Overview

Mission

The peer 2 peer university is a grassroots open education project, organizing learning outside of institutional walls, and giving learners recognition for their achievements. P2pu creates a model for lifelong learning, alongside traditional formal higher education.

What it reported doing in 2024

Grassroots open education project, leveraging the internet, using educational materials openly available online.

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 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 - 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.
