We work to recruit and prepare families who are willing and able to provide a nurturing, supportive and affirming environment for children and youth, many who have experienced significant trauma, usually between the ages of 10-18 years old. We conduct home studies to ensure that the families we license are prepared to support the children and youth that will be in their care. This is also done through training and classes that include knowledge with diverse (cultural, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and handicapped individuals) families. The ultimate goal of foster care is high quality temporary care while the children's family get the help that is needed for the children to be back under their care. 518607 704961 UMOJA MN: EVOLVE provides a variety of in-person and virtual engagement, with specialized programing for varying age groups created to connect Black youth with their culture and community, while empowering and educating adoptive, foster, and kinship families. EVOLVE provides two Black Heritage camps in the Twin Cities Metro Area, that empowers and educates Black fostered, kinship and adopted youth and their families with the Black community and culture in Minnesota. In addition to the camps, we have programs that helps these connections throughout the year. Black Teens in Action gives youth the opportunity to connect with other fostered and adopted Black teens and design a service project that they implement with the Black Community in Minnesota. EVOLVE has a Cultural Responsive Parenting Class that is aimed at caregivers who foster or have adopted black children. This helps them gain knowledge about the nuances of Black culture, racism, hypersexuality and hypermasculinity today. There are also other peer and support groups for caregivers and youth throughout the year. 242617 0 194030 Adoption Services: EVOLVE's adoption programs provide services to diverse populations through comprehensive training and counseling to ensure that families are fully equipped to meet the needs of a child and achieve permanency. Our services include domestic adoption, international adoption and adoption through foster care with our Minnesota Adoption Permanency Program (MAPP). MAPP is aimed at older children and teens whose parental rights have been terminated and under state guardianship. 264131 0 750445 Youth Services: EVOLVE youth services programs include; child-specific recruitment (CSR), social-medical histories (SMH), and successful transition into adulthood (STAY). Through SMH, EVOLVE completes interviews with foster providers and birth families, as well as requests health, school and any informative needed records to ultimately write and provide a comprehensive health and birth history for youth who have been in the foster care system. CSR helps children that are needing permanency be part of the process in finding families that will fit and work with their unique authentic self. STAY helps foster and former foster youth find success as they transition out of state care and into self-care. We do this by comprising individual plans through one-on-one meetings or group meetings. These youth are also able to be part of a Youth Council that helps youth aging out of foster care like themselves. EVOLVE provides services to youth between the ages of 14 - 22, who are currently or were formally in foster care. The goal of this service is to assist youth in successfully transitioning to adulthood. 264131 0 750445 1967062 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 26 0 1 35 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 8 8 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 MN WI X The Organization 6514392446 5850 Omaha Avenue North Stillwater MN 55082 Susannah Barnes Executive Director 40 0 X 102519 0 7700 Torion Amie Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Betsy Williams Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Amy Sainsbury Board Member 1.0 0 X 0 0 0 Jill Kuykendall Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Tori Hensley Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Saolia Tucker Board Member 1 0.00 X 0 0 0 Elisabeth Zarnoti Board Chair 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Colleen Madison Board Vice Chair 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Catherine McComb Board Treasurer 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Lindsey Niswanger Board Secretary 1 0 X X 0 0 0 102519 0 7700 1 0 0 0 Hope Ogunbamiyo 8633 Edinbrook Crossing Apt 356 Brooklyn Park MN 55443 Accounting Services 116208 1 8334 0 10649 0 0 263320 0 282303 Foster Care and Related 624110 821625 821625 0 0 Education and Events 624100 704961 704961 0 0 Adoption and Related 624110 194030 194030 0 0 Family Support and Related 624110 750445 750445 0 0 0 0 0 0 2471061 10354 0 0 10354 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 10649 7306 -7306 0 -7306 573 0 0 573 573 2756985 2471061 0 3621 110219 80460 11022 18737 995522 814094 115896 65532 82360 71174 7013 4173 85956 67757 11853 6346 150 150 34316 34316 0 50870 40463 5513 4894 2943 124 2010 809 202892 183839 14089 4964 50071 41578 2816 5677 87946 72416 12466 3064 25173 24870 212 91 41153 41153 29744 22567 4917 2260 28114 18403 8050 1661 Clients Fees and Related 494019 493758 232 29 Professional Development 26620 25356 1264 0 Bad Debt 9220 0 9220 0 Dues and Subscriptions 8054 5742 1312 1000 4664 4461 203 2370006 1967062 283707 119237 219510 278638 180887 756 30000 211795 500816 30691 14972 1080399 543025 547975 537374 164261 1355119 1362556 284881 240449 68772 19700 400649 300000 185389 0 939691 560149 X 415428 802407 0 0 415428 802407 1355119 1362556 386979 0 0 0 0 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 280375 631333 732322 319436 282303 2245769 280375 631333 732322 319436 282303 2245769 616352 1629417 73 10 1215 10354 11652 23119 8200 6288 0 573 38180 2295601 12239817 0.70980 0.68797 X Schedule A, Part II, Line 10 Other Income RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 47148 47148 0 987585 530857 456728 0 0 0 0 0 36868 12168 24700 0 8798 0 8798 537374 0 0 X 2773644 0 16659 0 0 16659 2756985 0 0 0 2756985 2386665 16659 0 0 0 16659 2370006 0 0 0 2370006 Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 The Organization's activities are generally exempt from federal and state income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Since the Organization is exempt from federal and state income tax liability, no provision is made for current or deferred income tax expense. The Organization is not a private foundation. Management has determined that the Organization is not subject to unrelated business income tax. Management is not aware of any transactions that would impact the Organization's tax-exempt status. The Organization follows the guidance of the Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) 740, Accounting for Income Taxes, related to uncertainties in income taxes, which prescribes a threshold of more likely than not for recognition and derecognition of positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For the years ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, management of the Organization is not aware of any material uncertain tax positions. All tax-exempt entities are subject to review and audit by federal, state and other applicable agencies. Such agencies may review the taxability of unrelated business income, or the qualification of the tax-exempt entity under the Internal Revenue Code and applicable state statutes. For federal tax purposes, the tax returns remain open for possible examination for a period of three years after the respective filing deadlines of those returns. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b After the Form 990 has been prepared, the finance committee reviews the document for accuracy. Afterwards, the board treasurer presents the Form 990 at the general board meeting. At the meeting, the board will vote on whether to accept the Form 990. When approved, the Executive Director will sign the document. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c EVOLVE does have a conflict of interest policy. If conflicts were to arise, the issue would be put on the board meeting agenda for discussion and decision. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15 The board chair conducts annual appraisals on the Executive Director and reviews salary benchmarks available from the Minnesota Council of Nonprofits in determining the Executive Director salary. Once completed, the board votes to approve the salary. All other positions at EVOLVE are approved by the Executive Director by reviewing the Minnesota Council of Nonprofit benchmark data, evaluating the talent pool that applies to positions, assessing internal pay equity, determining the financial impact, and reviewing postings for comparable positions at service providers providing similar services. Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19 EVOLVE makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy and audited financial statements available to the public upon request.
