Mission

Educational Program teaching Creative Problem Solving and Teamwork

What it reported doing in 2024

An Ohio organization that organizes tournaments for approximately 4,000 students in grades K-12 to teach creative problem-solving. We have four supporting regions within Ohio each conducting regional tournaments with their winners proceeding to the statewide tournament.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 90% of the money available for current operations came from other operating 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 reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
