Overview

Mission

TeenNow California is dedicated to promoting the health and well-being of expectant and parenting teenagers and their young children, and to the prevention of adolescent childbearing. Our goal is to raise public awareness of the policies and programs in California that provide services to adolescents.

What it reported doing in 2012

In 2012 we expanded our services to include more webinars and virtual discussion groups. We also held four conferences; two in Sacramento, one in Fresno and one in San Diego. We received funding from the Office of Womens Health for one of the conferences, and partnered with community foundations to put on the other three. We held funding sessions to teach members and others about sustainability, working with foundations, and collaborating within the community. We educated over 500 people over the course of the year.

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
Transfer-based 990-EZ. The 990-EZ reports grants or member benefits, but it does not separate enough spending to show the nonprofit’s full delivery mix.

The verdict

REVIEW - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and expenses are high relative to revenue.
