Mission and programs · 2024

• OUR TAKE STOCK IN CHILDREN (TSIC) PROGRAM IS A LONG-TERM INITIATIVE THAT PAIRS LOW-INCOME STUDENTS WITH CARING MENTORS, COLLEGE SUCCESS COACHES AND GIVES THEM A COMMITMENT OF A COLLEGE SCHOLARSHIP. STUDENTS ENTER THE PROGRAM BETWEEN THE GRADES OF 6-9 AND WE CONTINUE TO SUPPORT THEM THROUGH THEIR HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION. STUDENTS MUST MAINTAIN AT LEAST A 'C' AVERAGE IN ALL CLASSES, MEET REGULARLY WITH THEIR MENTOR, REMAIN DRUG AND CRIME-FREE, ATTEND COLLEGE SUCCESS PLANNING MEETINGS, AND GRADUATE FROM HIGH SCHOOL. WE PROVIDE RESOURCES AND SUPPORT FROM THE TIME STUDENTS ENTER THE PROGRAM THROUGH THEIR POSTSECONDARY ATTAINMENT, SERVING APPROXIMATELY 1,100 STUDENTS ANNUALLY. SINCE ITS INCEPTION, TSIC HAS MAINTAINED A HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION RATE OF 96% OR HIGHER. IN THE 24-25 SCHOOL YEAR, TSIC HAD A 99% GRADUATION RATE.

  Expenses $2,976,622 · Grants $1,713,512

• WE AWARDED OVER 200 SCHOLARSHIPS ENTRUSTED TO US BY THE COMMUNITY TO AWARD GRADUATING HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS.

SCHOLARSHIPS CAN BE EITHER ONE-TIME AWARDS OR RENEWABLE FOR STUDENTS WHO CONTINUE TO MEET QUALIFICATIONS THROUGHOUT THEIR POST-SECONDARY EDUCATION. STUDENTS MUST BE ENROLLED AS SENIORS IN PINELLAS COUNTY SCHOOLS, AND THESE SCHOLARSHIPS ARE SEPARATE FROM OUR TAKE STOCK IN CHILDREN MENTORING PROGRAM SCHOLARSHIPS.

• WE STRATEGICALLY FOCUS ON LITERACY ACHIEVEMENT BECAUSE RESEARCH CONSISTENTLY SHOWS THAT READING AT GRADE LEVEL BY THIRD GRADE IS A STRONG PREDICTOR OF A STUDENT'S LONG-TERM ACADEMIC SUCCESS, LAYING A SOLID FOUNDATION FOR THEIR ENTIRE EDUCATIONAL JOURNEY. WE HAVE TWO KEY PROGRAMS COMMITTED TO IMPROVING LITERACY OUTCOMES: THE PINELLAS EARLY LITERACY INITIATIVE (PELI) AND CLOSING THE GAP. PELI FOCUSES ON INCREASING PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND COACHING FOR PRE-K THROUGH 2ND-GRADE TEACHERS. NOW ENTERING ITS FIFTH YEAR IN OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT, PELI AIMS TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS READING AT GRADE LEVEL BY THIRD GRADE THROUGH TARGETED PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND COACHING. SINCE THE START OF THIS PROGRAM, 94% OF PARTICIPATING PELI SCHOOLS HAD SIGNIFICANT GAINS IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS PROFICIENCY. THIS PAST YEAR, 350 TEACHERS PARTICIPATED IN PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT FOCUSED ON LITERACY AND IMPROVING INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGIES. CLOSING THE GAP ADDRESSES THE GENDER ACHIEVEMENT GAP IN LITERACY WITHOUT OUR SCHOOLS. THIS INITIATIVE PROVIDES PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT FOR TEACHERS AND ADMINISTRATORS, EQUIPPING THEM WITH RESEARCH-BASED PRACTICES TO HELP MALE STUDENTS IMPROVE THEIR FOCUS AND COMPREHENSION. THIS PAST YEAR, WE HAD 9 SCHOOLS CLOSE THE GENDER ACHIEVEMENT LITERACY GAP.

  Expenses $763,868 · Grants $657,695

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. 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.
