INFORMED BY LPTM'S 25 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE IN HUMAN DEVELOPMENT AND CO-LED BY LPTM GRADUATES, THE HIGHLY INTERACTIVE WORKSHOPS PROVIDE A SAFE, NON-JUDGMENTAL ENVIRONMENT FOR PEOPLE OF ALL BACKGROUNDS AND IDENTITIES TO EXPLORE THE IMPLICATIONS OF RACE, GENDER, SEXUAL ORIENTATION, CULTURAL BACKGROUND AND IDENTITY IN HOW WE SEE OURSELVES, EACH OTHER, AND THE WORLD. AT THE END OF THE WORKSHOP, PARTICIPANTS COLLABORATE TO CREATE ARTWORK IN THE LIFE PIECES ART STYLE, COMMUNICATING AN ACTION THEY WILL TAKE TO INSPIRE POSITIVE CHANGE AND A VISION OF SHARED HUMANITY IN THEIR OWN LIVES AND THE WORLD. COLOR ME COMMUNITY HAS DEVELOPED FROM A PROGRAM INTO A LIFE PIECES ENTERPRISE WHOSE CLIENTS INCLUDE THE U.S. STATE DEPARTMENT, NATIONAL AND LOCAL NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS, AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT AGENCIES. ART BY LIFE PIECES - "CREATING ART . . . CHANGING LIVES" - LIFE PIECES TO MASTERPIECES TAKES ITS NAME FROM THE UNIQUE STYLE OF ART THAT OUR APPRENTICES COLLECTIVELY CREATE. YOUTH COLLABORATE TO DECIDE ON A LIFE EXPERIENCE TO MAKE THE TOPIC OF THEIR PAINTING AND THEN MAKE THEIR MASTERPIECE TOGETHER BY PAINTING, CUTTING, ARRANGING, AND SEWING PIECES OF CANVAS. EACH COLORFUL, SEWN, ACRYLIC-ON-CANVAS COLLAGE ILLUSTRATES A SHARED STORY AND REFLECTS OUR YOUNG ARTISTS' COURAGE TO CREATE THEIR OWN DESTINY - TO TURN THEIR LIFE PIECES INTO MASTERPIECES. LPTM APPRENTICES HAVE CREATED OVER 2,000 ARTISTIC MASTERPIECES, AND THEIR ARTWORK HAS BEEN DISPLAYED IN SUCH VENUES AS CHILDREN'S NATIONAL MEDICAL CENTER, THE WORLD BANK, NBC'S TODAY SHOW, CHICAGO MUSEUM OF SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY, THE DC MAYOR'S OFFICE, AND PRIVATE FOUNDATIONS THROUGHOUT THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA. ART BY LIFE PIECES CREATES A SOURCE OF EARNED REVENUE BY MAKING MANY OF THESE MASTERPIECES AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE, RENTAL, AND DISPLAY. PARENT ENGAGEMENT - LPTM SUPPORTS PARENT ENGAGEMENT VIA "FAMILY NIGHTS AND PARENT "COLOR ME COMMUNITY CIRCLES", A SERIES OF WORKSHOPS (OFFERED ONLINE DURING THE CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC) TO EXPOSE PARENTS TO LPTM'S PHILOSOPHICAL FRAMEWORK. THE WORKSHOPS HELP PARENTS COMPREHEND AND APPLY THE CORE PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICES WITHIN THEIR OWN LIVES AND HOMES TO ENGAGE WITH THEIR CHILDREN'S LEARNING, SELF-EXPRESSION AND EMOTIONAL NEEDS. THE WORKSHOPS ALSO HELP PARENTS BUILD A SENSE OF BELONGING WITH THOSE WHO EXPERIENCE AND NAVIGATE SIMILAR CHALLENGES SUCH AS DEALING WITH COVID-19 AND RACIAL INEQUITY. AFTER 4 COHORTS OF PARENTS COMPLETE 8 HOURS OF LPTM'S HUMAN DEVELOPMENT SYSTEM TRAINING IN 2022, WE WILL HOST A GRADUATION AND WILL IDENTIFY THOSE PARENTS WHO WISH TO BECOME FACILITATORS OF LPTM PARENT CMC CIRCLES. THESE PARENTS WILL BE GUIDED THROUGH CMC "TRAIN THE TRAINERS" WITH THE HOPE THAT, AS WE HAVE WITH OUR LPTM APPRENTICES, WE WILL BUILD AN LPTM PARENT CULTURE OF "EACH ONE, TEACH ONE." 178645 16434 1192827 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 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 30 0 1 25 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 11 11 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 X THE ORGANIZATION 2023997703 5600 EADS ST NE WASHINGTON DC 20019 RAYMOND COVINGTON PRESIDENT 1.00 X X 0 0 0 DAMON WHITE TREASURER 1.00 X X 0 0 0 MARY BROWN EXECUTIVE DIRECOTR 40.00 X X 116667 0 17065 SHAWN HARDNETT DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 LAMELL MCMORRIS DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 PHYLLIS MENTZELL RYDER SECRETARY 1.00 X X 0 0 0 HOWARD J ROSENSTOCK VICE PRESIDENT 1.00 X X 0 0 0 LAKENDRA MCNAIR DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 SUSIE STEVENS DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 JOSEPHONE BIAS ROBINSON DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 DYLAN TALLY DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 LISA DARR FELDNER DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 116667 0 17065 1 0 0 0 YOUR PART TIME CONTROLLER LLC 1500 WALNUT SUITE 1200 PHILADELPHIA PA 19102 ACCOUNTING 112625 1 334025 1487080 1821105 ART SALES 900099 10594 10594 WORKSHOPS 900099 5840 5840 16434 275 275 900099 136 136 136 1837950 16570 0 275 X 133731 50818 26746 56167 668007 568780 5192 94035 46421 41737 2199 2485 80547 62907 3024 14616 4725 4725 127091 22546 98856 5689 324125 224837 16673 82615 122 104 18 24410 16210 3775 4425 18697 18558 139 15657 15657 7803 7803 2611 2611 11076 9230 812 1034 14779 12926 1519 334 PROGRAM COSTS/MEALS 114805 114805 SUPPLIES 16964 16964 MAINTENANCE & REPAIRS 8276 6158 2033 85 DUES & MEMBERSHIPS 6145 120 5825 200 9361 2667 3769 2925 1635353 1192827 177898 264628 511782 484428 2000 6938 55569 177380 1017 986 8563 11901 83163 70124 14235 13039 593166 694672 21536 32052 12147 7114 168197 46000 38923 54546 240803 139712 X -77504 265538 429867 289422 352363 554960 593166 694672 202597 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 1003448 644884 1378263 1131513 1821105 5979213 36000 36000 54000 36000 36000 198000 1039448 680884 1432263 1167513 1857105 6177213 1717410 4459803 426 275 701 6177914 144836 0.72190 0.73050 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 83163 70124 13039 13039 ACCRUED VACATION 54546 54546 X 1873950 36000 36000 1837950 0 1837950 1671353 36000 36000 1635353 0 1635353 PART X, LINE 2: LPTM IS EXEMPT FROM THE PAYMENT OF INCOME TAXES ON ITS EXEMPT ACTIVITIES UNDER SECTION 501(C)(3) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE AND HAS BEEN CLASSIFIED BY THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE AS A PUBLICALLY SUPPORTED CHARITY WITHIN THE MEANING OF SECTION 509(A)(2) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE.
