Mission

Empowering adults to achieve literacy and improve their quality of life.

  • Established in 1982, Literacy Volunteers of Maricopa County, Inc., (LVMC), a 501(c)(3) community-based organization, provides free educational services to adults, 16 years of age or older, who desire to learn to read, obtain the High School Equivalency (HSE) diploma by preparing them for the General Educational Development (GED) exam, or communicate in English. LVMC utilizes contextualized educational materials to help adults become literate, acquire soft skills and employability skills, attain an HSE and help immigrants and other adults who are English language learners improve their English and math skills as well as their understanding of the American system of government. LVMC desires to help adults attain employment and economic self-sufficiency, successfully participate in the educational development of their children, transition into postsecondary education and job skills training, and fully integrate and participate in our society. The organization is a member of ProLiteracy.LVMC has a proven track record of assisting basic skills deficient adults, increasing peoples literacy skills, facilitating the attainment of an HSE diploma, and helping immigrants and other individuals who are English language learners to improve their skills and understanding of English, math, and civics. Our programs are open-enrollment whereby a participant can start anytime; classes are offered in-person at our Learning Centers, virtually/online, or hybrid flexible (HyFlex) allowing participants to attend in-person sometimes and online other times. To increase learning at a faster pace, we provide all participants access to web-based learning software that can be accessed at our Learning Centers computer labs or remotely from their own devices.

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.

The four totals the IRS asks for on Part I of the Form 990, as filed. A dash means the figure was not present on the return — not that it was zero.

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

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

The registration facts above come from the IRS Business Master File published 13 October 2026 and read 1 November 2026, for every organization at once. Returns through tax year 2024, the newest we have parsed for this organization.
