for inner-city children offering activities and retreats benefiting the health and welfare of underprivileged youths.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 94% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 97% 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 few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence.
