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. 1948640 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 37 0 true 24 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 16 16 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 0 600 Sally Matsuishi Dir Nat'l Prgm 40.00 0.00 131250 0 8869 Lisette Ostrander Dir Edu Prgm 40.00 0.00 130849 0 6679 Alyssa Ching Dir Nat'l Prgm 40.00 0.00 131250 0 5894 Casey Mancl Dir Natl Fndraisng 40.00 0.00 131250 0 600 Alex Heckler Director 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 Rahul Chandhok Director 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 Ed Lehrman Treasurer 4.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Karen Kwetey Director 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 Wade Rakes Chairman 0.50 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Alex Rivera Secretary 0.50 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Linsey Morrison Vice President 0.50 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Nancy Howes Director 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 Marianna Coley Director 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jacqueline Neuwirth Director 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jen Traeger Director 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 Shane Coley Director 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 Ace Smith Director 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 Allison Cohen Director 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 Larry Krause Director 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 Sheila Azadan Director 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 699599 22642 5 false true false 0 742427 1004800 1036323 2783550 0 48845 48845 0 0 0 0 97643 742427 97643 0 0 0 Miscellaneous Revenue 900099 3973 3973 3973 2836368 3973 48845 X 0 0 0 0 175600 129451 25651 20498 0 1176263 869968 170042 136253 0 53859 38535 15324 108118 73417 21879 12822 0 31710 31710 142272 142272 0 170158 170158 0 623959 493277 100798 29884 8268 3483 4445 340 95283 35616 8386 51281 68120 23544 38073 6503 0 19418 19393 25 204180 138785 27505 37890 0 0 0 0 10898 10898 21963 12262 9701 Supplies 128556 104364 11152 13040 Other/Miscellaneous Expenses 3445 3445 Staff Development 3100 3100 Dues, Licenses & Fees 2157 1227 930 0 3047327 1948640 619088 479599 1619200 203323 0 99657 14899 0 0 0 0 0 17150 0 3289 3289 0 3056 1427321 0 0 10897 0 3000 11842 1752960 1657385 83380 198764 83380 198764 X 1294348 1458621 375232 1669580 1458621 1752960 1657385 -210959 X X false true X true false X 1525754 1772683 1873208 1599755 2783550 9554950 0 0 1525754 1772683 1873208 1599755 2783550 9554950 1975761 7579189 331 516 497 2182 48845 52371 0 0 9607321 0.78890 0.77760 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 3289 3289 X 3049064 115053 97643 212696 2836368 2836368 3260023 115053 97643 212696 3047327 3047327 Part X : FIN48 Footnote The Organization is a not-for-profit organization that is exempt from federal income tax on income under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and from state franchise tax under California Revenue and Taxation Code Section 23701 (d).
