Overview
Mission
Rajim supports the educational, financial, and/or mentorship needs of students in school, and when applying for a college education, as well as those students facing needs while in college, with an aim to foster individuals who in turn can help those requiring such help after they themselves start their own careers.

Operating model

- Donor-supported. 92% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Grant intermediary. The nonprofit sent 68% of its reported program spending out as grants.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
