Overview

Mission

Wil-mar neighborhood center is a community-directed, non-profit organization based in the williamson-marquette neighborhood concentrating on enhancing the quality of life by fostering community building and partnerships; supporting life enriching programs; providing opportunities and services.

What it reported doing in 2024

Wil-mar neighborhood center's youth programs include an after-school program for children aged 5-12, a summer youth recreation program, and students organized around responsibility (soar), a program for middle and high school youth that provides safe recreation and promotes personal and civic responsibility.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
