Mission

To work with public schools that have a high concentration of children living in poverty and/or homes where no English is spoken and/or parental education is lacking. These geographic areas have few parents who can help in the classroom and give educational support to their children. We recruit educated, mature volunteers to work under the direction of the teacher. The teacher designates which children need help and provides the appropriate materials for them. The child reads to the volunteer, while the volunteer assist with comprehension and pronunciation.

Each tax year counts once: when a return was amended, only the latest return for that period is used below (superseded returns stay listed, greyed, under Finances).

People paid by the organization

None of the 28 people listed on these returns reported compensation from the organization. They are listed below.

Officers and directors, no compensation reported

28 people listed on the returns with $0 (or no amount) in every compensation column: current people first. Hours are as filed on the latest return each person appears on.

Who the money went to

Grants this organization reported paying: Schedule I Part II of the Form 990, or the grants-paid list on the 990-PF. Open a year for every recipient. Recipients link to their own page when the grant names an EIN we have (990-PF grants list no EIN, so those link only on an exact, unique name and state). Grants to individuals are counted; their names are not shown.

2022 · 1 grant to organizations · $8K
2021 · 1 grant to organizations · $8K
2020 · 1 grant to organizations · $19K
2019 · 6 grants to organizations · $24K
2018 · 6 grants to organizations · $33K
2017 · 4 grants to organizations · $24K
2016 · 1 grant to organizations · $18K

Listed grants add up to $18,000; the return's “grants paid” expense line says $26,960. Returns can differ here (grants paid vs. accrued, items listed elsewhere); check the filing.

Negative amounts are returned or refunded grants; they are listed last and left out of the totals of grants paid.

Who gave

Contributor names are not public for this form type.

Public charities filing Form 990 or 990-EZ report large donors on Schedule B, but the IRS withholds their names and addresses from public copies. Private foundations (990-PF) are different: their contributors are public.

Finances

Newest first. Each filing: its name on one row, its figures on the row beneath. Greyed filings are superseded by a later return for the same period and are left out everywhere else on this page.

Where the money went

Every expense line on each return, biggest first: Form 990 Part IX (with its program, management and fundraising columns), 990-EZ Part I, or 990-PF Part I. Event marks lines the organization itself describes as events. “Events” in each summary adds those lines, conferences and meetings, and the direct costs of fundraising events. Unusual is not the same as improper. Many of these patterns have ordinary explanations. Check the filing.
