Overview
Mission
To provide academically focused, highly motivated underprivileged students with the tools necessary to access and succeed in a four-year college.
What it reported doing in 2012
First year of 3-year cohort at cleveland high school in seattle, wa. 13 juniors enrolled in program consisting of weekly sessions including time management and an sat preparation course. We had 85% attendance for the year.
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
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of total spending goes to programs. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and the available information about grant readiness automatic revocation leaves an important question unanswered.
