We delivered prematch and continued education trainings to 848 adult volunteer mentors and 275 youth (mentees). The mentoring partnership continues to serve as western pa's only technical assistance provider for the national mentoring resource center through which we provided 391 hours of technical assistance to 16 mentoring programs.

Tmp actively works to raise awareness and support strong relationships that engage youth in their education, in workforce development and through community engagement.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 61% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 96% 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. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and expenses are high relative to revenue.
