Overview

Mission

After-school programs are financially out of reach for many lewiston, me families. Rosati leadership academy breaks down that barrier by providing a safe, free, after-school, youth-development program that is available to at-risk and youth of all backgrounds in our healing community. We cultivate a diverse, inclusive environment defined by sustainable, trusting relationships, positive and rick social-emotional opportunities and expectations, a futsal model (futsal is a fast-paced version of soccer that is played on hard surfaces, rather than grass) and a mindfulness-cirriculum.

What it reported doing in 2025

Providing safe, free, every-day, diverse, youth development environments with cultures defined by sustainable, trusting relationships, rick social-emotional opportuities, a futsal model, and a mindful cirriculum.

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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
