Activities or mission (Part I)

SRA EMPOWERS STUDENTS FACING SYSTEMIC BARRIERS TO DEFINE AND FIND SUCCESS THROUGH EDUCATION, CAREER, AND IN LIFE, WITH COLLEGE COMPLETION AND WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMMING THAT SUPPORTS THEM THROUGH THEIR SENIOR YEAR OF HIGH SCHOOL, COLLEGE, AND INTO THE WORKFORCE.

  • SRA'S COLLEGE COMPLETION AND WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMMING HAS THREE ENTRY POINTS: RISING STARS, WHICH PROVIDES A ONE-ON-ONE ADVISING PROGRAM; STUDENTS ONLINE ACHIEVING RESULTS ("SOAR"), A VIRTUAL ADVISING PROGRAM; AND, THE SRA HUB, A TECHNOLOGY-BASED SOCIAL ENTERPRISE TOOL THAT PROVIDES AN ONLINE RESOURCE FOR STUDENTS AND PARTNERS NATIONWIDE. SRA'S RISING STARS PROGRAM PROVIDES COMPREHENSIVE ONE-ON-ONE ADVISING AND MENTORING, FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE, MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT, AND CAREER DEVELOPMENT GUIDANCE TO SUPPORT STUDENTS IN COLLEGE ACCESS, COMPLETION, AND WORKPLACE DEVELOPMENT. EXPERIENCED COLLEGE AND CAREER ADVISORS COLLABORATE WITH STUDENTS FROM THEIR FINAL YEAR OF HIGH SCHOOL THROUGH COLLEGE GRADUATION. (CONTINUED ON SCHEDULE O)SOAR IS SRA'S VIRTUAL, COHORT-BASED ADVISING PROGRAM DESIGNED TO INCREASE COLLEGE PERSISTANCE AND GRADUATION RATES, ALONG WITH SUPPORT TOWARDS THE PATH TO CAREER-LADDER JOBS. EACH SOAR COHORT IS MATCHED WITH A COLLEGE AND CAREER ADVISOR WHO FACILITATES THE COHORT'S MONTHLY, CURRICULUM-BASED HANGOUTS. COHORTS ARE ARRANGED BY SCHOOL YEAR, SUPPORTING HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS TRANSITIONING TO COLLEGE THROUGH FOUR YEARS OF COLLEGE TO GRADUATION. THE CURRICULUM FOSTERS PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL GROWTH THROUGH COLLABORATIVE, DISCUSSION-BASED, AND STUDENT-CENTRIC APPROACHES. SOAR PROGRAMMING IS OFFERED TO STUDENTS BOTH THROUGH COLLABORATIVE PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENTS AND ORGANIZATION-LED OUTREACH. THE SRA HUB IS A SOCIAL ENTERPRISE TOOL DESIGNED TO WIDELY SHARE SRA'S EXPERIENCE AND EXPERTISE FROM MANY YEARS OF DELIVERY OF DIRECT SERVICE PROGRAMMING IN THE LOCAL COMMUNITY. IT IS AN ONLINE PLATFORM LEVERAGING TECHNOLOGY TO REACH SECONDARY AND POST-SECONDARY STUDENTS NATIONWIDE, CREATING TRANSFORMATIVE CHANGE FOR LOW-INCOME, FIRST-GENERATION COLLEGE STUDENTS THROUGH FACILITATING A SENSE OF AGENCY AND SELF-ADVOCACY VITAL TO AN INDIVIDUAL'S SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC CAPITAL. THE RESOURCES OF THE SRA HUB ARE UTILIZED BY SRA'S RISING STARS AND SOAR ADVISING PROGRAMS AS WELL AS INDIVIDUAL STUDENTS AND OTHER EDUCATORS.

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.

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.

What this page reflects
