Overview

Mission

The Advisory Board drives the efforts of the local leadership consortium.

What it reported doing in 2024

Rice Youth Program - This week-long program is held on the campus of Rice University and engages students from Houston area kigh schools.

Included in the week-long session are information and presentations on: writing workshops, SAT/ACT prep, speakers from various industries, financial aid, scholarship and the College Admissions process, leadership skills and much more.

Operating model

Revenue model
Membership-supported. 76% of the money available for current operations came from membership dues.
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. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
