Mission and programs · 2022

Mission

TOGETHER, WE UNITE MILITARY FAMILIES FACING PHYSICAL SEPARATION BY FACILITATING THE BONDING EXPERIENCE OF READING ALOUD.

  • United Through Reading offers military service members the opportunity to be video-recorded reading books to their children at home, and then the books and videos are delivered to the children so that they can follow along as their loved ones read their favorite story. This program creates and strengthens emotional connections between parents and their children, encourages literacy and makes homecoming easier. According to surveys, 93% of participants report a decrease in their childrens anxiety during deployment and 78% of service member participants report a reduction in their own stress during deployment.Despite the challenges of COVID-19 in 2022 and 2021, United Through Reading distributed more than 135,000 books at over 1,500 virtual and in person events around the world. With the release of their self-service Android and iOS app United Through Reading was able to produce recordings in all 50 states, and many locations overseas. The app also allowed them to expand their services to include U.S. military veterans and their families.

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

  • 3 · Form 990 of other organizations
  • 3 · Approval by the board or compensation committee

Answered no

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

  • 8 · Paid under the initial-contract exception

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.
