Empowered over 1,600 high school students through arts-based, social-emotional learning programs: The SuperYou FUNdation delivered large-scale, mindfulness- and music-infused empowerment workshops and an inspiring keynote by founder Lourds Lane as part of the Virginia Thespian Festival, guiding students to connect with their most authentic and confident selves. The program culminated in a professionally produced student performance at the Capital One Center in McLean, Virginia, celebrating creativity, collaboration, and self-expression. Post-event surveys showed that 94 percent of participants felt more confident and inspired to express themselvesfollowing the experience.
Operating model

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.
