Mission and programs · 2025

• THE GETTING AHEAD PROGRAM IS A UNIQUE, TRANSFORMATIONAL 8 TO 9-WEEK COURSE DESIGNED TO EMPOWER LOWER-INCOME INDIVIDUALS. MORE THAN 95% OF OUR PARTICIPANTS EARN LESS THAN 200% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL. WE INTENTIONALLY RECRUIT AND SERVE PEOPLE WHO ARE UNDER-RESOURCED AND NAVIGATING BARRIERS RELATED TO POVERTY, EMPLOYMENT, AND STABILITY. THE CURRICULUM HELPS PARTICIPANTS EXPLORE AND STRENGTHEN THEIR SOCIAL CAPITAL WHILE BUILDING ESSENTIAL SOFT SKILLS, INCLUDING PROBLEM-SOLVING, TIME MANAGEMENT, GOAL SETTING, NEGOTIATION AND MEDIATION, PROFESSIONAL COMMUNICATION, EMOTIONAL REGULATION, AND BASIC FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT.ANNUALLY, WE GRADUATE BETWEEN 300 TO 400 PARTICIPANTS. ON AVERAGE, GRADUATES SEE A $1,500 MONTHLY INCOME INCREASE, A 50% REDUCTION IN THEIR DEBT-TO-INCOME RATIO, AND AN $8,000 ANNUAL INCREASE IN ASSETS. THROUGH OUR PROGRAMMING, WE ARE NOT ONLY CREATING A SAFER, HEALTHIER, AND MORE PRODUCTIVE OMAHA METRO AREA - WE ARE RESTORING HOPE AND OPENING DOORS TO A BETTER FUTURE.

  Expenses $889,128 · Revenue $30,539

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.
