During the 2024-2025 school year, we served 1,032 children, strengthening early reading skills through direct programming; engaged 690 parents and caregivers, empowering families to make reading part of daily life; trained 158 preschool teachers, equipping them with early literacy strategies through workshops and professional development; and distributed 3,926 books through our programs and community book nooks to ensure children have access to high-quality reading materials.

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.
