The LF Model

Step 1: Learning Forward partners with hospitals and patient care groups to offer our services to families and patients. After being contacted, we work with families to assess how much tutoring their child might need, and then set aside a proportional amount of money for our expected tutor.

Step 2: As one of Learning Forward tutor’s works with the child, we place our tutor’s ‘earnings’ into a CD. After that, we turn out attention towards other matters while we wait for the tutor to graduate from an accredited four year university

Step 3: When our tutor graduates from college, we gather the funds from the CDs we invest in, and get them ready to pay for our tutors’ student loans. Learning Forward keeps all of the interest collected on the tutor’s money, which we use to pay for organizational costs.

The LF Model allows Learning Forward to achieve 100% Donor Efficiency

Each donation Learning Forward receives is invested in FDIC-insured vehicles yielding an annual return of 4.00-5.00%. All of our investments are backed by the Federal Government, safeguarding donor funds from loss or theft. The LF model covers salaries, overhead expenses, and other fees, ensuring that every contribution directly supports our exceptional tutors, while the interest generated sustains Learning Forward's efforts in helping communities.
