Overview

Mission

A non profit organization dedicated to social impact by creating job opportunities for tech workers through upskilling programs, employer- candidate connections, and technical meetups.

What it reported doing in 2025

212,000.00 donation from individuals 253,093.71 fundraising events 1.64 investment income

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 revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
