Mission and programs · 2025

Mission

SO KIDS SOAR SKS, A NOT-FOR-PROFIT SECTION 501C3, PROVIDES LIFE-CHANGING PROGRAMS THAT EMPOWER YOUTH WITH PHYSICAL AND DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES TO STRIVE, OWN, ACHIEVE AND REALIZE THEIR POTENTIAL.

  • SKS CLINICS ARE ADAPTIVE CLINICS HELD ONCE OR TWICE A MONTH FOR YOUTH WITH DISABILITIES. THROUGH OUR CLINICS, THOSE WITH PHYSICAL AND DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES ARE ABLE TO COME OFF THE SIDELINES AND UNITE WITH THEIR PEERS. MANY CHILDREN HAVE BEEN BULLIED IN SCHOOLS AND ARE LEFT OUT OF ACTIVITIES WITH ABLE-BODIED CHILDREN. THE EMPOWERMENT AND SELF-CONFIDENCE GAINED THROUGH THE CLINICS WILL CARRY OVER FROM THE FIELD TO THE HOME, CLASSROOM, AND COMMUNITY, ALLOWING THEM TO REALIZE THAT THEIR DISABILITY WILL NOT PREVENT THEM FROM FULFILLING THEIR DREAMS. EACH CHILD IS PARTNERED WITH A VOLUNTEER TO LEARN THE ESSENCE OF TEAMWORK, HAVE A MENTOR, AND BOND OVER A SENSE OF CAMARADERIE. IN 2024, SKS PROVIDED 13 IN-PERSON CLINICS AND 13 DIGITAL CLINICS TO A TOTAL OF 182 PARTICIPANTS AND 237 VOLUNTEERS.

    Expenses $97,473

  • YOUR PATH TO SUCCESS: THE SO KIDS SOAR MENTORSHIP PROGRAM PROVIDES COMMUNICATION, LEADERSHIP AND VOCATIONAL SKILL-BUILDING FOR YOUNG ADULTS WITH DEVELOPMENTAL DELAYS AND/OR PHYSICAL DISABILITIES IN THE WASHINGTON DC AREA. OVER THE COURSE OF 3 MONTHS, PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS ATTEND SKILL-BUILDING WORKSHOPS ON TOPICS SUCH AS RESUME DEVELOPMENT, INTERVIEWING, FORMAL EMAIL COMMUNICATION, AND OFF-SITE COMMUNITY SERVICE PROJECTS. THE GOAL IS TO ENSURE THAT PARTICIPANTS WALK AWAY WITH MEANINGFUL RELATIONSHIPS, NEW CONFIDENCE AND REAL SKILLS THAT ALLOW THEM TO PURSUE INDEPENDENCE AND GAINFUL EMPLOYMENT

    Expenses $57,925

  • SKS HOLIDAY CELEBRATION: THIS CELEBRATION IS MORE THAN A SEASONAL PARTY. IT IS OUR CULMINATING YEAR-END EVENT THAT GIVES OUR PARTICIPANTS THE OPPORTUNITY TO PAY COMPASSION FORWARD. PARTICIPANTS ENGAGE IN A VARIETY OF PHILANTHROPIC ACTIVITIES AT THE HOLIDAY CELEBRATION, INCLUDING WRAPPING GIFTS FOR UNDERPRIVILEGED CHILDREN DECORATING DESSERTS FOR HOMELESS SHELTERS MAKING HOLIDAY CARDS FOR VETERANS AND MORE. THE HOLIDAY CELEBRATION IS A TIME FOR FUN AND PHILANTHROPY AND A REMINDER THAT THEIR DISABILITIES WILL NOT HOLD THEM BACK FROM REACHING THEIR POTENTIAL. AT THE 2024 SKS HOLIDAY PROGRAM, 41 PARTICIPANTS AND 63 VOLUNTEERS ACHIEVED THE FOLLOWING GOALS: - 250 PRESENTS FOR DC METRO FOSTER AND ADOPTIVE PARENT ASSOCIATION - 89 PRESENTS FOR THE NAPKIN NETWORK - 57 BACKPACKS STUFFED WITH SCHOOL SUPPLIES AND TOYS FOR KIDS IN NEED OF DEFENSE (KIND) - 50 BACKPACKS STUFFED WITH HYGIENE KITS FOR COMFORT CASES, INC. - 50 STUFFED KONG BALLS FOR MONTGOMERY COUNTY PARTNERS FOR ANIMAL WELL-BEING - 70 FLASH CARDS FOR HANDS ON TOKYO.

    Expenses $31,834

  • VARIOUS OTHER PROGRAMS WITHIN SKS INCLUDE VOLUNTEER RECRUITMENT, YOUTH RECRUITMENT,AND GENERAL, ONE-TIME PROGRAMS OFFERED TO YOUTH THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.

    Expenses $24,693

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.

Grants received

The 10 largest by cash amount. The API serves every itemized grant.

Other IRS files

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.
