MMP serves more than 275 programs statewide supporting over 33,000 youth in quality relationships by assessing programmatic needs and organizational capacity to provide customized strategies that strengthen youth, families, and communities. 0 0 632632 483488 MMP works to drive increased resources to the mentoring field from the public and private sectors by raising awareness of mentoring as a youth development strategy that can help address social problems such as educational attainment and college readiness, workforce readiness, youth violence, and breaking the school to prison pipeline. MMP provides training for mentoring program staff on guiding principles of state level advocacy and mobilizes program partners in advocacy campaigns that increase state level funding that directly impact mentoring resources. In collaboration with our network of youth mentoring programs, we successfully maintained funding for the Mentoring Matching Grants program in the Massachusetts state budget at $500,000 during a critical juncture in the budget process when several other programs related to youth services were cut. A key component of this effort to secure funding for mentoring programs was our annual Youth Mentoring Day at the State House where over 250 supporters attended and over 60 constituent visits with legislators and youth were held. The primary goal of this line item is to increase the number of high-quality mentoring matches through grants to public and private agencies as one approach to close the persistent achievement gap among Massachusetts youth, particularly among students of color. Mass Mentoring Partnership administers the state mentoring matching grants subsidy agreement on behalf of the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education. MMP conducts a competitive RFP process among the state's mentoring programs. Resources are also driven to the field through a partnerships formed with sport teams, cultural institutions, museums, and other family-friendly recreational venues, leading to the donation of tickets and entrance document that are then provided by MMP to the mentor-mentee matches at mentoring programs throughout Massachusetts. In regard to Mass Mentoring Partnership's policy advocacy, the organization has worked to increase visibility around other policy efforts that will systemically impact the availability of developmental relationships for young people in school. The current efforts focused on graduation coaches as a remedy for high dropout rates among teens across the state. Graduation coaches are professionals with youth development and academic support expertise providing the target population with graduation plans including academic, career, and postsecondary goals. These mentoring relationships have positive impacts on two early indicators of high school drop-out: high levels of absenteeism and recurring behavior problems in school. With outreach to legislators, partnering with organizations and key stakeholders, Mass Mentoring successfully garnered support and raised awareness for this important policy initiative. 622732 384127 The Highland Street AmeriCorps Ambassadors of Mentoring program places service members at mentoring programs and youth-serving organizations statewide to strengthen and improve programs, allowing them to serve more youth and ultimately contributing to a more effective mentoring field. The AmeriCorps Ambassadors of Mentoring program enables MMP to place 25 AmeriCorps members in 22 sites to build their human capital and resources to support and develop organizational capacity, resilience, and directly contributing to improved outcomes for the youth served. The 2016-2017 members served almost 40,000 hours at 24 sites across Massachusetts. More than 1,000 volunteer mentors were recruited, screened, and matched through the direct efforts of the AmeriCorps Ambassadors of Mentoring. Through their volunteer service at these mentoring programs, over 3,500 youth were the direct beneficiaries of the Ambassadors of Mentoring. This year, MMP was able to have both full and part time members. 469410 MMP works to drive increased resources to the mentoring field from the public and private sectors by raising awareness of mentoring as a youth development strategy that can help address social problems such as educational attainment and college readiness, workforce readiness, youth violence, drug and alcohol abuse prevention, and breaking the school to prison pipeline. MMP provides training for mentoring program staff on guiding principles of state level advocacy and mobilizes program partners in advocacy campaigns that increase state level funding that directly impact mentoring resources, and drive systemic policy solutions that impact youth across the state.In collaboration with our expansive network of over 270 youth mentoring programs, we successfully maintained finding for the mentoring matching grants program in the Massachusetts State budget at $500,000 during a critical juncture in the budget process when several other programs related to youth services were affected by 9c cuts and the state was addressing an immense revenue shortfall. A key component of this effort to maintain our level-funding for mentoring programs was our annual youth mentoring day at the state house where over 250 supporters attended and over 50 constituent visits with legislators, youth, and mentoring program staff were held. The primary goal of this line item is to increase the number of high-quality mentoring matches through grants to public and private agencies as one approach to close the persistent achievement gap among Massachusetts youth, particularly among students of color. Mass Mentoring Partnership administers the state mentoring matching grants subsidy agreement on behalf of the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education. MMP conducts a competitive RFP process among the state's mentoring programs, and 32 programs were selected to receive this funding. Resources are also driven to the field through partnership formed with sports teams, cultural institutions, museums, and