Mission and programs · 2025

• THE HARDY CENTER HAS EXPERIENCED MEANINGFUL GROWTH ACROSS ALL AREAS OF OUR PROGRAM-SUPPORTING MORE STUDENTS, ENGAGING MORE FAMILIES, AND EXPANDING OUR TEAM OF DEDICATED TUTORS. OUR MISSION TO BRIDGE LEARNING GAPS HAS POSITIVELY TRANSFORMED THE ACADEMIC TRAJECTORIES OF THE CHILDREN WE SERVE. NOTABLY, 90% OF OUR STUDENTS ARE NOW PERFORMING AT OR ABOVE GRADE LEVEL. STUDENTS IN KINDERGARTEN THROUGH THIRD GRADE AVERAGED 89% IN READING ON THEIR REPORT CARDS, EXCEEDING EXPECTATIONS. ON THE READING A-Z PLATFORM, 100% OF STUDENTS MADE MEASURABLE PROGRESS TOWARD THE NEXT READING LEVEL, WITH MORE THAN 30% ADVANCING BY AT LEAST ONE LEVEL IN JUST TWO MONTHS OF FOCUSED INSTRUCTION. THIS SUCCESS IS DRIVEN BY OUR HIGH-DOSE TUTORING MODEL, DELIVERING NEARLY 300 ADDITIONAL HOURS OF ACADEMIC PRACTICE EACH YEAR. LED BY RETIRED EDUCATORS AND COLLEGE STUDENTS, THIS APPROACH ACCELERATES LEARNING, CLOSES ACHIEVEMENT GAPS, AND STRENGTHENS LITERACY. CURRICULUM PACING GUIDES ENSURE ALIGNMENT WITH ACADEMIC STANDARDS, IMPROVING STUDENT ENGAGEMENT, ATTENDANCE, AND HOMEWORK COMPLETION RATES, WHICH ARE NOW NEARING 100%. TEACHERS ALSO REPORT INCREASED CLASSROOM PARTICIPATION FROM HARDY CENTER STUDENTS. OUR IMPACT EXTENDS BEYOND ACADEMICS. MANY STUDENTS FACE PERSONAL CHALLENGES OUTSIDE OF SCHOOL, BUT AT THE HARDY CENTER, THEY FIND A SAFE AND NURTURING ENVIRONMENT WHERE THEY ARE VALUED AND SUPPORTED. EACH DAY INCLUDES A WARM MEAL, INDIVIDUALIZED TUTORING, AND A CARING COMMUNITY. OUR SUMMER PROGRAM BROADENS STUDENT EXPERIENCES WITH ENRICHMENT OPPORTUNITIES THEY MAY NOT OTHERWISE ACCESS-SUCH AS SWIMMING, KARATE, FENCING, UNICYCLING, ART, CHESS, LEGO LEARNING, AND INDUSTRIAL ARTS. EDUCATIONAL FIELD TRIPS TO PLACES LIKE COSI AND THE OHIO STATEHOUSE DEEPEN THEIR LEARNING. WE ALSO TEACH PRACTICAL LIFE SKILLS-SHOE-TYING, PENMANSHIP, TIME-TELLING, AND ETIQUETTE-FOSTERING INDEPENDENCE AND CONFIDENCE. AS WE REFLECT ON OUR PROGRESS, WE SEE THE UNDENIABLE IMPACT OF OUR MISSION IN ACTION. OUR STUDENTS ARE PROVING EVERY DAY THAT POTENTIAL IS NOT LIMITED BY ZIP CODE. WE REMAIN COMMITTED TO HELPING THEM GROW IN KNOWLEDGE, CHARACTER, AND CONFIDENCE, WHILE EXPANDING OUR STAFF, PROGRAMMING, AND COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS TO SUSTAIN AND SCALE THIS IMPACT.

  Expenses $299,338

As filed on the 2025 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

Officers and directors · 2025

As listed in Part VII of the 2025 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

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.
