Overview

Mission

Provide educational and social guidance, and promote academic excellence for under-privileged children from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

What it reported doing in 2024

Prevention first - this program offers additional children, youth and family intervention services. These services include daily in-school support services such as tutoring, mentors, and counseling. After-school educational and recreational programs are offered to students to encourage academic and personal success.

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

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of voting board members are independent.
