Mission and programs · 2022

Mission

To improve the quality of education in our extended South FL community by supporting students who most need help in learning to read and providing encouragement for the teachers who are working hard each day to influence and inspire children to learn.

Activities or mission (Part I)

Roots and Wings provides afterschool educational programs for 1st through 4th grade public school students struggling with reading skills, & hosts an award program for public school teachers & staff who provide a superior learning environment.

  • Project UpLift began at Pine Grove in the fall of the 2017-18 school year as a 3rd grade after school program to help 30 struggling readers learn the basics. We are now in 8 schools, helping up to a total of 540 Title One students in 1st-4th grades in Boca Raton, Delray Beach and Boynton Beach.

    Expenses $348,375 · Revenue $512,967

  • The Above and Beyond Teacher and Staff Recognition program began in 2016 as a fun, celebratory way to honor the hard work of public school teachers who often go unrecognized. The principals of each of the schools pick the winners, many times with the help of faculty and staff. Members of the Board of Roots and Wings, along with donors, Community leaders and interested members of our Community attend these award presentations. We have honored over 1,000 teachers and staff since its inception.

    Expenses $189,545 · Revenue $180,202

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.
