Mission and programs · 2024

• HIGH SCHOOL PROGRAM AND COLLEGE SUCCESS PROGRAM: THE FOUNDATION PROVIDED POSTSECONDARY EDUCATION PLANNING TO MORE THAN 5,095 HIGH SCHOOL JUNIORS, SENIORS AND COLLEGE STUDENTS DURING 2024 AND 4,391 IN 2023. OF THOSE STUDENTS SERVED IN 2024, 3,718 FAMILIES (73%), WERE VERIFIED TO BE LOW-INCOME AND IN 2023, 3,199 (73%) WERE VERIFIED TO BE LOW-INCOME. POSTSECONDARY EDUCATION PLANNING PROGRAM: THESE PROGRAM INCLUDES SCHOOL-BASED AND VIRTUAL ADVISORY SERVICES FOR COLLEGE AND POSTSECONDARY TRAINING PREPARATION AND SUCCESS, COLLEGE APPLICATION/ TESTING FEE PAYMENTS, GUIDANCE THROUGH THE ADMISSIONS PROCESS, COLLEGE TOURS TO PROSPECTIVE CAMPUSES, AND THE LEVERAGING OF FINANCIAL AID, SCHOLARSHIPS, AND GRANTS NEEDED TO ATTEND COLLEGE OR OTHER POSTSECONDARY TRAINING. EACH HIGH SCHOOL JUNIOR AND SENIOR COMPLETES AN "ACCESS SERVICES APPLICATION" AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SCHOOL YEAR FOR OUR USE IN DETERMINING THEIR ELIGIBILITY FOR SERVICES TO RECEIVE FEE WAIVERS AND FEE PAYMENTS MADE BY ACCESS ON THEIR BEHALF. THIS APPLICATION ALSO DEFINES THEIR FAMILY'S LEVEL OF POVERTY, BASED ON FEDERAL GUIDELINES. WHEN FINANCIAL AID FORMS (FAFSAS) ARE FILED FOR THE SENIORS AND OUR COLLEGE STUDENTS, THE FAMILY SIZE AND INCOME INFORMATION ARE CAPTURED ON THE COMPLETED "FAFSA CONSULTATION FORM UPDATED IN OUR STUDENT DATABASE. THIS INFORMATION WAS USED TO VERIFY THAT 73% OF THE STUDENTS IN 2024 AND 73% OF THE STUDENTS IN 2023 BELONGED TO A FAMILY WHOSE ANNUAL HOUSEHOLD INCOME WAS NOT IN EXCESS OF 300% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES. MIDDLE SCHOOL PROGRAM: WITH OUR FOUNDATION'S PRIMARY TARGET BEING STUDENTS FROM LOW-INCOME FAMILIES WHO MAY NOT OTHERWISE HAVE ACCESS, WE BEGIN LAYING THE GROUNDWORK OF EARLY COLLEGE AWARENESS/READINESS ACTIVITIES TO MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS IN THE 7TH AND 8TH GRADES AND THEN FOLLOW THEM INTO HIGH SCHOOL IN THE 9TH AND 10TH GRADES. MUCH OF THIS WORK IS DONE IN GROUP SETTINGS AND STUDENTS IN THESE GRADE LEVELS DO NOT DISCLOSE THEIR FAMILY'S FINANCIAL INFORMATION IN ORDER TO RECEIVE SERVICES. WE DO KNOW THAT THE SCHOOLS THESE STUDENTS ATTEND HAVE A MAJORITY POPULATION RECEIVING FREE OR REDUCED LUNCH. ADDITIONALLY, WHILE OUR MISSION IS TO SERVE LOW-INCOME STUDENTS, WE KNOW THAT IN THE PROCESS OF PROVIDING POSTSECONDARY EDUCATION PLANNING TO THESE LOW-INCOME STUDENTS, OTHER STUDENTS MAY RECEIVE INFORMATION OR BENEFIT FROM ACTIVITIES PROVIDED IN GROUP SETTINGS.

As filed on the 2024 return.

Officers and directors · 2024

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

The first 25 listed. 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. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.
