THIS INCLUDES PROVIDING COACHING AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT FOR TEACHERS AND SCHOOL/DISTRICT LEADERS IN ORDER TO IMPLEMENT MORE EFFECTIVE TEACHING STRATEGIES, AND ALSO TO CREATE NEW PARTNERSHIP WITH HIGHER EDUCATION LEADERS AND BUSINESS LEADERS, FOCUSED ON COLLEGE AND CAREER PREPARATION. WE ARE GUIDED BY THE BELIEF THAT THE QUALITY OF EDUCATION FOR KANSAS CITY'S URBAN YOUTH WILL HAVE A POWERFUL AND LASTING EFFECT NOT ONLY ON STUDENTS' LIVES, BUT ALSO ON THE QUALITY OF ECONOMIC AND CIVIC LIFE THROUGHOUT OUR REGION.PREP-KC IS UNIQUELY POSITIONED TO TAKE ON THIS WORK SUCCESSFULLY BECAUSE: 1) WE HAVE LONG-TERM, HIGH-TRUST, EFFECTIVE RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE DISTRICT LEADERSHIP TEAMS, SCHOOL LEADERSHIP TEAMS, AND TEACHERS IN OUR PARTNER-DISTRICTS, 2) WE HAVE A PROVEN SET OF STRATEGIES THAT ARE IMPROVING ACADEMIC OUTCOMES FOR URBAN STUDENTS, AND 3) WE HAVE A WEB-BASED DATA DASHBOARD TO MEASURE PROGRESS AND GUIDE IMPLEMENTATION.THE PREP-KC TEAM IS UNIQUELY SKILLED AT COLLABORATING WITH EDUCATORS TO DESIGN AND IMPLEMENT IMPROVEMENT STRATEGIES. ADDITIONALLY, THE PREP-KC TEAM IS EXPERT IN USING DATA TO GUIDE IMPLEMENTATION AND CREATE ACCOUNTABILITY FOR RESOURCES.PREP-KC WAS FOUNDED IN 2005 IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE CIVIC COUNCIL OF GREATER KANSAS CITY AND THE GREATER KANSAS CITY COMMUNITY FOUNDATION AS A REGIONAL EDUCATIONAL INTERMEDIARY TO FOCUS RESOURCES ON IMPROVING COLLEGE AND CAREER PREPARATION FOR THE BI-STATE REGION'S URBAN STUDENTS. SINCE OUR FOUNDING, PREP-KC HAS DEVELOPED HIGH-TRUST RELATIONSHIPS WITH KANSAS CITY'S SIX URBAN SCHOOL DISTRICTS WHICH COLLECTIVELY SERVE NEARLY HALF OF THE 5-COUNTY REGION'S LOW-INCOME STUDENTS AND STUDENTS-OF-COLOR, AND A GROWING NUMBER OF ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNERS. EVIDENCE OF OUR SUCCESS INCLUDES IMPROVEMENTS IN ACADEMIC OUTCOMES FOR STUDENTS SERVED BY OUR FIVE PARTNER SCHOOL DISTRICTS (AS MEASURED BY A WEB-BASED DATA DASHBOARD DEVELOPED BY PREP-KC AS A KEY ACCOUNTABILITY TOOL). FOCUS AREASMATH BENCHMARKINGPREP-KC WORKS WITH MATH DEPARTMENTS, OFTEN IN GRADES 2-12, TO EQUIP TEACHERS WITH THE NECESSARY SUPPORTS TO RAISE THE RIGOR OF ALL MATH CLASSES TO PREPARE ALL STUDENTS FOR SUCCESS IN ADVANCED MATH CLASSES. MORE THAN EVER BEFORE, ADVANCED MATH IS REQUIRED FOR SUCCESS IN HIGHER EDUCATION AND IN HIGH-GROWTH CAREERS IN THE KANSAS CITY REGION. STUDIES SHOW THAT WHEN STUDENTS EXPERIENCE SUCCESS IN MATH, THEIR CONFIDENCE ALSO IMPROVES IN OTHER SUBJECTS.WORKFORCE PREPARATIONPREP-KC HAS CREATED SIX NEW CAREER ACADEMIES IN HIGH-GROWTH FIELDS SUCH AS BIOTECHNOLOGY, BUSINESS/FINANCE, AND ENGINEERING. THESE ACADEMIES GIVE STUDENTS EARLY BUSINESS EXPERIENCES AND INDUSTRY KNOWLEDGE. THESE BUSINESS/INDUSTRY-BASED EXPERIENCES HELP STUDENTS WHO MIGHT NOT OTHERWISE HAVE THESE OPPORTUNITIES, DEVELOP