Mission

I-LEAD IS A COMMUNITY BASED NON-PROFIT SCHOOL THAT WORKS TO IMPROVE LOCAL QUALITY OF LIFE BY HELPING TO STRENGTHEN CITIZENS AS EFFECTIVE COMMUNITY LEADERS.

  • SINCE 1995, I-LEAD HAS WORKED AS AN INNOVATIVE AND IMPACTFUL FORCE FOR IMPROVING QUALITY OF LIFE AND ECONOMIC EQUITY IN UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES IN SOUTHEASTERN PENNSYLVANIA.I-LEAD HELPS LOW-INCOME CLIENTS TRANSCEND THE PRIMARY BARRIERS FACED BY WORKING ADULTS WHEN PURSUING EDUCATION, WORKFORCE SKILLS, AND ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY: TIME, COST, PREPAREDNESS, AND LACK OF FAMILIARITY WITH EDUCATION AND WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT SYSTEMS. NEARLY 90% OF I-LEAD'S CLIENTS ARE WOMEN OF COLOR BETWEEN THE AGES OF 25 AND 50; MORE THAN 50% HAVE CHILDREN AT HOME. SINCE ITS INCEPTION, I-LEAD HAS HELPED MORE THAN 1,400 NONTRADITIONAL ADULT LEARNERS EARN WORKFORCE COMPETENCIES ALIGNED WITH HIGHER EDUCATION CREDENTIALS LEADING TO IMPROVED ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY. I-LEAD ALSO WORKS INTENSIVELY WITH LOCAL PARTNERS TO DEVELOP STRATEGIES TO OVERCOME THE BARRIERS TO CAREER DEVELOPMENT AND HIGHER EDUCATION ATTACHMENT CONFRONTING SYSTEM-INVOLVED YOUTH. IN PENNSYLVANIA, APPROXIMATELY 1,100 YOUTH AGE OUT OF THE FOSTER CARE SYSTEM ANNUALLY. MOST OFTEN THEY LEAVE THE SYSTEM WITH FEW FINANCIAL RESOURCES, LIMITED EDUCATIONAL ACHIEVEMENT, AND CONSEQUENTLY, VERY LIMITED EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES. 95% WILL LEAVE THE SYSTEM WITH NO SOURCE OF INCOME. THOUGH SOME WILL HAVE STABLE RELATIONSHIPS WITH SUPPORTIVE ADULTS, THE MAJORITY DO NOT. AS THEY EMERGE FROM CARE, MANY CONFRONT CHALLENGES SUCH AS UNPLANNED PREGNANCY, INVOLVEMENT WITH THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM, HOMELESSNESS, AND ADDICTION. NEARLY HALF OF PENNSYLVANIA'S FOSTER CARE YOUTH REMAIN UNEMPLOYED FOUR YEARS AFTER AGING OUT OF THE SYSTEM.

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. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. 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. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

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

Taxable family

From Schedule R Parts I, III and IV: entities that legally are the filer, and taxable partnerships, corporations and trusts it is related to. These record ownership and control, not shared board members or money.

Disregarded entities on its 2024 return

Related partnerships on its 2024 return

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.
