Suncoast Voices for Children meets the needs of these children in the following ways:1. Prevent children from being removed by working with the Child Protective Investigators to Provide needed beds and bedding and other necessities, such as door alarms, lock boxes, cleaning supplies, etc. In 2015, the Foundation provided more than $92,000 in beds and bedding to stabilize children's home life.2. Protect infants from suffocation caused by cosleeping with adults in the family by Providing portable cribs whenever cosleeping is identified by Child Protective Investigators or State contracted caseworkers.3. Prevent failure in school by Providing one on one tutoring for children identified by teachers and caseworkers as needing assistance to avoid failing a grade.4. Provide opportunities for normalcy needed to shore up children's psychological and emotional needs, by Providing funding for camps, dance lessons, birthday cakes, school trips, sports clothes, and school uniforms. 176759 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 2 0 3 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 16 16 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 FL X X Wilma Williams 7275823609 8550 ULMERTON ROAD No 255 LARGO FL 33771 X Rita Becchetti Board Member 6.00 X 0 0 0 Patsy Buker Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Mary Diez Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Mary Huddleston Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Mona Lisa Johnson Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Diane Luttmann Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 David G McConnell Board Member 4.00 X 0 0 0 John K Mione Board Member 4.00 X 0 0 0 The Honorable Frank Quesada Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Shirley Morrison Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Celeste Valenty Board Member 8.00 X 0 0 0 Cynthia Faulhaber President 10.00 X X 0 0 0 Carol Conaway Past President 20.00 X X 0 0 0 Donna Gaffney Vice-President 5.00 X X 0 0 0 Carol Dinsdale Secretary 4.00 X X 0 0 0 Kari Mainelli Treasurer 4.00 X X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 215702 10742 215702 4385 805 3580 3580 219282 0 0 3580 154832 154832 24576 15974 4915 3687 1002 651 200 151 4990 1117 3726 147 3885 2570 1315 3299 476 1819 1004 1996 998 499 499 MISCELLANEOUS EXPENSE 2235 141 1978 116 196815 176759 14452 5604 134122 156648 3282 4362 3161 3161 0 0 137404 161010 2220 3359 2220 3359 X 120184 137101 15000 20550 135184 157651 137404 161010 22467 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 68919 107866 155047 203294 215702 750828 9972 9606 7992 7992 7992 43554 78891 117472 163039 211286 223694 794382 145240 649142 794382 31930 0.81720 0.87560 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 3161 3161 0 0 X 229327 9240 805 10045 219282 0 219282 206860 9240 805 10045 196815 0 196815 Part X, Line 2: The Organization is exempt from income tax under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
