Overview
Mission
SidexSide exists to build a bridge between overlooked talent and local employers.
What it reported doing in 2024
Participants in the career training and placement service program spend nine-weeks receiving intensive power skills training from ten plus local and national curriculum partners. During this time, each participant is embedded in one of our local partners for a curated "earn & learn" dynamic, allowing them to put elevated skills to real world practice while the employer can assess these skills and the possibility of a long-term fit. 2024 outcomes from this program include: 69 people served with a ratio of 31% black/african american, 10% hispanic/latino, 4% native american, 44% caucasian/white, 1% asian, and 10% mixed race. 89% of participants received state benefits upon entry, 89% struggled to pay monthly bills upon entry, 86% had difficulty paying rent upon entry, and 58% reported food insecurity upon entry. The program ended with an 85% graduation rate with 81 community referrals into the program, 355 education certificates earned, and a 92% career placement rate out of the program.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Grant-funded. 70% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 80% 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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
