Overview

Mission

The primary exempt function of this organization is to provide access for children to attend private schools, who would otherwise be unable to afford it.

What it reported doing in 2010

Money was spent for building improvements for a private school which is attended by recipients of scholarship pgograms administered in accordance with federal regulations for needy children who are unable to attend private schools without scholarships. These scholarship recipients include children with special needs and financial needs. The school is also attended by children who are not scholarship recipients.

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
Grant intermediary. The nonprofit sent 100% of its reported program spending out as grants.

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 total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
