Mission and programs · 2024

• STUDENT PROGRAMMING AND ASSISTANCE: SANTA MONICA COLLEGE'S STUDENT SERVICES PROGRAMS PROVIDE ONGOING EDUCATIONAL AND COUNSELING SUPPORT TO ITS STUDENTS. FROM THE VETERANS' RESOURCE CENTER, BLACK COLLEGIANS PROGRAM, AND LATINO CENTER TO THE CENTER FOR STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES, GUARDIAN SCHOLARS, AND ATHLETICS TEAMS, THE FOUNDATION FUNDRAISES AND SUPPORTS THE COLLECTIVE EFFORTS TO ADVANCE THE PROGRAMS. ADDITIONALLY, THE FOUNDATION RAISES FUNDING TO ADVANCE ANNUAL PROGRAMS TO INCREASE ENROLLMENT (SMC FOUNDATION MEAL PROJECT), AND ACKNOWLEDGE OUTSTANDING ACHIEVEMENTS (PUBLIC POLICY SYMPOSIUMS). FURTHER, EMERGENCY RELIEF FOR STUDENTS AND STAFF EXPERIENCING UNFORESEEN HARDSHIP DURING THE LA FIRES WAS PROVIDED BY THE FOUNDATION'S ABILITY TO SECURE FUNDS.

As filed on the 2024 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

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.

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.
