Mission and programs · 2025
Mission
Back to Basics has been enriching the lives of underprivileged elementary school aged children in Palm Beach County for over 40 year. Our mission is to enable children to attend school with Dignity and be ready to learn, by providing NEW Uniforms, Sneakers, Socks and Underwear for children in need.
Activities or mission (Part I)
The mission of Back to Basics is to enable children to attend school with Dignity and be ready to learn, by providing NEW Uniforms, Sneakers, Socks and Underwear for children in need.

The Back to Basics Uniform Program provides over 20,000 new school uniforms to elementary and middle school students identified by school administrators as experiencing financial instability or homelessness - circumstances that often contribute to chronic absenteeism. A clean, well-fitting uniform can determine whether a child attends school or stays home out of embarrassment. Teachers consistently report that students who receive uniforms return to class more engaged, more confident, and more willing to participate. In 2025, we provide 22,000 uniforms tops and bottoms to students across 60 schools and 5 outreach programs in Palm Beach County, ensuring children start the school year prepared, confident, and able to focus on learning. These schools serve some of the highest-need student populations in the county, with free/reduced lunch enrollment rates exceeding 70. The Uniform Program is supported primarily

The Back to Basics Angel Program continues to provide the Basics that children need to attend school - NEW Sneakers, Socks, Underwear - and because the program centers around the holidays, we also include a toy in each Angel Gift Bag. For many children, these may be the only gifts they receive. In 2025, we delivered 10,764 Angel gifts, restoring dignity, boosting self-esteem, and helping children return to school after winter break with renewed confidence. The Angel Program relies heavily on community participation from businesses, churches, organizations, and individuals who adopt children each year. Last year, the community adopted over 7,100 children, while Back to Basics provided gifts for the remaining 3,700 children with support from local foundations, which ensure that every child referred to us receives these essential items.
Expenses $483,751

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.
Grants made

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.
