Mission and programs · 2025

Mission

WE HELP OTHERS BE THE CHANGE THEY WANT TO SEE IN THE WORLD. WE WORK WITH SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURS AND SMALL ORGANIZATIONS TO HELP THEM ACHIEVE THEIR GOALS AND OBJECTIVES. WE PROVIDE COUNSEL AND RESOURCES TO HELP INDIVIDUALS AND ORGANIZATIONS PLAN, BUILD AND EXECUTE ON THEIR VISION.

Activities or mission (Part I)

TO IGNITE AND SUPPORT CHARITABLE PROJECTS, OUR CORE CAUSES, WHICH ADDRESS SOCIETAL NEEDS, BUILD COMMUNITY, AND ENABLE POSITIVE CHANGE.

  • SMILES FROM SARAH STRIVES TO BRING SMILES AND HEALING TO CHILDREN BY EXPANDING THE IMPACT AND REACH OF CHILD LIFE PROGRAMS AND THERAPEUTIC PLAY IN HOSPITALS. THERAPEUTIC PLAY SERVES A VITAL FUNCTION IN CHILDREN'S MEDICAL CARE, ALLOWING CHILD LIFE SPECIALISTS TO GIVE CHILDREN TOOLS TO DEVELOP, COPE, AND COMMUNICATE WHEN CONFRONTED WITH ILLNESS, INJURY, OR DISABILITY. IT CAN BE THE BANDAGE TO BIND A BROKEN SPIRIT OR THE PILL TO ALLEVIATE ANXIETY AND PAIN. CONTRIBUTIONS ALLOW US TO PROVIDE BOTH DIRECT FUNDING IN SUPPORT OF OUR MISSION AND COUNTLESS THERAPEUTIC PLAY KITS TO MAJOR HOSPITAL CENTERS.

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.

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.
