Mission and programs · 2024

• Our program is conducted through school chapters (clubs.) Guided by a trained teacher who volunteers to serve as a Chapter Advisor, students complete our curriculum and program activities over the course of a school year. Students learn the history behind military conflicts from World War II to the War on Terror, videography and photography basics; and communication skills in preparation to interview a veteran. The recorded oral history video interview is preserved in the Library of Congress. Students write, edit, and publish the veterans stories in a student produced hard-bound book, Since You Asked. Schools collaborate to plan and host community events at the end of the school year to honor their veterans and present the completed work with a book signing open to the public. Participating students and veterans each receive a free book, and additional copies are available for sale. The books are also donated to the Library of Congress. Additional enrichment activities include Veterans Day events, veteran classroom presentations or school assemblies, and scholarships.Program Outcomes-3 editions of published veteran stories-245 veteran legacies preserved-7 book receptions-3,700+ students educated by 33 veteran presentations-41 civic engagement activities-23 scholarships totaling $108,475 awardedGraduating Student Outcomes-83% developed ongoing mentoring relationships with veterans-95% improved writing; 97% improved listening-90%+ reported higher leadership, collaboration, and critical thinking skills-95% increased understanding of civic responsibility-100% have appreciation for servicesVeteran Outcomes-82% found the interview experience cathartic or healing-27% shared their story for the first time-100% would recommend participation to another veteran-97% rated the quality of the final publication as Exceeded Expectations-92% rated the book signing as Exceeded Expectations

• Imprints of Honor awards eight scholarships to high school seniors who have been active in a school Chapter for a minimum of two years. Students must have a teacher recommendation and compete via essay contests, where they describe how veterans have impacted their character and encouraged their future, or how they have been of service to their school chapter and veteran community. The awards include a commemorative medal, a one-time $1000, $1500, $2000, $2500 or $3000 scholarship payable to the student; and one $17,500 renewable award up to four years, credited to the student's account at their selected institute of higher learning. Each scholarship is presented at our culminating program activity, the Annual Community Reception and Book Signing. We also partner with the Arizona Veterans Hall of Fame Society (AVHOFS), who provides three additional scholarships for our students. These awards are presented directly to the students at AVHOFSs annual Patriotic Luncheon. We purchase a table for $500 to attend the event with the students, and their families and teachers.This year, nine additional honorable mention scholarships were awarded as a one-time gift, based on the generosity of a scholarship reviewer who wanted all submitted essays to be recognized, because I was overwhelmed by the quality of their writing, the content that each shared, and the impact Imprints of Honor had on their young lives.

• Students have the option to learn Adobe InDesign and Photoshop through our technology platform and in-person workshops, to layout the veteran stories for publication in our hardbound book titled Since You Asked. Similar to a yearbook class, our staff hold work days at our office and will visit high schools to offer guidance as the students complete the layout process. Student interviewers and their interviewed veterans each receive a free book, and additional copies are available for sale to the public.

  Expenses $41,201

• Schools collaborate regionally to plan community events, typically held in April or May, to honor their veterans and present the completed work. The free public events include student emcees and statements, a veteran keynote, student scholarship awards, and a veteran book signing where attendees have an opportunity to interact with the veterans.

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. 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.
