Overview

Mission

The Student Voice Foundation strives to help every student and educator believe in the power of his or her own voice to effect positive change. The Global Student Voice Film Festival is the Foundations first effort in pursuit of this goal. In addition to the primary goal of building student voice, it is also designed to help students build deeper empathy and explore new possibilities for their future.

What it reported doing in 2019

To encourage and amplify global student voice and agency.

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 - 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 and expenses are high relative to revenue.
