Other organizations at this address

1 other organization in the IRS Business Master File lists the same street address. 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 · 2023

Primary exempt purpose

Brights stars purpose is to provide comprehensive, year-round out-of-school time programs that address the educational needs of children in underserved commuinites. Our priority is to suport the schools we serve by augmenting learning so that every child attending Bright Stars will perform at or above grade level in reading and mathematics. This priority supports the need to close the achievement gap that exist in many of the schools we serve in our program. We achieve this priority via three modules in both our after school and summer camp programs.

  • Academic: In 2023 academic school year our organization provided after school and summer camp programs, where we assessed the unique needs of 53 student participants. We were able to provide appropriate academic support and assistance. The participating scholars primarily attended low-perfoming schools. Our non-profit provided a daily pickup services for our students 5 days per week to bring students to our after school program. The students were greeted by qualified teachers that assisted them with learning resources and materials. The program was also able to provide daily snacks.

    Expenses $31,571

  • Extended Enrichment: In 2023 our program connected learning to real life hands on experiences in the areas of Science, TechnologyEngineering, Arts, and Mathematics (S.T.E.A.M.) Upon recieving academic enrichment, with the use of ongoing assessments, we found that at the end of the academic year80% of the students that attended the program were at or above grade level in reading

    Expenses $31,571

  • Summer Camp: In 2023 our non-profit provided 8 weeks of summer camp,and based on pre and post-test, 98% of our campers were on grade level or above in reading. Our organization also focused on parent engagement. Parents were given an opportunity to visit their childs classrooms, and engaged in their childs work products and displays.Parent involvement provided evidence of academic and personal growth for their children.

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

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

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.
