THE CENTRAL INITIATIVE OF THIS PROGRAM IS ROUTES TO READY, WHICH USES NAVIGATORS, CHILD DEVELOPMENT SPECIALISTS, AND NURSES IN HEALTH CARE AND COMMUNITY SETTINGS TO UNIVERSALLY REACH, ASSESS, AND CONNECT FAMILIES TO COMMUNITY RESOURCES. ROUTES TO READY: IN THIS MULTI-ORGANIZATION COLLABORATION, NON-MEDICAL STAFF WORK IN HEALTHCARE SETTINGS, LIKE OBSTETRICIANS AND PEDIATRICIANS' OFFICES, AND NURSE HOME VISITORS WORK IN BROADER COMMUNITY SPACES TO REACH AND ASSESS FAMILIES. THEY HELP IDENTIFY NEEDS (INCLUDING SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH) AND DIRECT FAMILIES TO THE APPROPRIATE LOCAL RESOURCES, SUCH AS PARENTING SUPPORT, EARLY INTERVENTION PROGRAMS, AND FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. ALL OF THESE PARTNERS ALSO PROVIDE DIRECT EDUCATION, INFORMATION, AND SUPPORT TO VARYING DEGREES. ACROSS ROUTES TO READY PARTNERS, 86% OF FAMILIES WITH IDENTIFIED NEEDS WITH A KNOWN REFERRAL STATUS HAVE RECEIVED AT LEAST ONE SECURED REFERRAL (MEANING THEY HAVE RECEIVED THE SERVICE).INTEGRATED DATA SYSTEM (IDS): THE IDS SUPPORTS ROUTES TO READY BY USING TECHNOLOGY TO GATHER, TRACK, AND ANALYZE DATA ACROSS PROGRAMS (WITH CONSENT OF THE CLIENT OR PARENT/GUARDIAN). THE IDS HELPS LEADERS AT BOTH THE COLLABORATIVE AND COMMUNITY LEVELS MAKE INFORMED DECISIONS, RESULTING IN IMPROVED SERVICE DELIVERY ACROSS ROUTES TO READY PARTNERS FOR INDIVIDUAL FAMILIES AND IMPROVED SYSTEM FUNCTION FOR FAMILIES ACROSS THE COMMUNITY. THIS INCLUDES HELPING COMMUNITY LEADERS IDENTIFY AND FILL RESOURCE GAPS. 3 OF 4 ROUTES TO READY PARTNERS HAVE ALREADY BEEN ONBOARDED TO THE IDS.

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.

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 SO.

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.