other family-friendly recreational venues, leading to the donation of tickets and entrance documents that are then provided by MMP to the mentor-mentee matches at mentoring programs throughout Massachusetts. Regarding Mass Mentoring Partnership's policy advocacy, the organization has worked to increase public awareness around specific bills that will systematically impact the increased availability of developmental relationships and social-emotional supports for young people in school. The current efforts focused on graduation coaches as a remedy for high dropout rates among teens across the state, and two bills titled An Act Relative to Dropout Prevention and Recovery (H.2056; S.222). Graduation coaches are professionals with youth development and academic support expertise providing the target population with graduation plans including academic, career, and postsecondary goals. These mentoring relationships have positive impacts on two early indicators of high school drop-out: high levels of absenteeism and recurring behavior problems in school. With outreach to legislators, partnering with organizations and key stakeholders, Mass Mentoring successfully garnered support and raised awareness for this important policy initiative, while also making recommendations to alter language in two bills filed by the chairs of the Joint Committee of Education to shift the nature of the role of a graduation coach from a strictly academic one to a wraparound support that focuses on the holistic wellbeing of students, which were incorporated by the House and Senate chairwomen. 315111 111454 315111 111454 2039885 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 7 0 72 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 X 21 21 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 MA X X X Brandon Tunney CO MASS MENTORING PARTNERSHIP 6176952430 75 Kneeland Street BOSTON MA 02111 George Neble Chair 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Steve Powell Vice chair 1.00 X X 0 0 0 John mahoney Treasurer 1.00 X X 0 0 0 FATHER J DONALD MONAN SJ ex officio lifetime member 1.00 X 0 0 0 chief felix arroyo BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 Paul C O'Brien Ex officio lifetime member 1.00 X 0 0 0 brian sullivan BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 ANDREA J CABRAL BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 raNDALL P SEIDL bOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 jacqui conrad board member 1.00 X 0 0 0 sonja kelly farmer board member 1.00 X 0 0 0 mark eldridge board member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Ann Burke Clerk 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Tom Caron BoARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 Paul Cronin BoARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 Deborah Lawrence BoARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 Regina M Pisa BoARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 Warren Zola BoaRD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 Colin Brunch Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Joshua B Franklin Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Marty Martinez President & CEO 45.00 X 148437 0 10032 Sue Anne Zamansky Vice President & COO 45.00 X 154007 0 4638 302444 0 14670 2 1 1 0 0 211085 784874 1239930 2235889 consulting services an 812900 107338 107338 107338 2335 2335 46747 211085 32494 14253 14253 other income 812900 4116 4116 4116 2363931 111454 0 16588 483488 483488 384127 384127 317115 241700 24882 50533 618497 471409 48530 98558 57181 43582 4487 9112 70675 53867 5546 11262 38026 38026 25098 10756 8816 5526 2999 2134 532 333 23220 14211 3382 5627 146448 119579 9054 17815 44968 41234 536 3198 103164 94597 1231 7336 Mentor Program Support 20000 20000 Kelly Award 19400 19400 MISC 2945 1775 1170 2357351 2039885 108166 209300 843995 925917 619662 620716 991327 922659 121826 85908 47121 35918 1078 1078 51525 37380 2554708 2543668 132857 111495 399586 403398 19653 19583 552096 534476 X 1519228 1495985 483384 513207 2002612 2009192 2554708 2543668 6580 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 2228076 1755013 1591487 1879296 2235889 9689761 2228076 1755013 1591487 1879296 2235889 9689761 1468148 8221613 5735 5040 3625 2916 2335 19651 89052 76974 122169 176454 111454 576103 10285515 0.79930 0.81530 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 1 1 0 1 227 0 0 1 37799 0 0 38026 0 Part II-B, Line 1: LINE 1G INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING EXPENSES IN SUPPORT OF LOBBYING ACTIVITIES: LOBBYING EXPENSES PAID FOR CONSULTING SERVICES $14,604 ALLOCATION OF MMP STAFF SALARIES IN SUPPORT OF LOBBYING $10,021 ALLOCATION OF OPERATING EXPENSES IN SUPPORT OF LOBBYING $13,174 TOTAL $37,799 5620 2766 2854 116206 83142 33064 35918 X 2557219 193288 193288 2363931 0 2363931 2550639 193288 193288 2357351 0 2357351 Part X, Line 2: The Organization is exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"), whereby only unrelated business income, as defined by Section 512(a)(1) of the Code, is subject to Federal income tax. The Organization had no unrelated business income during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015. In addition, the Organization qualifies for the charitable deduction under section 170(b)(1)(A) and has been classified as an Organization other than a private foundation under section 509(a) of the Code. The Organization recognizes and measures its unrecognized tax positions and assesses the likelihood, based on their technical merit, that tax positions will be sustained upon examination based on the facts, circumstances and information available at the end of each period. The measurement of unrecognized tax positions is adjusted when new information is available, or when an event occurs that requires a change. Interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax positions, if any, would be classified as additional income taxes in the statements of activities. The Organization did not identify any uncertain tax positions at December 31, 2016 and 2015.
