Overview

Mission

To provide quality early care and education in a safe, nurturing, culturally-competent environment that helps develop the potential of all children.

What it reported doing in 2016

To improve the operational and financial performance, the Tabor Board of Trustees determined as of June 30, 2016 to close the two Tabor Children's House day care centers including Tabor Innovation Academy (TIA) day care, which was closed in April 2016, and the Doylestown day care, which was closed at the end of the school year in June 2016. As a result, Tabor is now focused on its core child welfare mission and no longer provides day care services, which have been classified and disclosed as discontinued operations with the consolidated statements of activities for the years ended June 30, 2017 and 2016. On July 7, 2017, the building was sold. year 2017.

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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
