ReachingU
ReachingU is a foundation that co-creates and financially supports programs aimed at improving the education of the most vulnerable children and adolescents in Uruguay.
We promote and provide funding for quality and high-impact educational programs in private and public institutions of our country.
We believe that every child has the right to learn, so we fund programs that focus on the student and the quality of their learning.
All the programs that we fund aim directly at the main challenges faced by Uruguayan education.

Balance sheetFiscal Year: Jan 01 - Dec 31
SOURCE: IRS Form 990
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.
