We match the street line and ZIP code as the IRS gives them, ignoring case and outer spaces and nothing else, so "AVE" and "AVENUE" count as different streets and this list can miss some. A shared address can mean related organizations or a shared office, but it can also be a registered agent, a mail drop or a service provider holding mail for unrelated clients. It is not, by itself, evidence that two organizations are connected.

• BIG BROTHERS BIG SISTERS OF MIAMI, INC. (THE "ORGANIZATION") IS A NON- PROFIT ORGANIZATION AND A MEMBER OF THE NATIONAL FEDERATION BIG BROTHERS BIG SISTERS OF AMERICA. THE ORGANIZATION RECOGNIZES THAT ALL YOUTH HAVE THE ABILITY TO DO BIG THINGS. THAT IS THE FOUNDATION UPON WHICH BBBS OF AMERICA WAS FOUNDED - AND UPON WHICH THE ORGANIZATION CONTINUES TO WORK TODAY. IN 1904, A COURT CLERK SAW MORE AND MORE YOUNG BOYS ENTERING THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM. HE RECOGNIZED THAT THESE BOYS HAD ONE THING IN COMMON - NONE OF THEM HAD POSITIVE ROLE MODELS. THEREFORE, THIS CLERK RECRUITED VOLUNTEERS TO BEFRIEND THESE BOYS AND HELP THEM STAY OUT OF TROUBLE, STARTING THE BIG BROTHERS MOVEMENT. SEPARATELY, A GROUP CALLED LADIES OF CHARITY BEGAN A SIMILAR MOVEMENT FOR YOUNG GIRLS, BEFRIENDING THOSE WHO HAD COME THROUGH NEW YORK CHILDRENS COURT. IN 1977, THE GROUPS JOINED FORCED TO BECOME BIG BROTHERS BIG SISTERS OF AMERICA, THE OLDEST AND LARGEST MENTORING ORGANIZATION IN THE COUNTRY. IN 1958, MIAMIS BIG BROTHERS MOVEMENT BEGAN IN A SIMILAR FASHION, LATER MERGING WITH A LOCAL BIG SISTERS MOVEMENT THAT STARTED AROUND THE SAME TIME. TODAY, AT THIS CRITICAL POINT IN THE SOCIAL JUSTICE AND RACIAL EQUITY CONVERSATION, THE ORGANIZATION CONTINUES ITS SOCIAL JUSTICE WORK OF MENTORING MIAMIS YOUTH AND EMPHASIZES THE INNOVATIVE WAYS IT ADDRESSES RACIAL INEQUITIES IN OUR COMMUNITY AND BUILDS MUTUAL RESPECT AMONG ALL COMMUNITIES. TO DO THIS, THE ORGANIZATION WORKS TOWARD THE MISSION OF CREATING AND SUPPORTING ONE-TO-ONE MENTORING RELATIONSHIPS THAT IGNITE THE POWER AND PROMISE OF YOUTH. FOR MORE THAN 60 YEARS, THE ORGANIZATION HAS BEEN SOUTH FLORIDAS PREMIER MENTORING ORGANIZATION, DEFENDING THE POTENTIAL OF FUTURE LEADERS IN THE COMMUNITY BY MATCHING AT-RISK YOUTH ("LITTLES") WITH COMMITTED ADULT MENTORS ("BIGS"). THESE RELATIONSHIPS - STRATEGICALLY MATCHED BASED ON LITTLES NEEDS AND BIGS BACKGROUNDS AND SKILLS, AS WELL AS COMMON INTERESTS AND PERSONALITIES - EMPOWER LITTLES TO ACHIEVE THEIR FULL POTENTIAL AND BECOME PRODUCTIVE MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY. BUILDING UPON THE CORE ONE-TO-ONE COMMUNITY-BASED MENTORING MODEL IN WHICH BIGS AND LITTLES EXPLORE THE LOCAL (OR VIRTUAL) COMMUNITY TOGETHER, THE ORGANIZATION HAS DEVELOPED INNOVATIVE PROGRAMS TO MEET THE COMMUNITYS NEEDS; THESE INCLUDE BIGS IN SCHOOLS, IN WHICH BIGS VISIT THEIR LITTLES AT SCHOOL, AN AFTER-SCHOOL PROGRAM, OR ONLINE; SCHOOL TO WORK, IN WHICH LITTLES SPEND TIME WITH THEIR BIGS IN A PROFESSIONAL ENVIRONMENT; A GRADUATE PROGRAM, IN WHICH BIGS AND LITTLES CONTINUE THEIR MENTORING RELATIONSHIP AFTER THE LITTLE GRADUATES HIGH SCHOOL; BIGS IN BLUE, IN WHICH