Mission and programs · 2024

• THE LUMEN AWARDS, THE STUDENT LIGHTING COMPETITION, AND OUR MONTHLY EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS ENCOMPASS THE LARGEST AMOUNT OF EFFORTS. MANY OF THESE REQUIRE LITTLE ATTENTION OTHER THAN WHEN THE EVENT DATE DRAWS NEAR. IF SPREAD OVER A 52 WEEK, MANY OF THE VOLUNTEERS FELT THAT IT WAS NO MORE THAN A 3 HOUR A WEEK COMMITMENT. THE BOARD OF MANAGERS TIME COMMITMENT RANGES FROM 8 HOURS A MONTH TO SOMEWHERE AROUND 8 HOURS PER MONTH SPREAD OUT ANNUALLY.

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.
