Overview

Mission

PPIA recruits approximately 150 rising undergraduate seniors each year from traditionally underserved communities for the Junior Summer Institute Fellowships (JSI). JSI Provides a rigorous 7-week academic boot camp to build out their professional and academic skill set, preparing them for success in graduate school. In addition, PPIA engages in broader outreach by hosting two annual expositions, one in-person, one virtual, to connect students and recent graduates with graduate admissions experts and employers in the public and non-profit sectors to expand the pipeline into public service careers.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 77% 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 reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
