Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

To surround students with a community of support, empowering them to stay in school and achieve in life.

  • Middle School ProgramsStudent Support Coaches at Burns Middle School and Shelby Middle School provide supports that include in-school academic and enrichment services in a variety of formats. Programming provides students, and their parents/guardians when applicable, a one-on-one relationship with a caring adult, a safe place to learn and grow, and exposure to certain strategies based on an individualized student-support plan that focuses on goals related to behavior, attendance, and coursework. Services are based on identified needs and established goals and may include academic support, academic enrichment, service-learning, character education, leadership, financial literacy, and family-engagement activities, among others. Student Support Coaches work as partners with school staff, students, and families to develop a caseload of vulnerable students who would most benefit from their services. The schools also benefit from whole-school activities and events.

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. 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

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.
