What The Laredo Diploma Plus Foundation Inc does
Mission
To support and expand educational opportunities to low income residents of Webb County especially at-risk high school seniors in an effort to prevent school dropouts; and to provide charitable support to organizations and individuals in order to enhance their quality of life especially in Laredo, Texas.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
The Diploma Plus Program is a dropout prevention program that identifies and awards stipends to eligible students who are at risk of not finishing high school. This fiscal year there were 147 recipients. High school counselors from local public schools report the students' grades and attendance on a quarterly basis. The monitoring and follow-up of the students' progress is checked carefully and only eligible seniors are awarded the stipends. Success is measured by the number of program students graduating from high school with a diploma. Success rate exceeds 97.5% with no more than one dropout student per group/year.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2022 to 2023, from $310k to $356k (+15%).
