Overview

Mission

To prepare our students to thrive in college and become leaders in their pursuits after high school. This means getting accepted, going, staying, and graduating from college all with a broader understanding and deeper experiences.

What it reported doing in 2014

To provide facilities, institutions and other resources for nurturing and facilitating the growth and development of children and young people in academic, musical, personal and other ways.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 89% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
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

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
