We bring relentless optimism, innovation, and imagination to the biggest problem facing education today: the opportunity gap. false false 7789140 2325654 Driven by our mission to make imagination a part of everyday learning, Big Thought is an impact education nonprofit dedicated to closing the opportunity gap for youth in Dallas and beyond. Founded in 1987 by Dallas civic leaders Edith O'Donnell and Mitch Jericho as an affiliate of Young Audiences, the organization began innovating education from its inception by bringing arts and cultural performances into classrooms at a time when the arts had been marginalized or even eliminated from public school curricula. The organization soon grew to serve children, educators and families in more ways than its founders ever imagined. In 2004, the name Big Thought was adopted to reflect the broadened scope and vision. Throughout our 30+ year history of innovation, Big Thought has become a national model in arts education, out of school time systems, summer learning and juvenile justice intervention. Now we're one of 6 community partnerships in the U.S. helping scale national best practices in social and emotional learning. At our core, we empower youth to: 1. build their creative muscle,2. develop social and emotional skills and well being and3. create their authentic voice. Big Thought implements three approaches to deliver this work: 1. Direct to youth programs. We develop and deliver high quality curriculum and programs to serve communities with the greatest need. Big Thought programs reached over 13,900 students for more than 750,000 learning hours in fiscal year 2019.2. Learning Systems. We do this by strategically connecting partners and resources across the city to create learning systems that address these themes. Big Thought Learning Systems reached over 139,000 students for more than 3.25 million learning hours in fiscal year 2019.3. Big Thought Institute. We obsess over research, development and design, ensuring that we are evaluating and enhancing our work year after year.

Income generated from activities unrelated to the Organizations exempt purposes is subject to tax under IRC Section 511. The Organization had no unrelated business income for the year ended June 30, 2019. Effective January 1, 2018, the Organization began incurring unrelated business income tax on the value of qualified parking provided to its employees. Accordingly, a provision has been made for federal income tax for the year ended June 30, 2019.GAAP requires the evaluation of tax positions taken in the course of preparing the Organizations tax returns and recognition of a tax liability (or asset) if the Organization has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the Internal Revenue Service. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Organization, and has concluded that as of June 30, 2019, there are no uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability (or asset) or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements. false TX NY BIG NIGHT 735915 641775 94140 12500 44402 33378 159536 Works of Heart 31740 28815 2925 5758 350 2032 767655 670590 97065 12500 50160 33728 161568 257956 -160891 X X X false false false false false false false false false false BYRON K SANDERS President & CEO 215228 7623 222851 GLENN BALDWIN CFO 161474 9147 170621 JESSICA MALEK CHIEF STRATEGY OFFICER 175150 9147 184297 X 10000 FMV X BACKPACKS 1 28620 FMV X TOYS 1 1500 FMV X AUCTION ITEMS 2 1120 FMV false false false Form 990, Part VI, Line 1a: Explanation of Delegated Broad Authority to Committee The delegation of authority to the Executive Board of Directors shall not operate to relieve the Board of Directors, or any individual director, of any responsibility imposed by law or for responsibility for any action approved by the Board of Directors.
