Overview

Mission

To establish ongoing relationships between the pastors, staff and volunteers of the local christian church with the administrators, teachers, and families of local schools that create a healthy synergy that benefits both the churches and the schools.

What it reported doing in 2024

Shine developed family engagement opportunities by providing much needed support to students & their families through APS Title I programs in which we built curriculum and began the process of providing these seminars. SHINE conducted six seminars of Getting Ahead between spring & fall semesters in 2023. Getting Ahead seminars engage Title I families to identify and develop financial opportunities and literacy. Staying Ahead seminars engage Getting Ahead graduates over the two years following their graduation to keep them moving towards their financial goals.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 63% 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

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
