Overview

Mission

Ensure optimal development for all children by building a comprehensive support system that links family, school, and community.

What it reported doing in 2025

The Organization implements a community schools strategy in partnership with school districts and community-based organizations, with a strategic focus on strengthening families to support children's optimal development.The community schools model supports academic instruction with coordinated services that reduce barriers to learning and build family capacity, including school-based Family Resource Centers (FRCs), early childhood and literacy-based school readiness programs, parent education, family support and family engagement, and information and referral services. These services are designed to strengthen school-family partnerships and improve outcomes for children and families.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
