Mission and programs · 2022

Mission

The Technology Access Foundation builds collaborative relationships with public education to create access to transformative systems of learning for students and teachers of color to eliminate race-based disparities in an increasingly diverse society.

Activities or mission (Part I)

Technology Access Foundation (TAF) builds collaborative relationships with public education to create access to transformative systems of learning for students and teachers of color to eliminate race-based disparities in an increasingly diverse society.

TAF Academy is a 6th to 12th grade public school with a mission to prepare every student for college and life through a rigorous and relevant Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) focused curriculum. The goal is to enlist students as active participants in their education and cultivate a keen awareness of their important role with-in the world. The first TAF Academy opened in Federal Way Public School District in September 2008 with 130 students. Enrollment continued to grow and in 2017-18 school year TAF moved to a new location in Federal Way, now called TAF@Saghalie, more than doubling capacity. Enrollment for 2022-23 was 556. TAF additionally added Washington Middle School in Seattle, now named TAF@Washington with 583 students in the 2022-2023 school year. To acclimate incoming 6th graders into our program, TAF also offers STEMbyTAF Jump Start daily camp for two weeks in the summer at both schools each year.

Expenses $1,620,167
STEMbyTAF School Transformation is a program focused on Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) curriculum where TAF supports public schools (Kindergarten through 5th grade) that are interested in transforming their academic environment to model that of our award-winning TAF Academy School. In 2022-23 there were 2,211 students at the five elementary schools plus a middle school in three districts (Tacoma, Federal Way and Highline school districts) that TAF supported with this program. TAF is in planning to expand the program to other schools and districts.

Expenses $695,443 · Revenue $52,480
Network for EdWork (NWEW) is TAF's teacher diversity entity and comprises of the Martinez Fellowship (early-career coaching, ongoing professional development, and networking opportunities for new teachers of color), Education EnCounter (practical leadership and community building through the lens of decolonization for current and aspiring education leaders of color) and Ally Engagement (connecting, developing, and empowering anti-racist white leaders in education). The Martinez Fellowship was established by Edgar and Holli Martinez in 2008 as the Martinez Foundation, with a mission of improving teacher diversity. In December 2015, The Martinez Foundation entrusted TAF to continue its efforts of diversifying the teacher population and improving ethically correct educational curriculum in school districts. TAF's Martinez Fellowship served 339 Fellows this year. In 2020, TAF expanded the NWEW program with focus on education leadership and community building with the Education EnCounter and Ally Engagement programs. Additionally, TAF's Academy for EDvancement focuses on teacher professional development through its STEMbyTAF Teacher Institute, which nearly 100 teachers attend each year, as well as series of vertical courses focusing on Family and Community Engagement, Educational Technology and Project-based Learning.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
