Activities or mission (Part I)

SINCE 1977, THE PARENTING NETWORK (TPN) HAS SERVED FAMILIES THROUGHOUT THE GREATER MILWAUKEE COMMUNITY WITH ITS MISSION TO STRENGTHEN FAMILIES AND TO PREVENT CHILD ABUSE. CHILD ABUSE IS LARGELY PREVENTABLE WHEN PARENTS HAVE RELIABLE SUPPORT SYSTEMS AND ADEQUATE RESOURCES TO ADDRESS CHALLENGES AND CRISES. THE PRIMARY GOAL FOR AGENCY SERVICES IS TO INCREASE THE CAPACITY OF ANYONE IN A PARENTING ROLE TO PROVIDE SAFE, HEALTHY, NURTURING ENVIRONMENTS FOR THE CHILDREN IN THEIR CARE. IN 2003, THE AGENCY EXPANDED ITS PREVENTION ACTIVITIES TO INCLUDE YOUTH. EDUCATING AND EMPOWERING YOUTH TO MAKE HEALTHY LIFE CHOICES IS A SECONDARY GOAL DIRECTLY CONNECTED TO OUR MISSION. THE PARENTING NETWORK IS A WELL-ESTABLISHED AGENCY THAT SERVES A DIVERSE POPULATION AND IS CULTURALLY INCLUSIVE. THE STAFF, BOARD AND VOLUNTEER COMPOSITION REFLECTS THE DIVERSITY OF THOSE WE SERVE. TPN SERVES AN ESTIMATED 8,000 PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS ANNUALLY.

  • PARENTING EDUCATION AND SUPPORT - TO STRENGTHEN PARENTING AND TO PREVENT CHILD ABUSE HAS BEEN THE MISSION OF THE PARENTING NETWORK SINCE OUR FOUNDING IN 1976. WE BELIEVE THAT EVERY CHILD DESERVES TO GROW UP IN A SAFE, STABLE & NURTURING ENVIRONMENT. EVERY YEAR, WE SUPPORT AND EDUCATE OVER 8,000 PARENTS, CAREGIVERS, INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES THROUGH COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT, IN-SCHOOL PROGRAMMING, AND IN-HOME SUPPORT. OUR PROGRAMS AND SERVICES PROVIDE EDUCATION AND SERVICES TO PREVENT AND END THE CYCLE OF ABUSE. WE TEACH CLASSES, PROVIDE A 24 HOUR HOTLINE FOR SUPPORT, AND OFFER OTHER PROGRAMS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. WE EMPOWER OUR CLIENTS TO NURTURE CHILDREN IN A HEALTHY WAY AND LEARN LIFE SKILLS THAT CAN TEACH NEW BEHAVIORS THAT CAN STOP THE CYCLE OF ABUSE THROUGH THE LENS OF TRAUMA INFORMED CARE. WE FOCUS ON RESEARCH BASED PROTECTIVE FACTORS THAT ARE PRESENT IN HEALTHY FAMILIES. IN ADDITION TO SERVING CURRENT PARENTS AND CAREGIVERS, WE ALSO PROVIDE EDUCATION TO THE YOUTH THROUGH TEEN PREGNANCY PREVENTION AND SUPPORT TO EDUCATE THEM ABOUT HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS.

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. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Grants received

The 10 largest by cash amount. The API serves every itemized grant.

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.

What this page reflects
