Bright Minds launched the Access to Learning Fund to raise funds for critical remote learning resources. The Fund raised over $300,000 from 300 individuals, community groups, companies, and foundations. This enabled Bright Minds to provide 30,000 education resources to students and educators, including internet service, assistive technology for students with learning differences, essential school supplies, learning subscriptions, mailing of educational materials, and other resources. 18280 12924 Read With Me Program - As the local affiliate for Dolly Partons Imagination Library, Bright Minds delivers the early childhood literacy program Read With Me-Howard County to inspire a love of reading, encourage parent-child interaction, and prepare children for kindergarten. The program sends participating children an age-appropriate book each month from birth through age five. More than 1,000 Howard County children have received more than 18,000 books through the program thus far. 4167 2940 JumpStart Program - Bright Minds helps students develop skills, earn college credits, and explore career options by covering the costs of books and fees for income-eligible students participating in JumpStart, the dual-enrollment partnership between HCPSS and Howard Community College (HCC).

Over the past 3 years, Bright Minds provided $51,000 in scholarship support to 191 HCPSS students so they could take advantage of the program. 361751 true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 0 0 3 false false false false false false false false false false false X 16 16 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true false false true true false MD X Bright Minds Foundation 4103138992 10910 Clarksville Pike Ellicott City MD 21042 Elizabeth Crammond Executive Director Former 40.00 0.00 X 70000 0 0 Christie Lassen Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Ellen Flynn Giles Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Phillip Dodge Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Meg Moon Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Kim Young Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Susan Porter Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Dr Bevin Philip Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Julie Myers Director 6.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Mae Beale Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Lance Cook Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Dr Michael J Martirano Ex Officio 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Jennifer Van Kirk Secretary 0.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Susan Padgett Chair 12.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Lisa Terry Vice Chair 12.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Dr Clarissa Evans Immediate Past Chair 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Kim Sweatt Assistant Treasurer 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Leslie Barnett Treasurer 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 70000 0 0 0 false false false 199535 179998 379533 22 22 23337 8763 14574 14574 394129 0 0 14596 34601 34601 8000 8000 70000 42000 14000 14000 5016 3010 1003 1003 23296 13978 4659 4659 4242 1717 2525 2762 764 1831 167 6237 2525 3712 1916 1916 ACCESS TO LEARNING FUND 243534 243534 READ WITH ME PROGRAM 12924 12924 JUMPSTART PROGRAM 2940 2940 415468 361751 27651 26066 128601 30740 38451 104953 1000 168052 135693 15782 32082 47864 0 X 81525 71965 38663 63728 120188 135693 168052 135693 X -21339 36844 X true X false false X 260553 98853 204336 236762 379533 1180037 260553 98853 204336 236762 379533 1180037 41368 1138669 114 1069 221 113 22 1539 1181576 0.96370 0.99830 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED GOLF TOURNA 23337 23337 7763 STATE OF SCH 1000 23337 23337 8763 8763 14574 true HCPSS 10910 Clarksville Pike Ellicott City MD 21042 526000968 239596 NA NA Virt learning resources & teacher grants Dolly Partons Imagination Library 111 Dollywood Lane Pigeon Forge TN 37863 621348105 501c3 12924 NA NA READ WITH ME PROGRAM Pearl Foundation PO BOX 178 Columbia MD 21045 311591747 501c3 7000 NA NA ACCESS TO LEARNING PROGRAM A-Ok Mentorking PO Box 871 Columbia MD 21044 900527116 501c3 5000 NA NA ACCESS TO LEARNING PROGRAM The Kindness Pantry Po Box 198 Fulton MD 20759 844803806 501c3 5000 NA NA ACCESS TO LEARNING PROGRAM Tau Pi Foundation Fund PO Box 458 Columbia MD 21045 521685763 501c3 5000 NA NA ACCESS TO LEARNING PROGRAM PTA Maryland Congress of Parents & 9525 Kilimanjaro Rd Columbia MD 21045 521199221 501c3 5000 NA NA ACCESS TO LEARNING PROGRAM Scholarships 6 8000 NA NA Form 990 governing body review Part VI line 11 THE IRS FORM 990 IS PRESENTED TO THE OFFICERS FOR APPROVAL AND SIGNED BY THE BOARD CHAIR.
