Activities or mission (Part I)

REDLANDS CHRISTIAN MIGRANT ASSOCIATION, IN. (RCMA) WAS INCORPORATED AS A NON-PROFIT CORPORATION UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA, FOR THE PURPOSE OF ADMINISTERING DAY CARE CENTERS AND EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION CENTERS FOR CHILDREN OF MIGRANTS AND OTHER RURAL POOR. RCMA ACHIEVES ITS PURPOSE THROUGH A VARIETY OF PROGAMS FUNDED SUBSTANTIALLY BY STATE AND FEDERAL GRANTS AND INDIVIDUAL CONTRIBUTORS.

RCMA'S INCLUSION OF CHILDREN WITH DISABILITIES, BEGINNING WITH INFANTS AND TODDLERS, HAS BEEN RECOGNIZED AS A MODEL WITHIN FLORIDA.RCMA, THE LARGEST NON-PROFIT PROVIDER OF CHILD-CARE SERVICES IN FLORIDA, ACROSS 18 COUNTIES. LIKE OTHER CHILDREN RCMA SERVES, MOST OF THOSE ENROLLED SPEAK ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE, IF AT ALL.WITH A MISSION OF HIRING STAFF AND TEACHERS FROM THE COMMUNITIES SERVED, RCMA ALREADY EMPLOYS A MAJORITY OF BILINGUAL STAFFERS. MANY OF OUR EMPLOYEES ARE FORMER MIGRANT FARM WORKERS WHO ACQUIRED THEIR CHILDDEVELOPMENT CREDENTIALS, FAMILY DEVELOPMENT CREDENTIALS, ASSOCIATE'S DEGREES OR BACHELOR'S DEGREES AFTER JOINING RCMA. SERVING A LARGE MIGRANT POPULATION, PLUS OTHER YEAR-ROUND FARM AND LOW-INCOME FAMILIES, RCMA OFFERS THE 540-HOUR VPK PROGRAM OPTION DURING THE ACADEMIC YEAR.THIS WAY, EVEN THOUGH SOME CHILDREN ARRIVE LATE AND LEAVE EARLY, THEY STILL RECEIVE THE REQUIRED COURSEWORK, WHICH IS ESSENTIAL TO THEIR SUCCESS LATER IN KINDERGARTEN AND ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.WE HAVE STRONG PARTNERSHIPS WITH HEAD START, FLORIDA'S OFFICE OF EARLY LEARNING, LOCAL EARLY LEARNING COALITIONS, THE MEXICAN CONSULATES IN ORLANDO AND MIAMI, FLORIDA AGRICULTURE, COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS AND SCHOOL DISTRICTS.MORE THAN HALF OF RCMA'S CHILDCARE CENTERS HAVE BEEN NATIONALLY ACCREDITED, REFLECTING STANDARDS AND ACHIEVEMENTS THAT EXCEED STATE LICENSING REQUIREMENTS.

THE SCHOOLS PROVIDE A SEAMLESS TRANSITION FOR CHILDREN AS THEY PROGRESSFROM RCMA'S EARLY CHILDHOOD AND PRE-KINDERGARTEN PROGRAMS INTO ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AND MIDDLE SCHOOL IN HILLSBOROUGH AND COLLIER COUNTIES.

WHEN ONE CONSIDERS THAT MANY OF OUR STUDENTS ARE TESTED IN THEIR SECOND LANGUAGE, THEIR ACCOMPLISHMENTS ARE QUITE IMPRESSIVE.THE ACADEMIC FOCUS IS THE IMPROVEMENT OF LANGUAGE AND MATH USING A THEMATIC AND INTEGRATIVE APPROACH, WHICH IMMERSES STUDENTS IN AN ENRICHED ENVIRONMENT THAT REFLECTS THE COMPLEXITIES OF LIFE. THE RESULTS INCLUDE IMPROVED LANGUAGE, ACADEMICS AND LITERACY, INCREASED SELF-ESTEEM AND DESIRABLE SOCIAL SKILLS.THE WIMAUMA COMMUNITY ACADEMY (KINDERGARTEN THROUGH FIFTH) AND THE IMMOKALEE COMMUNITY ACADEMY (KINDERGARTEN THROUGH SIXTH GRADE) WERE ORIGINALLY CHARTERED IN 2000.

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.

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

The 10 largest by cash amount. The API serves every itemized grant.

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.