ASPIRATIONS FOR THEIR FUTURES, HELPING THEM TO DEVELOP CONCRETE PLANS FOR POSTSECONDARY EDUCATION AND ULTIMATELY, EMPLOYMENT.EARLY COLLEGE OPPORTUNITIESBY WORKING WITH URBAN HIGH SCHOOLS AND AREA HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS, PREP-KC IS ESTABLISHING MULTIPLE OPPORTUNITIES FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS TO TAKE COLLEGE COURSES WHILE STILL IN HIGH SCHOOL. THIS IS ESPECIALLY CRITICAL FOR FIRST-GENERATION HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES AND FIRST-GENERATION COLLEGE APPLICANTS. STUDIES SHOW THAT STUDENTS WHO SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETE COLLEGE COURSES BEFORE THE END OF THEIR HIGH SCHOOL EDUCATION ARE MORE LIKELY TO COMPLETE POSTSECONDARY EDUCATION. IN ADDITION, LOW-INCOME STUDENTS CAN REDUCE THE COST OF POSTSECONDARY EDUCATION BY COMPLETING SOME COURSES WHILE ATTENDING HIGH SCHOOL. 1243111 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 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 1 0 0 9 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 8 8 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 MO X X GREATER KC COMMUNITY FNDT 8168420944 1055 BROADWAY SUITE 130 KANSAS CITY MO 64105 LEO MORTON 1.00 X X 0 0 0 DAVID WARM 1.00 X 0 0 0 RAY DANIELS 1.00 X 0 0 0 RAMON MURGUIA 1.00 X 0 0 0 EDWARD HONESTY 1.00 X 0 0 0 TOM FORRESTER 1.00 X 0 0 0 CHRIS GENTILE 1.00 X 0 0 0 MADELINE ROMIOUS 1.00 X 0 0 0 SUSAN WALLY 60.00 X X 159068 0 0 KATHLEEN BOYLE DALEN 60.00 X 145861 0 8900 304929 0 8900 2 0 1 0 MR DENNIS K CHACONAS 836 GROSVENOR PLACE OAKLAND CA 94610 CONSULTING SERVICES 408800 1 1222217 1222217 47669 47669 316541 274935 41606 41606 41606 1311492 0 0 89275 313933 156967 31393 125573 409454 371106 12010 26338 901 901 24000 24000 4912 2456 2456 5927 5927 60851 30426 30425 CONSULTING FEES 466449 466449 COACHING/TRAINING 192204 192204 MISCELLANEOUS EXPENSES 26263 17576 8687 1504894 1243111 109872 151911 2117254 2065716 302930 250000 67600 917 0 1942691 1859583 4363792 4242899 142828 137360 142828 137360 X 3428150 3468017 792814 637522 4220964 4105539 4363792 4242899 -193402 77977 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 2799491 1009354 910964 1523703 1222217 7465729 2799491 1009354 910964 1523703 1222217 7465729 3999955 3465774 127241 75091 58639 51889 47669 360529 7826258 0.44280 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 1388568 77977 77977 1310591 901 901 1311492 1503993 0 1503993 901 901 1504894 X X X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 SUSAN WALLY 159068 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 159068 0 0 0 KATHLEEN BOYLE DALEN 145861 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 8900 0 154761 0 0 0 FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 11 THE ORGANIZATION'S OFFICERS WILL REVIEW THE FORM 990 PRIOR TO FILING THE RETURNS WITH THE IRS.
