  • 2024 WAS A SUCCESSFUL YEAR FOR SWIFT YOUTH FOUNDATION. NOT ONLY DID WE END THE YEAR WITH ENOUGH TO PAY OURSELVES BACK FROM THE PREVIOUS YEAR, BUT WE ALSO HAVE ENOUGH TO BEGIN EXPANDING OUR PROGRAMMING, ALLOWING US TO TRIPLE OUR IMPACT IN THE VALLEY BY 2025. IN OCTOBER 2023, SWIFT YOUTH FOUNDATION HOSTED ITS 1ST ANNUAL GOLF TOURNAMENT. WE HAD 88 GOLFERS AND IT TOOK PLACE AT THE RAVEN GOLF CLUB IN PHOENIX. WE HAD OVER 33 VOLUNTEERS WHO CAME TOGETHER TO MAKE THIS FIRST GOLF TOURNAMENT A SUCCESS. OUR TEEN LEADERSHIP BOA, COMPRISED OF OVER 21 TEENS FROM 6 DIFFERENT SCHOOLS CAME TOGETHER FOR GIVING TUESDAY IN NOVEMBER AND, AS A TEAM, THEY RAISED OVER 35,000 FOR OUR PROGRAMMING FEBRUARY BROUGHT GREAT SUCCESS WITH OUR ANNUAL CARNIVAL, WHICH HOSTED 307 STUDENTS AND OVER 120 VOLUNTEERS. OUR THEME WAS RODEO AND WE HAD A BLAST WITH EVERY ONE OF OUR BOOTHS SPONSORED. ADDITIONALLY, WE ALLOWED THE VOLUNTEERS TO CREATE THE T-SHIRT DESIGN. WE HAD SIX SUBMISSIONS, AND OUR FOLLOWERS VOTED ON THE DESIGN VIA INSTAGRAM. IT WAS A HUGE HIT WITHIN THE COMMUNITY, AS PEOPLE OF ALL AGES SUBMITTED THEIR DESIGN

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.
