Overview
Mission
The organization educates teachers and parents alike in dealing with and encouraging gifted and talented children. Both parents and teachers become familiar with programs that are available to develop a student's full potential.
What it reported doing in 2025
An annual fall conference keeps parents, teachers, and other interested individuals informed of new programs that are available for gifted and talented individuals. It also makes the group aware of problems encountered within the educational system and what can be done to ameliorate the problems.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
- 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
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
