Overview
Mission
The organization was formed to operate a nonprofit school and is currently in the pre-operational phase. During the year, activities included development of curriculum, establishment of governance policies, recruitment of board members and leadership, and initial fundraising efforts. The organization also began outreach to the community and prospective families in preparation for opening.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
- 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 revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work.
