Our Removing Barriers Pillar contains three programs: Backpacks for Kids, Basic Needs & Opportunity Funds, and McKinney Vento supplemental funding for the Northshore school district's homeless response. In 2023-2024 Removing Barriers supported a total of 1,130 families through all three programs with an additional 20 students whose school lunch debts were paid. We also helped the Northshore Family Engagement Center establish a summer meals program for food insecure families. Acting as the fiscal sponsor for a coalition of 10 local faith and community organizations and non-profits, we raised and distributed $10,000 worth of food to1,000 individual persons in over 300 families. 35836 0 0 Enhance & Inspire Learning-in 2023-2024 we had a rebuilding year. We moved from a three grant/year cycle to a Fall/Spring grant cycle. This allowed us to better serve our schools by lengthening the application period. We also implemented new grant guidelines, which have helped to clarify what does and does not qualify. This resulted in a lower number of grant applications but also made for a smoother review process for our volunteer reviewers as well as fewer unfunded applications. We approved 64 grants during this fiscal year supporting 29/34 schools in the Northshore School District. 2987 0 0 Build Skills for Life is our newest funding pillar and we are still defining the scope of what fits under building life skills for students in Pre-K-12th grades. During the 2023/24 school year we funded the Secondary Academy for Success's No Desks Allowed program for seniors as well as the SAS Rock Band. We also provided funding for the Keynote speaker for the Northshore Student Justice Conference. We will continue to identify programming whose support builds student skills they can use to success post High School graduation. 0 0 0 298635 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 12 0 1 21 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 14 14 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 WA X Cara Anderson-Ahrens 4254087680 3330 Monte Villa Parkway Bothell WA 98021 Cara Anderson-Ahrens Executive Director 40 0 X X 95000 0 0 Patsy Treece President 10 0 X X 0 0 0 Dyana Berger Vice President 5 0 X X 0 0 0 Tim Kalso Treasurer 5 0 X X 0 0 0 Jennifer Herrman Secretary 5 0 X X 0 0 0 Kate Dick Board Member 2 0 X 0 0 0 Alexis Krogh Board Member 2 0 X 0 0 0 Blair Mus Board Member 2 0 X 0 0 0 Charla Griffy-Brown Board Member 2 0 X 0 0 0 Dana Fialdini Board Member 2 0 X 0 0 0 Dave Greek Board Member 2 0 X 0 0 0 Jasmine Lee Fry Board Member 2 0 X 0 0 0 Kara Roth Board Member 2 0 X 0 0 0 Kate Horn Board Member 2 0 X 0 0 0 Spencer Lane Board Member 2 0 X 0 0 0 95000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 255501 0 0 194525 0 450026 0 48111 48111 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 255501 0 498137 48111 0 0 156197 156197 0 0 0 0 0 0 264993 102250 84310 78433 8180 8180 24166 8427 9285 6454 42276 17243 24033 1000 0 0 3337 197 2913 227 23663 290 22453 920 138 138 1878 1038 809 31 Staff and board Training 13431 12993 438 0 Merchant Fees 6094 0 6094 0 Events 8444 0 0 8444 552797 298635 158653 95509 0 539349 441544 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 358398 399796 0 0 0 0 897747 841340 1668 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 22410 22059 24078 22059 X 873669 819281 0 0 873669 819281 897747 841340 -54660 0 0 0 272 0 X 0 0 0 X 780059 1143632 1715437 748605 450026 4837759 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 780059 1143632 1715437 748605 450026 4837759 4837759 23649 108608 -71004 45891 48111 155255 0 0 0 0 0 0 1692 53821 -20971 8384 0 42926 5035940 0.96065 0.96523 X Schedule A, Part II, Line 10 We received other revenue from fiduciary fees, microsoft rewards, facebook and amazon smiles.
