1 other organization in the IRS Business Master File lists the same street address. matched by us

We match the street line and ZIP code as the IRS gives them, ignoring case and outer spaces and nothing else, so "AVE" and "AVENUE" count as different streets and this list can miss some. A shared address can mean related organizations or a shared office, but it can also be a registered agent, a mail drop or a service provider holding mail for unrelated clients. It is not, by itself, evidence that two organizations are connected.

Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

TO PROVIDE QUALITY MENTORS FOR CHILDREN.

  • SINCE 1955, BIG BROTHERS BIG SISTERS OF CENTRAL ARIZONA (BBBS) HAS PROVIDED A FREE AND UNIQUE SERVICE TO FAMILIES IN MARICOPA COUNTY BY PROVIDING PROFESSIONALLY SUPPORTED, ONE-ON-ONE MENTORING. THE AGENCY'S SERVICE AREA EXPANDED TO GILA COUNTY IN 2001 AND TO PINAL COUNTY IN 2005. BBBS OFFERS THE OPPORTUNITY FOR A CHILD TO DEVELOP A HEALTHY RELATIONSHIP WITH A SCREENED AND TRAINED MENTOR, WHILE ALSO PROVIDING WRAPAROUND REFERRAL SERVICES TO THEIR FAMILIES. AS A PRIMARY PREVENTION SERVICE, ANY CHILD AGE 6-15 IS ELIGIBLE TO APPLY. A MAJORITY OF THE CHILDREN SERVED ARE FROM SINGLE PARENT, LOW-INCOME FAMILIES. EACH CHILDMENTOR PAIRING PARTICIPATES IN VARIOUS ACTIVITIES SUCH AS READING, HIKING, CRAFTS, SPORTS, AND ATTENDING SPECIAL AGENCY EVENTS. PROGRAMS FOR YOUTH ARE EITHER COMMUNITY- BASED OR SITE-BASED. IN THE COMMUNITYBASED PROGRAM, VOLUNTEERS PICK UP THE CHILD AT THEIR HOME AND PARTICIPATE IN FUN ACTIVITIES THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY. IN THE SITE-BASED PROGRAM, THE ONE-TO-ONE MENTORING OCCURS IN A GROUP SETTING AT A SPECIFIC LOCATION, EITHER AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, AN AFTERSCHOOL PROGRAM, OR A WORKPLACE. RESEARCHERS FOUND THAT AFTER 18 MONTHS OF SPENDING TIME WITH THEIR BIGS, THE LITTLE BROTHERS AND LITTLE SISTERS, COMPARED TO THOSE CHILDREN NOT IN OUR PROGRAM, WERE: 46% - LESS LIKELY TO BEGIN USING ILLEGAL DRUGS, 52%- LESS LIKELY TO SKIP SCHOOL, AND 33%- LESS LIKELY TO HIT SOMEONE. THEY ALSO FOUND THAT THE LITTLES WERE MORE CONFIDENT OF THEIR PERFORMANCE IN SCHOOLWORK AND GETTING ALONG BETTER WITH THEIR FAMILIES. OUR ORGANIZATION IS DEDICATED TO MEETING THE POST-PANDEMIC NEEDS OF OUR YOUTH BY PROVIDING INCREASED WRAPAROUND SERVICE REFERRALS AND TRAININGS TO PARENTS, YOUTH MENTAL HEALTH AND WELLNESS EDUCATION, AND ACADEMIC SUPPORT. IN RECENT YEARS THROUGH PARTNERING WITH OTHER YOUTH SERVING ORGANIZATIONS, WE HAVE EXPANDED OUR SERVICE TO SPECIALIZED VULNERABLE POPULATIONS INCLUDING YOUTH EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS, YOUTH IN THE LGBTQ+ COMMUNITY, AND YOUTH AFTER HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION. MENTORSHIP HELPS YOUTH THRIVE IN OUR COMMUNITY, MAKING IT STRONGER FOR ALL.

The first 25 listed. 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.

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.

Related organizations

From Schedule R Part II, where a filer lists the tax-exempt organizations it is related to by control. It does not record shared board members or money.

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.
