Overview

Mission

Our goal is to help the dallas community's youth excel and reach their highest potential through community programs.

What it reported doing in 2014

The social development division provides year round life skills enhancement and programming to youth each year. Youth ages 5-17 are provided with life skills enhancement training, tutoring in reading, math, and science, as well as computer and financial literacy.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% 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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
