Mission

Through out the year we host field trips such as Mad Science Museums Parks and organized activities all of this at an affordable prices so any family can be part of the group activities and we meet as a group every Friday morning for classes where parents volunteer their time to teach a different subject per school year and per grade. Membership cost is minimal and it is per family regardless family size and we use the money to supplement for any activities payment we have to make and to buy school and PE supplies.

Field Trips- we manage numerous field trips for the organization over the course of the calendar year. At times we subsidize members entrance fees to events when we can.
Operating model

- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.

- 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
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
