Overview

Mission

The specific purpose of the organization is to provide career training and educational study abroad.

What it reported doing in 2024

Overseas Study Travel & Culture Exchange Programs. In 2024 we established partnerships with educational organizations in the city to host a student group from the USA in May 2025. The program in 2024 was entirely funded through fundraising efforts.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 93% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
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

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
