Beacon Place served more than 150 families through year-round academic, enrichment, and family support programs, providing over 7,000 hours of instruction and services to youth from kindergarten through 12th grade. The organization supported academic achievement, college and career readiness, outdoor leadership, physical wellness, and social-emotional development through programs such as Education Enrichment, LAUNCH, Chicago Voyagers, and summer learning initiatives. In addition to educational programming, Beacon Place addressed food insecurity by distributing 783 lunches, 460 food backpacks, more than 6,300 pounds of food, 1,300 pounds of fresh produce, and 180 grocery bags to families in need. Family engagement remained a key focus, with the Moms Program expanding by 30 and participants contributing over 400 volunteer hours. Eight college-bound seniors graduated and received support with tutoring, financial aid applications, college visits, and financial literacy education. 300 volunteers contributed 2,792 service hours, generating an estimated labor value exceeding 100,000.

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.
