Overview
Mission
To inspire, educate, and empower Grundy County youth and their families through character building, innovative thinking, community service and entrepreneurship through mentoring, coaching, and teaching foundational life skills.
What it reported doing in 2025
Youth Programming - After School Program/Summer Day Camp: To provide a safe environment and support for youth through mentoring, coaching and teaching foundational life skills including 233 programming hours, 51 hours of literacy intervention and 100 community service hours.
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 - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
