Mission and programs · 2025

Mission

TO IMPROVE LIVES IN RUTHERFORD COUNTY FOR ADULTS AND CHILDREN BY OFFERING FREE LITERACY PROGRAMS AND EVENTS.

Activities or mission (Part I)

TO IMPROVE LIVES IN RUTHERFORD COUNTY FOR CHILDREN AND ADULTS THROUGH FREE LITERACY PROGRAMS AND EVENTS.

  • ADULT LITERACY ONE-ON-ONE PROGRAM WORKS WITH ANYONE 18 YEARS OR OLDER ON ANY LITERACY GOAL THEY WANT TO WORK ON. MANY OF OUR LEARNERS ARE WORKING TOWARDS A GED/HI-SET, BUT OTHER LEARNERS ARE WORKING ON FINANCIAL LITERACY, WRITING SKILLS, INTERVIEWING AND RESUME WRITING, DRIVER'S LICENSE AND MILITARY TESTING, ETC. DURING THE YEAR ENDING JUNE 30, 2026, WE TRAINED OVER 542 LEARNERS IN OUR ADULT LITERACY ONE-ON-ONE PROGRAM.

    Expenses $49,337

  • ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE PROGRAM SERVED OVER 518 STUDENTS DURING THE YEAR ENDING JUNE 30, 2026. THESE STUDENTS WORK TO IMPROVE READING, WRITING AND SPEAKING ENGLISH. THREE DIFFERENT LEVELS OF INSTRUCTION WERE AVAILABLE TO STUDENTS DURING THE YEAR ENDING JUNE 30, 2026, TEACHING OVER 27 DIFFERENT LANGUAGES. DAY AND EVENING CLASSES WERE PROVIDED.

    Expenses $49,232

  • YOUTH & FAMILY LITERACY PROGRAMMING IS HELD IN MURFREESBORO CITY AND RUTHERFORD COUNTY TITLE 1 SCHOOLS AND THIS PROGRAM IS A PARTNERSHIP WITH MIDDLE TENNESSEE STATE UNIVERSITY, LIPSCOMB AND TREVECCA'S EDUCATION DEPARTMENT. THE KNOWLEDGE SHARING WITH STUDENTS DURING THESE PROGRAMS ALLOWS THEM TO GET BACK ON GRADE LEVEL AND PROVIDES THEIR PARENTS WITH STRATEGIES THAT THEY CAN USE AT HOME. THE PARENTS ARE ALSO GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO SIGN UP FOR OUR ADULT LITERACY PROGRAMS DURING THESE EVENTS.FAMILY LITERACY ALSO HAS A PROGRAM FOR PRE-SCHOOL STUDENTS TO PREPARE THEM TO BE KINDERGARTEN READY. OUR IMAGINATION STATIONS ARE HELD IN LOW-INCOME AREAS AND AGAIN THE CHILDREN AND PARENTS LEARN ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF READING. AT ALL OF OUR FAMILY LITERACY EVENTS, THE CHILDREN GO HOME WITH THE BOOK THAT WAS STUDIED. FOR MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS WE HAVE STARTED ADULT BOOK CLUBS WHERE STUDENTS READ CONTEMPORARY YOUNG ADULT FICTION WITH THEMES THAT STUDENTS TODAY FIND RELATABLE TO THEIR OWN EXPERIENCES. STUDENTS FACILITATE THE DISCUSSIONS AROUND PLOT, CHARACTER AND LIFE. THIS PROGRAM FOSTERS A SENSE OF COMMUNITY AND A SHARED EXPERIENCE FOR THE STUDENTS.

    Expenses $65,889

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.

The four totals the IRS asks for on Part I of the Form 990, as filed. A dash means the figure was not present on the return — not that it was zero.

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.

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

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.

What this page reflects

The registration facts above come from the IRS Business Master File published 9 November 2026 and read 9 November 2026, for every organization at once. Returns through tax year 2025, the newest we have parsed for this organization.
