Mission and programs · 2024

• BUILDING A SYSTEM OF CARETHIS PROGRAM AIMS TO CREATE A COORDINATED NETWORK OF SERVICES THAT ENSURES ALL FAMILIES HAVE ACCESS TO THE RESOURCES THEY NEED. THE CENTRAL INITIATIVE OF THIS PROGRAM IS ROUTES TO READY, WHICH USES NAVIGATORS, CHILD DEVELOPMENT SPECIALISTS, AND NURSES IN HEALTH CARE AND COMMUNITY SETTINGS TO UNIVERSALLY REACH, ASSESS, AND CONNECT FAMILIES TO COMMUNITY RESOURCES. ROUTES TO READY: IN THIS MULTI-ORGANIZATION COLLABORATION, NON-MEDICAL STAFF WORK IN HEALTHCARE SETTINGS, LIKE OBSTETRICIANS AND PEDIATRICIANS' OFFICES, AND NURSE HOME VISITORS WORK IN BROADER COMMUNITY SPACES TO REACH AND ASSESS FAMILIES. THEY HELP IDENTIFY NEEDS (INCLUDING SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH) AND DIRECT FAMILIES TO THE APPROPRIATE LOCAL RESOURCES, SUCH AS PARENTING SUPPORT, EARLY INTERVENTION PROGRAMS, AND FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. ALL OF THESE PARTNERS ALSO PROVIDE DIRECT EDUCATION, INFORMATION, AND SUPPORT TO VARYING DEGREES. ACROSS ROUTES TO READY PARTNERS, 86% OF FAMILIES WITH IDENTIFIED NEEDS WITH A KNOWN REFERRAL STATUS HAVE RECEIVED AT LEAST ONE SECURED REFERRAL (MEANING THEY HAVE RECEIVED THE SERVICE).INTEGRATED DATA SYSTEM (IDS): THE IDS SUPPORTS ROUTES TO READY BY USING TECHNOLOGY TO GATHER, TRACK, AND ANALYZE DATA ACROSS PROGRAMS (WITH CONSENT OF THE CLIENT OR PARENT/GUARDIAN). THE IDS HELPS LEADERS AT BOTH THE COLLABORATIVE AND COMMUNITY LEVELS MAKE INFORMED DECISIONS, RESULTING IN IMPROVED SERVICE DELIVERY ACROSS ROUTES TO READY PARTNERS FOR INDIVIDUAL FAMILIES AND IMPROVED SYSTEM FUNCTION FOR FAMILIES ACROSS THE COMMUNITY. THIS INCLUDES HELPING COMMUNITY LEADERS IDENTIFY AND FILL RESOURCE GAPS. 3 OF 4 ROUTES TO READY PARTNERS HAVE ALREADY BEEN ONBOARDED TO THE IDS.

As filed on the 2024 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

Officers and directors · 2024

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

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. 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.
