Overview

Mission

Providing children and families with quality recreation and enrichment activities that foster growth and development.

What it reported doing in 2024

The menomonee club is dedicated to providing children, adults, and families from diverse backgrounds with quality recreation and enrichment activities in an inclusive community that fosters personal growth and skill development.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 66% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Assets have declined or grown slowly and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
