Overview
Mission
Education
What it reported doing in 2025
After school program: High quality after school programming for low income and at-risk students in Cleveland every day that school is in session. Activities include chess, arts, math club, science club, drama, robotics, fiber arts, and academic tutoring. 187 students served.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 100% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- Distribution model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filed totals do not add up and expenses are high relative to revenue.
