OUR GOAL IS SIMPLE; TO PARTNER WITH SCHOOL DISTRICTS AND THEIR COMMUNITIES TO FORM A LOCAL CHAPTER THAT EMPOWERS SCHOOL DISTRICT STAFF TO IMMEDIATELY IDENTIFY AND MEET THEIR STUDENTS' BASIC NEEDS. CARE TO LEARN HAS OPERATED SINCE 2008 AND, SINCE THAT TIME HAS PROVIDED MET STUDENTS HEALTH, HUNGER, AND HYGIENE NEEDS OVER 3,750,000 TIMES. CARE TO LEARN HAS FILLED OVER 552,169 NEEDS IN THE LAST FISCAL YEAR. A NEED IS EACH TIME ONE CHILD IS GIVEN ONE ITEM/ITEMS TO MEET AN EMERGENT HEALTH, HUNGER, OR HYGIENE NEED. SINCE CARE TO LEARN'S FOUNDING, WE HAVE FILLED OVER 3,800,000 STUDENT NEEDS. CARE TO LEARN STARTED WITH ONE CHAPTER IN SPRINGFIELD PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN 2008 AND AS OF JUNE 30, 2024, HAD 45 SCHOOL DISTRICT CHAPTERS. CARE TO LEARN USES A CONSISTENT PARTNERSHIP MODEL TO ENSURE WE CAN CONSISTENTLY MEET STUDENT NEEDS. CARE TO LEARN WORKS WITH THE CHAPTER TO IDENTIFY THE UNMET NEEDS OF UNDER RESOURCED STUDENTS. THEN CARE TO LEARN WORKS WITH THE CHAPTER AND COMMUNITY TO DEVELOP FUNDING FOR THE BASIC HEALTH, HUNGER, AND HYGIENE NEEDS IDENTIFIED. CHAPTERS THEN FILL THE NEEDS AND CARE TO LEARN MANAGES THE PAYMENTS AND FUNDS. ONE OF OUR CORE VALUES IS NO RED TAPE. WE DO NOT ASK THAT STUDENTS MEET ANY QUALIFICATIONS. IF A STUDENT NEEDS HELP AND A SCHOOL OFFICIAL AGREES THERE IS A NEED, IT IS MET. EACH CHAPTER IS UNIQUE BASED ON THE SCHOOL DISTRICT'S AND THE COMMUNITY'S NEEDS AND RESOURCES. HOWEVER, AT LEAST 37 OF OUR 45 CHAPTERS HAVE BACKPACK PROGRAMS OR FOOD PANTRIES WITHIN THE SCHOOL THAT CARE TO LEARN FUNDS. EACH CHAPTER ALSO WORKS TO FILL HYGIENE NEEDS WITH DEODORANT, TOOTHBRUSHES, TOOTHPASTE, LICE KITS, ETC. HEALTH ISSUES TYPICALLY INCLUDE FUNDING FOR PRESCRIPTION MEDICINE, EYEGLASSES, DENTAL/ORTHODONTIC NEEDS, AND DOCTOR VISITS. 2969414 true true false false false false false false true false true false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false true 11 0 true 7 true false false false false false true true false false false false false false X 20 20 false false false false false false false true true false true true true true true true true true true true false X X JHASMINE WATSON 4178627771 1047 S GLENSTONE AVE STE R SPRINGFIELD MO 65804 BRIAN TODD Treasurer/Secretary 2.5 0.0 X X 0 0 0 DEBBIE SHANTZ HART President 2.5 0.0 X X 0 0 0 Dr TOM PRATER Vice President 2.5 0.0 X X 0 0 0 ALEXIS CHILDS DIRECTOR 1.5 0.0 X 0 0 0 CHANCE WISTROM DIRECTOR 1.5 0.0 X 0 0 0 DEREK DAY DIRECTOR 1.5 0.0 X 0 0 0 DOUG PITT DIRECTOR 1.5 0.0 X 0 0 0 Dr Greg Ledger Director 1.5 0.0 X 0 0 0 DWAYNE FULK DIRECTOR 1.5 0.0 X 0 0 0 JAMI PEEBLES DIRECTOR 1.5 0.0 X 0 0 0 JANN HOLLAND DIRECTOR 1.5 0.0 X 0 0 0 JASON JOHNSON DIRECTOR 1.5 0.0 X 0 0 0 JEFF TYNES DIRECTOR 1.5 0.0 X 0 0 0 JEFFREY GANN Director 1.5 0.0 X 0 0 0 JESSICA HARMISON OLSON DIRECTOR 1.5 0.0 X 0 0 0 LACIE CLARK Director 1.5 0.0 X 0 0 0 MARK WALKER DIRECTOR 1.5 0.0 X 0 0 0 MARSHALL KINNE DIRECTOR 1.5 0.0 X 0 0 0 Monte McNew Director 1.5 0.0 X 0 0 0 SARAH HOUGH DIRECTOR 1.5 0.0 X 0 0 0 KRYSTAL SIMON CEO 45.0 0.0 X 172553 0 4202 172553 0 4202 1 false true false 0 484124 2625000 1426510 82308 4535634 MISCELLANEOUS REVENUE 900099 4571 4571 0 0 0 0 4571 333563 333563 0 0 2696 -2696 0 -2696 -2696 117084 484124 229743 -112659 -112659 0 0 0 0 0 4758413 4571 0 218208 2422356 2422356 176755 44188 50376 82191 314205 266278 21755 26172 6664 5858 385 421 13441 8544 1959 2938 36784 23383 5360 8041 528 528 14818 14818 72708 72708 0 0 0 0 110105 65649 44456 56287 41792 14495 15522 5812 3899 5811 367667 91917 183833 91917 4052 4052 33174 27562 5449 163 15289 3815 10162 1312 SPECIAL EVENT EXPENSES 115303 115303 LICENSES, DUES, SUBSCRIPTION 11175 11175 0 0 0 0 3786833 2969414 424199 393220 1633997 593540 13200 50000 0 0 0 0 546 13597 0 0 0 0 5623888 7671387 0 0 0 7271631 8328524 625171 267071 115985 294166 0 0 0 0 741156 561237 X 2689530 3926342 3840945 3840945 6530475 7767287 7271631 8328524 971580 265232 0 X true X false true false X 1448214 1211309 1472176 4391601 4497820 13021120 0 0 1448214 1211309 1472176 4391601 4497820 13021120 0 13021120 107594 67227 76711 197051 333563 782146 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 13803266 25660 0.9433 0.945 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 1353339 211904 15942 1549301 1251504 115896 14061 1353339 1416143 -150472 14167 1251504 1116902 312418 13177 1416143 1152540 -22961 12677 1116902 0.0 1.0 0.0 true false POOLED INVESTMENTS AT CFO 7671387 F 7671387 Schedule D, Part V, Line 4 Intended uses of endowment funds TO EVENTUALLY COVER OVERHEAD AND ONGOING OPERATING COSTS SO DONATIONS DO NOT HAVE TO BE RAISED SEPARATELY TO COVER ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS.
