Governance

This organization files the short tax form, which does not ask about boards, policies or audits. That is normal for a small charity and is not a mark against it.

Programs described in its return (1)
  1. $72,716 spent. The Oasis Project provides free, professional tutoring for children in need within 3 school district partnerships. In the 2024-2025 school year, 36 experienced educators volunteered to provide approximately1,500 hours to serve more than 100 students. Ancillary volunteers and board members gave additionally more than 1,000 hours to provide coordination of the volunteers, to raise funds to sustain the program, to bring awareness to the community about the need being fulfilled, and to provide other administration services needed to run the organization well. The Oasis Project is committed to measuring its impact in 3 ways: 1) measuring the academic growth of students as districts share their data, 2) surveying students, parents, staff, and administration to ensure not only academic focus, but also relationship building, which has proven to be vital for the student's success, and 3) obtaining feedback from tutors, staff, and administration to ensure program continuity, cohesiveness, and collaboration which is vital for the program's success. In the 2024-25 school year, Oasis partnered with 11 schools in 3 districts, serving Kindergarten through 8th graders in Kettle Moraine and North Lake as well as Kindergarten through 4th graders in Oconomowoc schools. Administrators recommended students to benefit from tutors' specifically matched experience. Teachers welcome students' opportunities to receive intensive, individual learning time with another caring professional. Parents recognize both academic and social emotional benefits. Students unanimously report increased confidence in the classroom. During the 2024-25 school year, Oasis was at full capacity to meet the requested amount of tutoring services, with growth expected to continue. Meeting the increased need within current partnerships drives the program's immediate goals, with goals to continue expanding our service to additional schools and districts as rapidly as we are able to sustain the work.
