Overview

Mission

STEM Education for students

What it reported doing in 2025

In 2025, we served 31 students with individual STEM tutoring. Students were enrolled from 6 to 12th grade. Each student had a personal tutor, with whom they met virtually on a weekly basis, during the spring or fall semester.

Operating model

Revenue model: Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model: Direct operator. The filing allocates 92% 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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
