Overview

Mission

The organization's primary exempt purpose is to foster a women-centric mentorship program that teaches and prepares women for organizational leadership in public media and to bring public awareness to the critical need for diversity of leadership in the media industry.

What it reported doing in 2024

The organization's mentorship program facilitates mentor/mentee partnerships, connecting mentees in the early years of their career with mentors that are mid-level or c-level management across various disciplines in public media. The mentorship program has benefited around 200 women with direct one-to-one career and leadership mentoring and has a nearly 100% satisfaction rate for mentors and mentees.

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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