LOCAL POLICE OFFICERS SERVE AS BIGS; AND A SET OF CONTINUING EDUCATION PROGRAMS THAT PREPARE LITTLES FOR POST-SECONDARY SUCCESS, BOTH WHILE IN HIGH SCHOOL AND UPON GRADUATION. CONTINUING EDUCATION PROGRAMMING INCLUDES TAKE STOCK IN CHILDREN OF FLORIDA, INC. ("TSIC"). AS THE LEAD PARTNER FOR THE MIAMI OFFICE OF TSIC, THE ORGANIZATION OFFERS YOUTH WHO ARE ENROLLED IN TSIC A FULL SCHOLARSHIP THROUGH THE FLORIDA PRE-PAID PROGRAM UPON HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION. ADDITIONALLY, THESE YOUTH RECEIVE TARGETED COLLEGE SUCCESS COACHING TO ENSURE THEY ARE PROGRESSING ACADEMICALLY AND RECEIVING ANY NECESSARY INTERVENTIONS TO GET AND STAY ON TRACK TO GRADUATE HIGH SCHOOL ON TIME. FINALLY, THESE YOUTH RECEIVE PERSONAL MENTORS WHO WORK WITH THEM AND THEIR COLLEGE SUCCESS COACH TO PROVIDE THE SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL SUPPORT NECESSARY TO SUCCEED IN HIGH SCHOOL AND BEYOND. WITH THE END GOAL OF ALL STUDENTS ENROLLING IN POST-SECONDARY EDUCATION-AND THE LONG-TERM GOAL OF ALL STUDENTS GRADUATING WITH A DEGREE FROM AN INSTITUTE OF HIGHER EDUCATION-THE PROGRAM ALSO PROVIDES COLLEGE AND CAREER READINESS WORKSHOPS, WHICH ARE NOW OPEN TO ALL YOUTH SERVED BY THE ORGANIZATION, WHETHER OR NOT THEY ARE ENROLLED IN TSIC. COVERING TOPICS SUCH AS COMPLETING THE FAFSA, WRITING A COLLEGE ESSAY, AND GENERAL LIFE SKILLS SUCH AS PUBLIC SPEAKING AND TIME MANAGEMENT, THESE WORKSHOPS ENHANCE THE MENTORING PROGRAMS PROVIDED BY THE ORGANIZATION, HELPING YOUTH SERVED ANSWER THE QUESTION, "WHATS NEXT?" YOUTH ENROLLED IN TSIC ARE ALSO OFFERED THE OPPORTUNITY TO ENROLL IN THE CORE BIG BROTHERS BIG SISTERS MENTORING PROGRAM, SO THEY ARE ELIGIBLE FOR THE GRADUATE PROGRAM UPON HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION, ENABLING THEM TO MAINTAIN THEIR RELATIONSHIP WITH THEIR MENTOR THROUGHOUT THEIR TRANSITION TO ADULTHOOD. FINALLY, THE ORGANIZATION PROVIDES GROUP ENGAGEMENT & MENTORING ("GEM") PROGRAMMING AT ITS HEADQUARTERS AND ONLINE. GEM IMPLEMENTS POSITIVE YOUTH DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES THAT FOCUS ON ONE OR MORE OF FIVE KEY AREAS, KNOWN AS THE BIG5 - ACADEMIC ENRICHMENT, CAREER PATHWAYS,DIGITAL LITERACY, HEALTH & WELLNESS, AND MUSIC & THE ARTS. GEM PROGRAMMING AUGMENTS ONE-TO-ONE MENTORING AND PROVIDES YOUTH WAITING FOR A MENTOR TO BENEFIT FROM POSITIVE PROGRAMMING AND ROLE MODELS. WITH A VISION THAT ALL CHILDREN ACHIEVE THEIR FULL POTENTIAL, THE ORGANIZATION IGNITES THE POTENTIAL WITHIN EACH AND EVERY CHILD AND ADVOCATES FOR THEM TO EXPLORE THE ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES OF WHAT THEY CAN ACCOMPLISH. WHETHER THROUGH ONE-TO-ONE MENTORING, TSIC OR GEM, YOUTH BENEFIT FROM A POSITIVE ROLE MODEL WHO ADVOCATES FOR THEM AND HELPS THEM REACH THEIR FULL POTENTIAL - THEIR BIG POTENTIAL.

  Expenses $7,504,993 · Grants $994,111

As filed on the 2023 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

Officers and directors · 2023

As listed in Part VII of the 2023 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

The first 25 listed. 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.
