Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

THE MISSION OF THE ORGANIZATION IS TO PROTECT CHILDREN FROM UNDETECTED VISION IMPAIRMENT AND PREVENTABLE BLINDNESS BY ESTABLISHING OUR COUNTRY'S FIRST NATIONWIDE VISION SCREENING PROGRAM.OUR VISION IS TO SERVE AS A CATALYST FOR A DRAMATIC IMPROVEMENT IN ACCESSIBILITY AND STANDARDIZATION OF VISION SCREENINGS TO SUPPORT DETECTION OF THE MOST PREVALENT AND SEVERE VISION DISORDERS. VISIONQUEST 20/20'S GOAL IS NOT TO PERFORM VISION SCREENINGS. INSTEAD, OUR VISION IS TO INTEGRATE INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY INTO THE EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE OF SCHOOL SYSTEMS, GOVERNMENT HEALTH PROGRAMS AND OTHER NON-PROFIT VISION ORGANIZATIONS TO HELP BUILD THEIR CAPACITY TO CONDUCT VISION SCREENINGS SO THAT EVERY CHILD IS SCREENED ANNUALLY.

Activities or mission (Part I)

TO PROTECT CHILDREN FROM UNDETECTED VISION IMPAIRMENT AND PREVENTABLE BLINDNESS BY ESTABLISHING OUR COUNTRY'S FIRST NATIONWIDE VISION SCREENING PROGRAM.

  • SINCE 2017, VISIONQUEST 20/20 HAS CONTINUED TO OPERATE FOLLOWING A SUBSTANTIAL REDUCTION IN STAFF PERSONNEL INCLUDING CONSULTANTS AND VOLUNTEER ENGAGEMENT. VISIONQUEST 20/20 CONTINUES TO HAVE NO PAID STAFF AND RICHARD TIRENDI IS STILL VOLUNTEERING AS THE CEO.GIVEN THE ON-GOING LIMITATION IN PERSONNEL, VISIONQUEST 20/20 EXPENDED MOST FISCAL RESOURCES ON PROGRAM SUPPORT AND NOT ON FUND DEVELOPMENT. M & G EXPENDITURES WERE MINIMIZED AS WELL.IN 2024, 32,798 CHILDREN WERE PROVIDED VISION SCREENINGS USING THE TECHNOLOGY PROVIDED BY VISIONQUEST 20/20 AT 184 SCHOOLS IN ARIZONA, WISCONSIN, CALIFORNIA, ILLINOIS, FLORIDA, NEW HAMPSHIRE, NEW JERSEY, TEXAS, AND NEW MEXICO. THE AGES OF THE CHILDREN SERVED RANGED FROM 18 MONTHS TO 18 YEARS WITH MAJORITY BETWEEN AGES OF 5 YEARS AND 18 YEARS. OF ALL CHILDREN SCREENED, 9,019 WERE REFERRED FOR FOLLOW UP FROM AN EYE CARE PROFESSIONAL. AVERAGE TESTING DURATION OF 1 MINUTES AND 53 SECONDS PER CHILD.THIS REPRESENTS A ~5% DECREASE IN CHILDREN SERVED YEAR OVER YEAR. WE ARE EXPANDING THE PROGRAM'S AVAILABILITY SUBSTANTIALLY AND THEREFORE EXPECT TO SERVE CONSIDERABLY MORE CHILDREN IN 2025.EYESPY 20/20 VISION SCREENING SOFTWARE DETECTS DISTANT VISUAL ACUITY, DEPTH PERCEPTION AND COLOR BLINDNESS AND OFFERS ABILITY TO MANUALLY ENTER NEAR VISUAL ACUITY SCREENING RESULTS FOR CONSIDERATION WHEN REFERRING CHILDREN FOR PROFESSIONAL FOLLOW UP. EYESPY 20/20 CAN BE CONFIGURED TO PROVIDE THRESHOLD OR CRITICAL LINE VISUAL ACUITY SCREENING AT DISTANCE. EYESPY 20/20 ALSO INTEGRATES WITH, AND COLLECTS DATA FROM, OBJECTIVE, INSTRUMENT-BASED VISION SCREENING DEVICES. THIS INTEGRATION AFFORDS SCHOOLS THE ABILITY TO USE A COMBINATION OF METHODS TO DETERMINE WHICH STUDENTS NEED PROFESSIONAL EVALUATION.

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. 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

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.

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.
