Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

To prevent the sexual abuse of minors by educating children and adults about sexual predators, promoting awareness of sexual abuse laws and supporting survivors and their families in post-disclosure recovery, making America safer for our children.

Activities or mission (Part I)

Lauren's Kids, Inc.'s mission is to prevent the sexual abuse through education and awareness and to help survivors heal with guidance and support.

  • The organization receives funds to support Florida school districts in implementing the lessons from Lauren's Kids "Safer, Smarter Schools" curriculum for Florida's public (including charter) school students in grades pre-kindergarten through 12, with supporting professional development and trainings for educators. This is the first-ever comprehensive pre-kindergarten through grade 12 program school-based prevention and personal safety curriculum. The funds were used to research best practices, consult with career educators, administrators, mental health professionals, and developmental psychologists to develop educationally sound, research-based materials aligned to Florida state education standards. Funds were also used to produce animated videos and digital curriculum modules for children, parents and educators.

    Expenses $786,709

  • The organization developed an educational brochure regarding protecting children against sexual abuse that is included in 8-10 million vehicle registration renewals. Since 95% of childhood sexual abuse is preventable through education and awareness, the goal is to reach as many individuals with direct messaging as possible. The program that allows Lauren's Kids to provide an educational insert in motor vehicle registration renewal notices assures that over 8 million individuals will read the material this year. In December of each year a targeted program occurs in driver's license renewal offices where close to 500,000 individuals are provided with educational materials on how to better protect our children from predators and pedophiles. The organization wrote books entitled "It's Ok to Tell and "Lauren's Kids" which is intended to educate people about abuse. In addition the organization incurs expenses in delivering education materials and class work on the subject of abuse.

  • Withheld by Nonprofiteer: this text may name a private individual.

    Expenses $17,902

As filed on the 2024 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here. A text marked withheld matched a screen for wording that may name a private individual, such as an honorific or "in memory of". Most of what it withholds names no one; it is withheld so that what does is never shown.

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. 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. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

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 11 November 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.
