Overview
Mission
Portsmouth united is organized for the purpose of promoting united efforts to secure the highest advantages in education, extra-curricular and enrichment activities for all children in the public schools in the town of portsmouth, Rhode Island.
What it reported doing in 2024
The melville parent teach group (mptg) is comprised of parent and teacher volunteers who provide the necessary support, financial or otherwise, for the enrichment of the children's education and to establish the lines of communication between the school's teachers, administrators and parents. The organization serves approximately 330 students and their families. Major fundraising events include the fall festival, fun run, whale of an evening, and a scholastic book fair. Those fundraisers double as community-building events along with others such as our back-to-school beach night, holiday craft night, and the charity polo match. The money raised throughout the year is used for afterschool enrichment opportunities, steam activities/presentations, school improvements, classroom supplies, teacher and staff appreciation, field trips, and school-wide end-of-the-year activities, to name a few.during fy25, the mptg had approximately 75 volunteers contribute over 570 hours of time to the school community.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Other-operating. 61% of the money available for current operations came from other operating 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.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
