Since 2010, Lili has been the inspiration and guiding light for the organizations accomplishments and growth. Her life sparked a national movement that has now touched the lives of millions of children.Beyond Differences is the nations leading expert on social isolation among middle school youth and our mission is the driving force behind our student-led social justice movement. Since its founding in 2010, more than 10,000 schools across the country have used Beyond Differences programs, impacting more than 4.5 million students in all 50 states.Our three areas of work include our social-emotional learning (SEL) curriculum for our three Positive Prevention Initiatives (No One Eats Alone, Know Your Classmates, and Be Kind Online), professional development for educators, and our national teen board (youth leadership). The Beyond Differences model is predicated on the notion that students influencing other students is not only an effective means of changing school culture, but also a natural and profoundly life-changing opportunity for youth to take control of this issue that causes so many children to feel so helpless. Our national high school teen board models that connection and belonging have a powerful ripple effect and inspire middle school youth to believe in it, too. 1611229 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false true true false false false false false false true true false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 30 0 true 18 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 17 17 true false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true false false false CA X X X Laura Talmus 4152569095 PO Box 9070 San Rafael CA 94912 X Laura Talmus Executive Director 40.00 0.00 175000 0 20900 Sally Matsuishi Dir Nat'l Prgm 40.00 0.00 135000 0 7951 Lisette Ostrander Dir Edu Prgm 40.00 0.00 135000 0 6311 Alyssa Ching Dir Nat'l Prgm 40.00 0.00 124583 0 5098 Laurel Druke Dir Finance 40.00 0.00 120000 0 5370 Casey Mancl Dir Natl Fndraisng 40.00 0.00 108958 0 475 Alex Heckler Director 0.48 0.00 X 0 0 0 Rahul Chandhok Director 0.48 0.00 X 0 0 0 Carolyn Hambleton Director 0.48 0.00 X 0 0 0 Kerri Catalano Vice Chair 0.48 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Ed Lehrman Secretary 0.48 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Karen Kwetey Director 0.48 0.00 X 0 0 0 Wade Rakes Chairman 0.48 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Gale Mondry Director 0.48 0.00 X 0 0 0 Michaela Simpson Director 0.48 0.00 X 0 0 0 Alan Loving Director 0.48 0.00 X 0 0 0 Carly O'Connor Kawaja Director 0.48 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jacqueline Neuwirth Past-Chair 0.48 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jen Traeger Treasurer 0.48 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Evie Talmus Director 0.48 0.00 X 0 0 0 Ace Smith Director 0.48 0.00 X 0 0 0 Marla Wiacek Director 0.48 0.00 X 0 0 0 Larry Krause Director 0.48 0.00 X 0 0 0 Sheila Peluso Director 0.48 0.00 X 0 0 0 798541 46105 6 false true false 0 670692 50247 1035285 1756224 0 2182 2182 0 0 0 0 79909 670692 79909 0 0 0 Miscellaneous Revenue 900099 4467 4467 4467 1762873 4467 2182 X 0 0 0 0 195900 144416 28617 22867 0 1001764 786791 53680 161293 0 46458 32803 10642 3013 98673 64954 19166 14553 0 8045 8045 58226 14413 43813 0 123829 123829 0 426003 301576 94688 29739 4457 1169 3173 115 113688 62268 11860 39560 66616 18263 41815 6538 0 15852 15852 0 0 96759 45274 30619 20866 0 0 10898 10898 13235 306 12929 Supplies 153084 128491 7556 17037 Staff Development 16574 2156 14349 69 Dues, Licenses & Fees 13405 5302 1173 6930 Other/Miscellaneous Expenses 3047 3047 0 2466513 1611229 393023 462261 1857200 1619200 0 609633 99657 0 0 0 0 0 4367 17150 3289 3289 0 1394 3056 0 0 21795 10897 3000 2494389 1752960 121169 83380 121169 83380 X 1461772 1294348 911448 375232 2373220 1669580 2494389 1752960 -703640 X X false true X true false X 1228767 1525754 1772683 1873208 1599755 8000167 0 0 1228767 1525754 1772683 1873208 1599755 8000167 1775980 6224187 343 331 516 497 2182 3869 0 0 8004036 0.77760 0.77240 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 3289 3289 X 1997638 154856 79909 234765 1762873 1762873 2701008 154856 -270 79909 234495 2466513 2466513 Part X : FIN48 Footnote TheOrganizationisanot-for-profitorganizationthatisexemptfromfederalincometaxonincomeunderSection501(c)(3)oftheInternalRevenueCodeandfromstatefranchisetaxunderCaliforniaRevenueandTaxationCodeSection23701(d).However,incomefromactivitiesnotdirectlyrelatedtoitstax-exemptpurposeissubjecttotaxationasunrelatedbusinessincome.TherewasnotaxonunrelatedbusinessincomeforyearendedJune30,2023.TheOrganizationhasevaluateditscurrenttaxpositionsandhasconcludedthatasofJune30,2023,theOrganizationdoesnothaveanysignificanttaxpositionsforwhichaprovisionwouldbenecessary.
