Mission

SEE SCHEDULE O

Activities or mission (Part I)

CASEL IS A TRUSTED SOURCE FOR KNOWLEDGE ABOUT HIGH-QUALITY, EVIDENCE-BASED SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL LEARNING (SEL). OUR MISSION IS TO HELP MAKE EVIDENCE-BASED SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL LEARNING (SEL) AN INTEGRAL PART OF EDUCATION FROM PRESCHOOL TO HIGH SCHOOL.

  • DISTRICT PARTNERSHIPS: SUPPORT HIGH-QUALITY IMPLEMENTATION: CASEL PARTNERSHIPS AND RESOURCES SUPPORT HIGH-QUALITY IMPLEMENTATION IN SCHOOLS AND DISTRICTS. IN 2011, CASEL LAUNCHED THE COLLABORATING DISTRICTS INITIATIVE (CDI), NOW CALLED COMMUNITY NETWORK PARTNERS (CNP) AS A NATIONAL PARTNERSHIP WITH URBAN, SUBURBAN, AND RURAL SCHOOL DISTRICTS ACROSS THE COUNTRY TO SUPPORT SYSTEMIC AND SUSTAINABLE HIGH-QUALITY SEL IMPLEMENTATION, AND ULTIMATELY TO NATIONAL SCALE THROUGH THE SHARING OF PRACTICAL KNOWLEDGE ABOUT SEL IMPLEMENTATION. THE CNP FOCUSED ON SEL ACROSS ALL DISTRICT, SCHOOL, AND CLASSROOM ACTIVITIES AND IN PARTNERSHIP WITH PARENTS AND COMMUNITIES. THE IMPACT OF THIS WORK IS DEMONSTRATED BY PROMISING SCHOOL AND STUDENT OUTCOMES SUCH AS IMPROVEMENTS IN ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE, STUDENT ENGAGEMENT AND BEHAVIOR, SCHOOL CLIMATE, AND SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL COMPETENCE. CASEL WORKS WITH NEARLY 40 SCHOOL DISTRICTS. IN RECENT YEARS, CASEL LAUNCHED THE SEL FELLOWS PROGRAM CULTIVATING A THRIVING COMMUNITY OF SEL LEADERS. WE SHARE LEARNINGS FROM OUR DISTRICTS BROADLY THROUGH FIELD-TESTED RESOURCES AND TOOLS. CASEL'S GROWING SUITE OF RESOURCES CONTINUES TO BE ACCESSED GLOBALLY AS A GO-TO RESOURCE FOR SEL.

    Expenses $3,872,727 · Revenue $1,273,518

  • SEL EXCHANGE: SINCE 2019, CASEL HAS HOSTED AN ANNUAL CONFERENCE ON SEL. THE SEL EXCHANGE IS A UNIQUE INTERNATIONAL FORUM FOR THOSE WHO ARE COMMITTED TO CREATING CARING, PRODUCTIVE, AND EQUITABLE SCHOOLS AND COMMUNITIES THAT DEVELOP THE WHOLE CHILD AND ENSURE THAT ALL STUDENTS CAN THRIVE. WITH DEMAND FOR SEL AT AN ALL-TIME HIGH, THE SEL EXCHANGE IS THE TIME TO COME TOGETHER, SHARE WHAT WE KNOW, AND ANCHOR OURSELVES IN ADVANCING HIGH-QUALITY RESEARCH, IMPLEMENTATION PRACTICE, AND POLICIES. CASEL HOSTED THE 2024 SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL LEARNING EXCHANGE IN CHICAGO, NOVEMBER 12-14, 2024. THE THEME WAS ACCELERATE: ACADEMIC THRIVING AND LIFELONG LEARNING, FOCUSED ON THE CONNECTION BETWEEN SEL AND ACADEMICS. MORE THAN 1,900 REGISTERED REPRESENTING MORE THAN 270 SCHOOLS, 47 U.S. STATES, AND 36 COUNTRIES. ALTOGETHER, OUR LEARNING AND WORK WILL REACH 17.7 MILLION STUDENTS.

    Expenses $2,141,129 · Revenue $2,141,049

  • STATE PARTNERSHIPS: IN 2016, CASEL LAUNCHED THE COLLABORATING STATES INITIATIVE (CSI), A COLLABORATIVE PARTNERSHIP WITH FIVE STATES ACROSS THE COUNTRY TO SUPPORT THE BROADER SCALE OF QUALITY SEL. NOW WORKING WITH MORE THAN 40 STATES REPRESENTING MORE THAN 90% OF DISTRICTS, SCHOOLS, TEACHERS, AND STUDENTS IN THE US, THERE IS POTENTIAL FOR MUCH GREATER ADOPTION NATIONWIDE. THE CSI REGULARLY CONVENES ITS COMMUNITIES OF PRACTICE TO SUPPORT PARTNER STATES. WE ALSO CONVENE EXPERT ADVISORS AND NATIONAL EDUCATION ORGANIZATIONS TO SUPPORT THIS INITIATIVE. CASEL'S COLLECTION OF 125 RESOURCES HELPS STATES CREATE HIGH-QUALITY SEL POLICIES AND GUIDELINES. RESOURCES INCLUDE TOOLS TO HELP INTEGRATE SEL WITH STATE AND DISTRICT PRIORITIES; FRAMEWORKS FOR UNDERSTANDING AND ORGANIZING SEL; GUIDANCE DOCUMENTS; AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT MODULES.

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.

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.
