Activities or mission (Part I)

ReadyKids promotes kids' well-being through counseling, family support, and early learning opportunities. For over 100 years, we have served Charlottesville and the five surrounding counties with programs and services that respond to the changing needs of kids and families. In FY25, we impacted more than 5,300 kids, parents, and caregivers through our seven programs, and 94.6% of participants met targeted outcomes. ReadyKids uses an accrual based accounting system, which recognizes multi-year gifts in the years they were received. The current year financials reflect an environment where two multi year gifts were expiring simultaneously, resulting in a small deficit. This is offset by corresponding surpluses in prior years where the gifts were recognized. Over the last 5 years, ReadyKids has run a small surplus of roughly $128,000. This reflects our commitment to using gifts a presented, and managing finances and staffing correctly.

  • Early Learning Programs: ReadySteps encourages parents as a child's first and best teacher through early learning playgroups in neighborhoods and around Charlottesville. STAR Kids teaches preschool-age kids to develop self-regulation and problem solving skills to make healthy choices and avoid risky behaviors.

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. 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.
