Overview

Mission

Educational programs for out-of-school-youth and adults.

What it reported doing in 2012

The Organization is a community-focused initiative working in partnership with various human resource organizations to assist out-of-school youth as well as unemployed or underemployed adults to help themselves complete educational and vocational goals.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% 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

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
