Mission

GIVE Something BACK SUPPORTS STUDENTS WHO HAVE FACED SIGNIFICANT ADVERSITIES, GUIDING THEM TOWARD LONG-TERM SUCCESS IN A SAFE AND CARING COMMUNITY.

Activities or mission (Part I)

Give Something Back supports students who have faced significant adversities,guiding them toward long-term success in a safe and caring community.

  • Give Something Back supports students who have faced significant adversities, guiding them toward long-term success in a safe and caring community. We focus on young people who have experienced the child welfare system, homelessness, traumatic crimes, the incarceration of a parent, and/or other significant adversities (four or more Adverse Childhood Experiences). We provide long-term, professional coaches and courses equipping students to graduate high school, enroll in a postsecondary education (college, community college, or vocational/technical program), secure financial aid, complete their education, and get a job in their chosen profession. Coaches meet with each student twice a month, serving as a personal mentor, helping them create and update Student Action Plans, and teaching our monthly evidence-based, trauma-informed courses on building economic stability, resiliency and relational wealth. For many of Give Something Back's students, their coach is one of the only stable, consistent relationships they have with a supportive adult across the full span of these transitions. While most programs are designed to be a part of young people's lives for a few years, we commit to them for the long-haul.

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.

Schedule J

Answered yes

  • 1a · First-class or charter travel
  • 1b · Written policy on the line-1a expenses
  • 2 · Substantiation required before reimbursing expenses

Answered no

  • 4a · Severance or change-of-control payment
  • 4b · Supplemental nonqualified retirement plan
  • 4c · Equity-based compensation arrangement

  • 5b · Pay contingent on a related organization's revenues
  • 6a · Pay contingent on this organization's net earnings
  • 6b · Pay contingent on a related organization's net earnings
  • 7 · Other non-fixed payments
  • 8 · Paid under the initial-contract exception
