Governance

This organization files the short tax form, which does not ask about boards, policies or audits. That is normal for a small charity and is not a mark against it.

Impact evidence

Describes programs. Its tax return describes what it does but we have found no measurable results in it.

Programs described in its return (3)
  1. Provide high dosage online tutoring services to children. Delivered targeted, high-dosage online tutoring to 75 first-grade students utilizing an intensive, 15-minute daily instructional curriculum designed to accelerate early literacy and foundational skills. Powered a rigorous quality standard by requiring 100 hours of specialized pre-assignment training for all tutors. Ensured strict accountability and individualized growth mapping through collaborative school-vendor progress reviews every six weeks, delivering structured performance report cards directly to educators and parents to measure achievement against established baseline metrics.
  2. Advanced early literacy and fostered a lifelong joy of reading by sourcing and donating 8,400 requested books to community partners. This targeted initiative provided high-quality, age-appropriate literature to children ages 4 to 9, allowing young learners to build their own home libraries with permanent ownership of the books. By equipping children with physical books to keep, the program directly strengthens foundational reading habits, enhances vocabulary acquisition, and closes the literacy gap outside the classroom.
  3. Donated 20 bicycles to regional schools to combat sedentary lifestyles and foster youth wellness. This strategic initiative expands student access to outdoor recreation, directly improving cardiovascular health, enhancing motor skill development, and instilling positive physical habits during critical stages of childhood growth.
