What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?

Mentor Chippewa

Mentor Chippewa is a local non-profit, founded right here in Chippewa Falls, 35-years ago!

What began as a grassroots effort led by a group of six people from a local community church who, in the fall of 1988, decided to reach out to their neighbor, the Chippewa Falls Middle School, and offer to “help wherever needed,” has since grown and evolved into the program that we are today!

We work closely with local school systems to bring our school-based mentoring programs to their students and offer the opportunity for adults to connect with youth in a safe setting.

We value all kids, right where they are, while recognizing that school can be tough, and mentors can help tough days go better! Everyone can benefit from having a caring adult in their lives to help them realize that when days go better, years go better.

Have an interest in helping kids realize their full potential and become empowered members of our community? Then we invite you to join us here at Mentor Chippewa!

Balance sheet

Fiscal Year: Jan 01 - Dec 31

SOURCE: IRS Form 990 info

The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
