Overview
Mission
To develop leaders and propel them into roles that strengthen our communities and our democracy.
What it reported doing in 2025
Leadership Workshops: One-day workshop for engaged community-members who want to play a bigger role in their community but aren't sure what's next, or how to get more involved. Participants learn about opportunities for public service at the local, county, and state level and how they relate to advancing their communities.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
- 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
STRONG - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
