Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

THE ORGANIZATIONS MISSION IS TO ADVANCE SCHOLARSHIP AND LEADERSHIP, TO ENABLE ALL SHAWNEE MISSION STUDENTS TO ACHIEVE THEIR POTENTIAL.

  • We make grants to the Shawnee Mission School District USD 512 in collaboration with district curriculum leaders to fund program enhancements and growth. Examples include district programs in the arts, early childhood education and STEM. Excellence in Education grants fund individual classroom or districtwide projects to enhance innovative learning in the classroom. A new partnership with Dolly Partons Imagination Library brings age-appropriate books free to any child residing within the border of the District each month from birth to age 5. Since its inception in 2022, we have provided more than 155,000 books to preschool children.We host Leadership Shawnee Mission, an intensive, 2-week leadership program for incoming juniors and seniors which includes leadership training and professional experiences. We also partner with the District to engage students in Real World Learning experiences by making connections with partners in business and industry to offer students internships, client connected projects and entrepreneurial experiences.

  • Scholarship Programs - We award scholarships to students and graduates in the District. In the year ended June 30, 2025, scholarships were made to 5 graduating students from three scholarship funds designated for post-secondary education. In addition, fees were paid for 10 current students for enrichment programs. Our Scholarship Shawnee Mission program brought scholarship opportunities to all district 11th and 12th grade students. More than 80 colleges and universities offered Shawnee Mission students more than 7.7 billion in scholarship offers.

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.

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 11 November 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.
