• LETTERWRITING & MY CAREER: STEP-BY-STEP: HISPA'S LETTERING CAMPAIGN ENGAGES VOLUNTEERS TO WRITE ENCOURAGING LETTERS TO UPLIFT STUDENTS WHO MAY FACE BARRIERS TO SUCCESS. THESE LETTERS LET STUDENTS KNOW THAT ADULTS HAVE GONE THROUGH SIMILAR EXPERIENCES AND PERSEVERED. KNOWING THAT SOMEONE BELIEVES IN THEM MOTIVATES STUDENTS TO PERSEVERE AND PURSUE THEIR ACADEMIC AND CAREER ASPIRATIONS. WITH "MY CAREER: STEP-BY-STEP," VOLUNTEERS COMPLETE A ONE-PAGE TEMPLATE INTRODUCING THEIR CAREERS AND THE SIGNIFICANT ACTIVITIES AND MILESTONES FROM MIDDLE SCHOOLS THROUGH COLLEGE THAT ALLOWED THEM TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN THEIR FIELDS. THIS TEMPLATE PROVIDES GREATER EXPOSURE AND ACCESS TO COLLEGE AND CAREER READINESS INFORMATION THAT MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE FROM OTHER SOURCES. BOTH PROGRAMS TARGET LOW-INCOME YOUTH IN GRADES 6 TO 9, MANY OF WHOM WOULD BE THE FIRST IN THEIR FAMILIES TO GO TO COLLEGE. OVER 700 LETTERS AND MY CAREER: STEP-BY-STEP WERE COLLECTED IN 2024-25.

Listed in Part VII

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.

Part I's answers as filed. A line not listed was left unanswered; on lines 1a and 3 that means the box was not checked.
