Overview

Mission

Educational

What it reported doing in 2024

GESTEM: Girls Exploring Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. Introducing 6th grade girls to careers in STEM fields through hands-on activities and interactions with STEM professionals. More than 900 girls participated.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 86% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 88% 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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
