Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

As a community, The Forager School is guided by a child-centered philosophy that puts play at the heart of everything we do. Located in rural Northern California we are devoted to fostering a deep connection between young children and the natural world. We embrace the idea that nature provides a rich and dynamic environment for learning, exploration, and growth.

Activities or mission (Part I)

The Forager School is a play-based preschool for children 2 to entry into first grade. We serve families on the Sonoma and Mendocino coast from Stewarts Point to Gualala, California.

  • The Forager School Preschool reached full capacity with a wait list in the 2024-2025 year. The Forager School grew their Forager School summer school programming serving approximately 25 Preschool students (ages 2-5), and over 35 Adventure Camp students (ages 5-9). And, in the Fall of 2025, The Forager School launched an early elementary school (grades K-3) with an inaugural class of six students. The Forager School continues to strive to provide quality student-centered, interdiscplinary, and outdoor focused educational opportunities for families living along the rural Mendonoma Coast.

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.

As filed, from the IRS e-Postcard file of 26 October 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.

Grants received

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.
