Once again, in 2020, we engaged the faith sphere. We launched our Made to Belong Trauma Curriculum for Faith leaders and 497 leaders, parents, and volunteers gained understanding and practical application. We were excited that throughout these spheres 505 volunteers donated 2027 hours to make a difference with our I Belong Project, Dream Makers Project, fund raising events, faith sphere events, and through administrative assistance.One of America's Kids Belong signature programs is the I Belong Project. With the help of the creative community, the I Belong Project is telling stories. Actually, through the I Belong Project, kids in foster care are telling their own story. By giving these kids and sibling groups a face and a voice, we give them a better chance--a 9x better chance--of being seen, receiving an inquiry and being adopted. In 2020 with safety measures implemented in response to COVID, we had 28 days of filming with 183 kids legally free for adoption. Over the year 1,702 inquiries were made through the AKB website and we celebrated that 122 kids were placed in pre-adoptive homes.Another signature program is Dream Makers Project, which provides support for youth that are aging out or have already emancipated from the foster care system. This year emancipated youth in 26 different states (up 44%) were impacted through our Dream Makers Project. Through the investment of their time and their finances, individuals, churches, and businesses helped to fulfill 270 Dreams (up 27% from 2019). 422 total youth were served with at least 20 receiving next-level impact through internships or career training. 1323198 true true false false false false false false false false true 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 true false false false false false false false false true 31 0 true 36 false false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 5 0 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false X Laurie Zauche 7203108898 1540 Main Street 331 Windsor CO 80550 Brian M Mavis President 40.00 0.00 X X 89664 0 0 Todd Kinzle CEO 40.00 0.00 X X 38077 0 0 Joe Ritchie Secretary 0.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Tim Shirk Chairman 0.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Deborah Shropshire Director 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 127741 0 false false false 0 2440294 81591 2440294 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2440294 X 0 0 0 0 127741 90426 28568 8747 0 1051901 744627 235242 72032 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 211099 126731 62133 22235 33388 25237 85 8066 91321 33418 52369 5534 0 0 0 80966 38866 39884 2216 0 0 0 0 0 0 Direct program costs 224475 220369 4106 Dues & subscriptions 35830 16805 18946 79 Merchant fees 19913 351 19562 Volunteer & staff related 12009 8592 3417 18329 17776 276 277 1906972 1323198 460482 123292 706300 1391354 0 0 3651 44681 0 0 0 0 0 41201 36601 4600 4600 0 0 0 0 1104 3156 715655 1443791 85638 123252 157200 85638 280452 X 550979 898185 79038 265154 630017 1163339 715655 1443791 533322 X false true X false false X 410283 954681 1062924 2021485 2440294 6889667 0 0 0 0 410283 954681 1062924 2021485 2440294 6889667 11102 195000 206102 0 11102 195000 206102 6683565 151 1015 1166 0 151 1015 1166 0 0 410283 954681 1063075 2022500 2440294 6890833 0.96990 0.99740 0.00020 0.00020 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 4600 4600 36601 36601 4600 PPP loan payable 157200 157200 Services/exp 67 81591 market false false false Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b: Form 990 Review Process The return is reviewed by all the board members.
