Overview

Mission

RSVP Volunteers creates and runs unique community programs powered by skilled volunteers to advance education and wellness for all ages and strengthens nonprofits through capacity building and volunteer services.

What it reported doing in 2025

RSVPs MY Free Tutor Program provides virtual, one-on-one math tutoring and STEM career awareness to students with academic needs. Trained volunteer math coaches are matched with the same student for an entire semester, offering consistent academic support and mentorship. A diagnostic math program is used at the start of tutoring to identify specific fundamental concepts the student needs to strengthen, allowing for a targeted, individualized approach. Students receive one hour of tutoring per week, with a focus on building math confidence and core skills. The program serves students from 3rd grade through college, as well as veterans returning to school. STEM career presentations introduce students to a wide range of potential career paths. In 2025, 94% of participants improved their understanding of subject matter and 82% improved math grades.

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

STRONG - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
