Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

The Sandy Springs Mission is dedicated to helping and inspiring at-risk students throughout the academic continuum. A faith-based, 501(c)(3), community focused organization, we provide year-round academic enrichment programs designed to transform the hearts and minds of the students.

Activities or mission (Part I)

The Sandy Springs Mission is dedicated to helping and inspiring at-risk students throughout the academic continuum.

  • After-School Programs (Elementary & Middle School): In our elementary program, we served 200 elementary students and 60 middle school students, coming from two different elementary public schools and one middle school, respectively, in Fulton County, Georgia. We continued to provide intensive, targeted tutoring to language-learners (students) in our community.

    Expenses $144,871 · Grants $4,771

  • High School Program: In addition to continuing our tutoring program inside Riverwood International Charter School, as part of our intensive Targeted Tutoring, we were able to extend the same type of program to North Springs High School. A total of 70 students were part of this program. As a result, students were able to get the help they needed, and we saw students' grades improve throughout the school year.

    Expenses $116,739

  • Summer Camps: Elementary and middle school students were able to participate in our summer program. Over 120 students received a combination of academic enrichment programs as well as fun activities. Students were involved in reading, math, and summer bridge activities to help them review what they in the grade just completed and look at some of the new topics they will see in the next grade.

    Expenses $89,214

  • Dual Enrollment Program: In addition to expanding to one more high school in 2023, we launched a new initiative to provide dual enrollment classes for high school students in 2023. We launched with 33 students in the fall.

    Expenses $85,378

As filed on the 2023 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

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.
