Overview

Mission

The mission of the organization is to create a high quality

What it reported doing in 2015

Resiliency prep school is a public school that is funded and supported by public dollars. The school serves students who have been removed from the local high school for violent behavior or poor academic achievement. The organization provides support via wrap around services to this high risk population.

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

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
