Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

The Foundation's sole mission is to raise sustainable funding for Academic Masters and to provide support in ensuring the Competition's future. Encourage educational excellence and achievement.

  • The Competition features separate contests in English, Social Studies, Mathematics, Science, and Music. Each high school is represented by their top student in each field. The four continuing schools therefore each send five students (one per subject) to the final public event. Students compete in first a written exam at Rogue Community College and then in an oral performance before an audience. Finalists compete not only for the honor of winning but for cash prizes contributed by the community.

    Expenses $33,993

  • Support to local schools for participating in the program.

    Grants $7,500

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.
