Overview

Mission

The organizations mission is to foster a nurturing, stable, and culturally diverse environment that empowers individuals affected by violence, promotes justice, and builds community.

What it reported doing in 2024

The Early Childhood Education program, which includes Florida Volunteer Kindergarten Education and preschool programs, is designed to improve the well-being of children in underserved communities through low-cost after-school and summer programs that support their physical, social, and emotional development.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
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.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

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.
