Overview

Mission

Support of a youth competition robotics program

What it reported doing in 2019

The students in the program had numerous successes last year, including 2 tournament championships, Virginia State Championship qualification and was awarded the design award at the VEX State Robotics finals.

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. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and expenses are high relative to revenue.
