Overview

Mission

To provide, promote, and protect access to sexual and reproductive health care and education for all people.

What it reported doing in 2024

SEX EDUCATION: Each year, we offer educational opportunities to young people, their teachers and families, as well as to populations such as youth in foster care and patients in residential treatment. We provide competent and inclusive sex and relationship education to middle school, high school, and college students, and we train parents, teachers, and youth-serving staff to be knowledgeable, supportive allies that can empower young people to make informed and responsible choices.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 71% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 99% 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.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
