Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

To inspire young underrepresented and marginalized students to see themselves represented in the field of science and technology

  • The Tapping Roots Program revenue reflects a fee-for-service partnership with ELSO where Project LEDO delivered robotics education programming for youth. In addition to robotics instruction, the partnership was designed to provide high school students with mentorship exposure and career-connected learning opportunities through Project LEDOs summer camps. Project LEDO also facilitated multiple community-based events, including robotics engagement activities and financial literacy symposiums, aimed at strengthening leadership development, workforce readiness, and long-term academic and career pathways for students.

    Expenses $247,279

  • Project LEDO has always believed in the power of partnerships and collaboration. We understand that by joining forces with other local organizations that share our core values, we can make an even bigger impact on the communities we serve. Through these strategic alliances, Project LEDO has formed a strong and united front to address the pressing issues faced by BIPOC communities. Our programs have expanded to include a collaboration with We Belong PDX, which has allowed us to touch even more students. Additionally, our partnership with POIC has further strengthened our outreach. A significant accomplishment in our program is that we have students going to the Academy of Science. These students are comprised primarily of immigrant students and people of color. We have also provided computers to help bridge the gap in the digital divide. Our program has partners with Wells Fargo, Chase Bank, PG&E and others in efforts to support our mission. These partnerships have not only increased our resources but also extended our reach into new areas. By collaborating with like-minded organizations, Project LEDO has been able to expand its programs and initiatives to two additional school districts. This means more students from diverse backgrounds now have access to the field of science and technology.

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.

As filed, from the IRS e-Postcard file of 9 November 2026. The IRS publishes only each organization's most recent postcard, so earlier years are not shown. A 990-N carries no financial detail. The postcard also gives the principal officer's address, which is not shown here.

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.
