More than 50 organizations in the IRS Business Master File share this street address, so they are not listed here. matched by us

We match the street line and ZIP code as the IRS gives them, ignoring case and outer spaces and nothing else, so "AVE" and "AVENUE" count as different streets and this list can miss some. A shared address can mean related organizations or a shared office, but it can also be a registered agent, a mail drop or a service provider holding mail for unrelated clients. It is not, by itself, evidence that two organizations are connected.

Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

The learning agency lab seeks to improve the effectiveness of k-16 education, especially for historically marginalized populations, by creating free or at-cost resources that are aligned to the science of learning.

Activities or mission (Part I)

The Learning Agency Lab is focused on developing science of learning-based tools and programs for the social good. We help educators, researchers and others to understand the science of learning and how students can learn how to learn better.

  • In the 2024 fiscal year, The Learning Agency Lab further expanded its efforts to advance educational technology through data-driven research, collaborative competitions, and open-access resources. Over the course of the year, the Lab completed four major competitions in the Open Data Assessment Fund (ODAF) series, each designed to develop state-of-the-art algorithmic solutions that improve teaching, assessment, and data privacy in education. These competitions not only engaged a global community of data scientists and researchers but also generated open-source tools that can be applied in real-world classroom and research settings.The Linking Writing Processes to Writing Quality competition explored how students plan, revise, and manage their time during writing. By analyzing detailed keystroke logs from thousands of student essays, participants developed models capable of predicting overall writing quality from process-level features. This work provided new insights into the underlying cognitive and behavioral aspects of writing, offering potential for more personalized and actionable feedback for students and educators.The Human vs. AI Detection in Essay Writing competition addressed the growing challenge of distinguishing AI-generated text from human-written work. Using a dataset of student and AI-generated essays, competitors developed models that could reliably identify AI-generated content. These models support academic integrity and provide educators with tools to navigate the rapidly evolving landscape of digital writing while promoting authentic student work.ASAP 2.0 revisited automated essay scoring with updated datasets and contemporary machine-learning approaches. Competitors created models that accurately scored student essays while minimizing bias, reducing teacher workload, and enabling faster and more equitable feedback for students across diverse educational settings. This work supports scalable assessment practices that can improve student outcomes while maintaining fairness and reliability.Finally, the Personally Identifiable Information Identification competition focused on improving the safety and accessibility of educational data. Participants developed models to accurately detect and label sensitive information in student-written text, ensuring privacy protections while enabling the sharing and use of high-quality datasets for research and educational purposes. This work contributes to safer, more usable educational data resources for the broader research community.Across all four competitions, The Learning Agency Lab engaged thousands of participants worldwide, producing open-source, high-performing models that advance teaching, assessment, and data privacy in education. In addition to developing these tools, the Lab has continued to build partnerships with educational vendors to encourage the adoption of the algorithms created through the competitions. The Lab also continues to update the Learning Exchange platform, making the datasets, models, and related resources widely accessible to support ongoing research, innovation, and equitable educational practices.

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.

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.
