| Desc | THE DICTIONARY PROJECT FUNCTIONS AND STRIVES TO ENSURE THAT PEOPLE THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES AND AROUND THE WORLD ARE ABLE TO ENJOY THE BENEFITS OF OWNING A DICTIONARY. PROGRAM EFFORTS ARE FOCUSED PRIMARILY ON ASSISTING ALL PEOPLE IN BECOMING GOOD WRITERS, ACTIVE READERS, CREATIVE THINKERS, AND RESOURCEFUL LEARNERS BY PROVIDING THEM WITH THEIR OWN PERSONAL DICTIONARY. AS AN ORGANIZATION, WE BELIEVE THAT A DICTIONARY IS AN ESSENTIAL TOOL FOR A QUALITY EDUCATION, AND THAT ONE CANNOT DO THEIR BEST WORK WITHOUT A DICTIONARY. THE DICTIONARY PROJECT MAKES PEOPLE SELF-RELIANT BY PROVIDING THEM WITH A RESOURCE THAT SERVES TO HELP THEM BETTER UNDERSTAND HOW TO APPROACH A PROBLEM BY SOUNDING OUT A WORD AND USING CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS TO FIND IT IN A DICTIONARY; THIS EXERCISE GIVES THEM A FEELING OF SATISFACTION AND SELF CONFIDENCE THAT AN ONLINE DICTIONARY DOESN'T OFFER AND HELPS FURTHER DEVELOP AN APPRECIATION OF THE CONNECTIONS THAT ARE FORMED WITH WORDS. DURING 2025, APPROXIMATELY 683,000 DICTIONARIES WERE GIVEN TO STUDENTS IN THE UNITED STATES AND AROUND THE WORLD. WITH THIS RESOURCE, PEOPLE CAN BECOME MORE SELF-RELIANT AND BE BETTER ABLE TO COMMUNICATE THEIR UNIQUE THOUGHTS AND IDEAS, BY SHARING THEIR MOST INNATE GIFTS WITH OTHERS. | Desc |

| FORM 990 - ORGANIZATION'S MISSION | THE MISSION OF THE DICTIONARY PROJECT IS TO ENSURE THAT EVERYONE WILL BE ABLE TO ENJOY THE BENEFITS OF OWNING A DICTIONARY. THIS PROGRAM ASSISTS PEOPLE IN BECOMING GOOD WRITERS, ACTIVE READERS, CREATIVE THINKERS AND RESOURCEFUL LEARNERS BY PROVIDING THEM WITH THEIR OWN PERSONAL DICTIONARY. THE DICTIONARIES ARE A GIFT. EDUCATORS SEE THIRD GRADE AS THE DIVIDING LINE BETWEEN LEARNING TO READ AND READING TO LEARN. WE STRIVE TO INCLUDE EVERY STUDENT EACH YEAR. A DICTIONARY IS AN ESSENTIAL TOOL FOR A QUALITY EDUCATION. A CHILD CANNOT DO HIS OR HER BEST WORK WITHOUT ONE. |
| FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4A | THE DICTIONARY PROJECT FUNCTIONS AND STRIVES TO ENSURE THAT PEOPLE THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES AND AROUND THE WORLD ARE ABLE TO ENJOY THE BENEFITS OF OWNING A DICTIONARY. PROGRAM EFFORTS ARE FOCUSED PRIMARILY ON ASSISTING ALL PEOPLE IN BECOMING GOOD WRITERS, ACTIVE READERS, CREATIVE THINKERS, AND RESOURCEFUL LEARNERS BY PROVIDING THEM WITH THEIR OWN PERSONAL DICTIONARY. AS AN ORGANIZATION, WE BELIEVE THAT A DICTIONARY IS AN ESSENTIAL TOOL FOR A QUALITY EDUCATION, AND THAT ONE CANNOT DO THEIR BEST WORK WITHOUT A DICTIONARY. THE DICTIONARY PROJECT MAKES PEOPLE SELF-RELIANT BY PROVIDING THEM WITH A RESOURCE THAT SERVES TO HELP THEM BETTER UNDERSTAND HOW TO APPROACH A PROBLEM BY SOUNDING OUT A WORD AND USING CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS TO FIND IT IN A DICTIONARY; THIS EXERCISE GIVES THEM A FEELING OF SATISFACTION AND SELF CONFIDENCE THAT AN ONLINE DICTIONARY DOESN'T OFFER AND HELPS FURTHER DEVELOP AN APPRECIATION OF THE CONNECTIONS THAT ARE FORMED WITH WORDS. DURING 2025, APPROXIMATELY 683,000 DICTIONARIES WERE GIVEN TO STUDENTS IN THE UNITED STATES AND AROUND THE WORLD. WITH THIS RESOURCE, PEOPLE CAN BECOME MORE SELF-RELIANT AND BE BETTER ABLE TO COMMUNICATE THEIR UNIQUE THOUGHTS AND IDEAS, BY SHARING THEIR MOST INNATE GIFTS WITH OTHERS. |
