Overview
Mission
Simply slavic's mission is to educate both the large number of local slavic descendants and the greater youngstown community at-large about slavic heritage.
What it reported doing in 2024
Simply slavic provides scholarships for second year or above undergraduates, graduate students, or doctoral candidates attending youngstown state university. We offer two scholarships per year of 1,000 each. Recipients are selected based on their academic achievements, volunteerism in the community, and their response to a 500-word essay on the prompt "how has the slavic culture influenced your life, in the past, present, and how will it into the future?" the scholarship winners are honored at our annual volunteer banquet.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 61% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 92% 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. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
