Overview

Mission

Sbpli fosters exchanges between schools and businesses

What it reported doing in 2024

Sbpli organizes a grade school robotics program with approx 45 schools, for ages 6 - 9, and for ages 9 - 14. Last year approximately 125 teams participated.

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