Students have access to advisors daily during the school year. With this support, a college-going community is created among greatly under-served students who will most likely be the first in their families to go to college. To date, over 120,000 students and their families have completed the college process. EIF was awarded as one of the 10 best College Access organizations in the country by the Education Policy Institute. The National College Access Network gave EIF their Award of Excellence. 190395 The Mayors Intern Fellows Program: With this EIF-developed program, ElF partners with the Dallas Mayors office to provide paid summer internships with Dallas top companies and organizations to foster comprehensive job skills training and professional development. Along with providing the internships, EIF has facilitated over 21,700 hours of workforce development training. The belief is that with career exposure, workforce readiness skills, and postsecondary education, these students will become productive members of the workforce, and thus, the community. 73108 28300 College Persistence: With one-on-one support, EIF seeks to reduce or eliminate the hurdles students face once they arrive on their new campuses thanks to their on-site College Persistence Coordinator. They continue to provide services through the sophomore year to solidify the potential for success. On one of the two campuses with on-site coordinators, 93% of the students working with EIF have re-enrolled in college for year two. (National numbers show college persistence at about 70%.) Remote advisors serve at just over a dozen other universities with dedicated help phone lines, e-mails, newsletters, social media communications, resource support and professional development. 62719 1584671 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false true true false false false false false false false false false false false true true false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false true 25 0 true 92 true false false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false false false false X 13 13 false false false false false false false true false false false false true false true true true true false false X X Emily Freeman 2144328563 1111 W Mockingbird Ln 1300B Dallas TX 75247 David Biegler Chairman 0.07 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Rafael Anchia Secretary 0.07 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Patrick Brandt Director 0.07 0.00 X 0 0 0 Al Bru Director 0.07 0.00 X 0 0 0 Gloria Campos Director 0.07 0.00 X 0 0 0 Debbie Cox Director 0.07 0.00 X 0 0 0 Sal Fira Director 0.07 0.00 X 0 0 0 Joe Vonder Haar Director 0.07 0.00 X 0 0 0 James Keyes Founder/Directo 0.07 0.00 X 0 0 0 Mavis Knight Director 0.07 0.00 X 0 0 0 Mark Okada Director 0.07 0.00 X 0 0 0 Drexel Owusu Director 0.07 0.00 X 0 0 0 Senator Royce West Director 0.07 0.00 X 0 0 0 Marcia Page President & CEO 50.00 0.00 X 190830 0 15011 Molly Cook Controller 45.00 0.00 X 48404 0 7614 239234 22625 1 false true false 0 1307231 464859 1772090 0 10 10 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Refund / Insurance claim 1750 1750 1750 1773850 1760 0 28300 28300 0 0 285746 154990 88782 41974 77748 62276 7153 8319 847085 752409 15438 79238 11542 9245 1062 1235 55268 44269 5085 5914 102505 82105 9431 10969 0 0 0 0 0 0 174900 137404 30199 7297 4771 3822 439 510 65585 53749 4656 7180 96919 77633 8916 10370 0 42223 22784 8987 10452 51187 41281 4364 5542 0 98506 78903 9063 10540 0 0 29260 29260 16053 12858 1477 1718 Program materials 14198 11373 1306 1519 Evaluation research 7688 6158 707 823 Dues and subscriptions 6382 5112 587 683 0 2015866 1584671 226912 204283 852690 865462 100000 100000 601619 312076 0 0 0 0 0 6542 9366 489385 445167 65638 44218 0 0 0 0 0 1626489 1331122 154671 101320 154671 101320 X 760908 839931 710910 389871 1471818 1229802 1626489 1331122 -242016 X false true X true false X 3259819 2589322 3147376 2268048 1772090 13036655 0 0 0 0 3259819 2589322 3147376 2268048 1772090 13036655 148700 148700 0 148700 148700 12887955 59 78 26 52 10 225 0 59 78 26 52 10 225 0 3662 1750 5412 3259878 2589400 3147402 2271762 1773850 13042292 0.98820 0.99720 0.00000 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 402569 371944 30625 86816 73223 13593 44218 X 1885184 111334 111334 1773850 1773850 2127200 111334 111334 2015866 2015866 Part X : FIN48 Footnote Management has concluded that any tax positions that would not meet the more-likely-than-not criterion of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 740-10, Accounting for Income Taxes, would be immaterial to the financial statements taken as a whole.
