Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

The mission of The Glades Initiative is to improve the coordination and effectiveness of the health and human service delivery system in the Glades area of Palm Beach County.

  • The work of the Glades Initiative targets both service providers and residents of the Glades communities by investigating service delivery barriers to health and human services, developing strategies to overcome those obstacles and implementing effective strategies. Some of our services target providers through increased collaboration and communication, such as culturally appropriate trainings, medical interpreter training, networking meetings for identified needs, the Glades Area Resource Guide, Glades Community Updates, a weekly email communication, web-based community calendar and advocacy, while other services benefit residents directly, through our bilingual Community Resource Educators, who assist residents, with limited English, low literacy, and limited or no access to computers in receiving services. Glades Initiative expects to increase access to services and information, reduce the barriers to health and human services, impact more effective service provision, and increase services to residents, resulting in a healthier more productive community. For more detailed program information see attached Schedule O.

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.

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.
