Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

Zeno's mission is to spark joy and inspire a love of math in young children and families through racial equity, family engagement, and play, all centered in the experiences of communities of color.

Activities or mission (Part I)

Zeno envisions a racially just world where every child and family are a doer and lover of math. Zeno partners with community organizations to deliver play-based and family-focused math programs which leverage the parenting adults role as a childs first teacher. More than an academic subject, math is a life skill. From comparing prices in the grocery store, to many of the jobs of the future, one cant achieve leading a full life without basic math skills. Zeno wants to ensure that every child has this chance, especially children of color.

  • Zeno has an established track record of working in a educational spaces where racial equity is THE key lever for change. We start with honoring the agency, dignity, and inherent strengths of Black Indigenous, and communities of color. By work to ensure that race is not a factor in the acquisition of math skills and the development of loving to learn.Zeno develops a love of math between and among very young children (3-5y/o), families, and early childhood providers through play and family engagement. Our work amplifies math learning and identity across race, place, linguistic, and culturally specific identities and development. We do this by:Starting EarlyMath at the highest levels of academic pursuit is more than computation. Its a language and a way of thinking, and just like language its easiest to acquire while young. Including FamiliesWe believe that parenting adults are a childs first and most influential teacher, and we know that culturally responsive engagement with families is critical when you are working with families from diverse communities.Working with PartnersZeno honors community experiences and works closely with partners that have long-standing community relationships. We know that working with community partners is the most effective and efficient approach to reach the most families. Centering Racial EquityWe all share a common duty to dismantle the racism within our institutions, policies, and beliefs that prevent our society from advancing as an equitable nation. All of our work from program and game design to our staff and board considers the impact of race, place, language, and culture.Making Math Fun Research emphasizes play because it encourages children to take an active role in their learning. Play is the work of childhood. Zeno designed games provide the inspiration and easy connection to foundational math concepts. The games create structure, focus and engagement opportunities for children with their parenting adults.Zeno developed and piloted our first Family MathWays program reaching 250 families in Seattle in 2016 and we grew to reach 4,600 families across 11 counties in Washington in our 2021-2022 program year.

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

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.
