Overview

Mission

Purpose of politisit is to eliminate financial barriers that prevent parents and caretakers of minors from actively engaging in civic activities. The organization focuses on empowering families to participate in community meetings, civic events, legislative discourse, and voting, ensuring that institutions and government entities effectively serve the needs of the community.

What it reported doing in 2024

Civic engagement childcare reimbursement - we reimburse the cost of childcare while parents are civically engaged by working directly with families and with partner organizations who set up childcare on site at meetings and events. In fy 25, we served over 75 families and reimbursed 346 hours of childcare.

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

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 revenue has declined or grown slowly.
