As we continued to suffer through the pandemic I Believe In Me continued to partner with local businesses and community organizations to provide critical grocery needs clothing household items hygiene products diapers toys and various other items to members within the Frederick community. The need was first identified after the creation of our Hope Boxes; these boxes consisted of food and drinks for our youth while they were forced into virtual instruction. Mentees began to vocalize the need for siblings and other family in need; as well as community members expressing the growing need often due to the loss of income resulting from pandemic shutdowns. Our efforts widened overtime as we were supported by local businesses government agencies private foundations and community donors; as well as the increase of resources as we partnered alongside other local non-profit organizations.We expanded our outreach to bi-weekly food distributions providing over 3.5 million meals to those in need within Frederick County no questions asked. Toward the end of our 2020 fiscal year we began to scale back on the frequency of distributions but continue to deal hope on a consistent basis based on major holidays and current needs. 83211 0 0 I Believe In Me's core mission is to aim to inspire and challenge youth through mental physical and social activities that fosters self respect and respect for the world around them. Our fundamental program continues to focus on youth development and empowerment through mentorship; igniting and activating youth toward positive and productive futures. Youth range from 6-16 years old coming from underprivileged disadvantaged and or at risk youth from marginalized communities within Frederick County; however we continue to have an open door to any and all youth in need of resources or guidance and believe in themselves. I Believe In Me provides our youth with a safe space and structured environment to attend after school. Lead by mentors who once lived through the consequences of their mistakes youth gain access to educational support nutrition financial literacy one on one mentoring physical activity and various resources to keep them from the people and places that will make their lives unmanageable. Participation in the program continued to grow in FY 2020. As we continue to search for a permanent home for our program we have over 40 youth on a waitlist seeking services. 273658 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 1 0 true 3 true false false false false false false false false X 9 9 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true false false true true false MD X Ryan Miller 7177982717 1726 Castle Rock Road Frederick MD 21701 Aje Hill Executive Director 50.00 0.00 X 60902 0 0 60902 0 0 0 false false false 97630 0 0 0 47500 253274 12000 398404 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 6420 0 2459 3961 0 3961 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 402365 0 0 3961 X 60902 48722 9135 3045 0 0 0 0 12889 10889 1311 689 0 0 0 0 4864 3917 702 245 3850 3110 545 195 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 15500 0 0 15500 0 0 0 0 2062 0 2062 0 7214 3607 2886 721 0 0 0 0 2200 2200 0 0 14733 13183 775 775 0 0 0 0 217 217 0 0 11 0 11 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Payoff of credit card used to fund organization in prior years 16490 16490 0 0 Charitable Contributions 190 190 0 0 COVID 19 response costs of food, transportation, and supplies 157548 157548 0 0 Mentor Program activity fees, meals for students, program supplies, 5370 5370 0 0 13456 12000 1456 0 317496 277443 18883 21170 62969 140166 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 37000 14600 30450 22400 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 93419 162566 15722 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 15722 0 X 71697 162566 6000 0 77697 162566 93419 162566 84869 0 0 0 0 0 X false false false X 0 0 17438 199531 346404 563373 0 0 17438 199531 346404 563373 106030 457343 563373 0 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 37000 0 14600 22400 0 0 0 0 22400 Part III, Line 4d | Description:, Expense Amount:, Grants Amount:, Revenue Amount:| Part VI, Section B, Line 11b The Board Treasurer shared the full 990 with the board via a virtual board meeting.
