SEE SCHEDULE O

Activities or mission (Part I)

PRATHAM USA'S PRIMARY OBJECTIVES ARE (i) raising funds to support learning, (ii) increasing awareness about the challenges facing students and equitable approaches to improving learning outcomes at scale, (CONTINUED ON SCHEDULE O)

  • Pratham's education programs support children from early childhood through secondary school, with a strong emphasis on foundational learning. Proven approaches such as Teaching at the Right Level (TaRL) helps children acquire essential reading and math skills, while early year programs focus on school readiness and foundational development. Pratham operates both in schools and communities and works closely with state governments to implement and scale programs. Engagement with families, especially mothers and local youth ensures learning continues beyond the classroom. Through direct implementation and partnerships, Pratham reaches millions of children each year across India.

    Expenses $8,695,000 · Grants $8,694,847

  • Pratham leverages digital tools to expand access to learning and skill-building. From mobile-based content to virtual skilling platforms, technology is integrated across programs to enhance reach, engagement, and effectiveness. The organization develops student-focused, regionally adaptable content and uses real-time data to guide implementation and improvement. Community-level digital champions such as youth volunteers and "smart mothers" play a key role in facilitating digital learning. Technology also supports Pratham's efforts in measurement, training, and system strengthening.

    Expenses $2,192,879 · Grants $1,980,000

  • Pratham's vocational training programs equip India's youth (ages 18-35) with technical, life, and employability skills to prepare them for work and entrepreneurship. The program offers a tiered skilling model blending self-learning, virtual instruction, and hands-on practical training across multiple trades. It includes employment-linked courses, Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) for informal workers, and support for micro-enterprise development. Pratham also trains youth volunteers and links young women to livelihoods in their local communities. These programs are active in both physical centers and through community-based outreach across India. LINE 4D, Program Service Amounts raised for PCVC, Civil, and other programs, and for general operating support of Pratham Education Foundation Pratham International, through its flagship initiative Teaching at the Right Level (TaRL), supports governments and local partners in designing and scaling effective foundational learning programs in nearly 30 countries, reaching over 7 million children across Sub-Saharan Africa and more than 1 million learners in Latin America and the Middle East and North Africa, with growing engagement in Southeast Asia.

The first 25 listed. 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 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.
