Overview
Mission
The organization's mission is two-fold: 1) to investigate scientific factors in educational methods that promote or interfere with children developing to their fullest potential; and 2) to inform professionals, the media, the education community, and the public at large about gender differences in child and adolescent development.
What it reported doing in 2024
Dr. Sax led workshops at various schools and colleges concerning k-12 education, and child and adolescent development.
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
- 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
MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
