Overview
Mission
Tiny Raindrops provide free and low-cost after-school tutoring programs for K-12 students. The services include math, art, music, writing, chess, and foreign languages.
What it reported doing in 2024
The highlight of 2024 is that we graduated our first piano student from Suzuki Book 1. She started her study with us since 2022. We are so proud of her and invited her to a community reach event at Aegis Living. She played the last piece in Suzuki Book 1 for 50~100 seniors, and received many compliments and positive comments.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 100% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- Distribution model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.
The verdict
REVIEW - 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.
