Overview
Mission
Supporting families through their learning journey
What it reported doing in 2024
We are a small and flexible learning environment, centering the lives, communities, gifts, and our stories of Black and Brown children and families. We curate learning experiences that invite and affirm community-oriented and self-directed learning. We put emotional intelligence first, and we allow the whole child to joyfully be and arise as their self.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 85% 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 - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Some filed totals do not add up and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
