The purpose of the organization is to forge partnerships that create shared efforts across the afterschool field that close access gaps to afterschool and ensure professional development, resources and trainings across the state to improve program quality. 0 0 4045954 3493449 4190999 In 2022, Ignite Afterschool led advocacy and issue education work focused on highlighting geography, race, and income-based access gaps to high quality afterschool and summer learning programs across the state and shared how funding through the Afterschool Community Learning Grant program can close access gaps. Ignite convened and facilitated a Policy Coordinating Council that meets monthly with over 15 organizations. In addition, Ignite Afterschool partnered with two other organizations to launch the Equitable Summer Learning research project which documented how school districts and community organizations used Covid relief funds during the summer of 2021. The final report was released through a webinar and documented innovations, what worked, what didn't and what can be improved to strengthen community-school partnerships to improve summer learning. The organization also supported 7 organizations to hold Lights on Afterschool celebrations and program site visits that were attended by 11 legislators and many other stakeholders in their community. Ignite Afterschool also supported professional development and continuous program improvement resources for Minnesota's afterschool community. Aligned with the national Million Girls Moonshot Initiative, Ignite facilitated a STEM Community of Practice for approximately 11 organizations that met monthly for training and peer sharing focused on topics like fostering an engineering mindset; role models, mentors and families; equity; and STEM Pathways and Transition. Ignite Afterschool facilitates a continuous program improvement coordinating council of 11 partner organizations that worked to rebuild participation in our annual M3 Continuous Program Improvement process after the Covid-19 pandemic. We grew from 25 organizations participating in 2021 to 40 organizations and 254 people engaged in continuous improvement in 2022. Ignite supported five organizations through a Community of Practice to pilot a new Summer Continuous Improvement process and gathered lessons learned. We also led training associated with Believe It. Build It., Minnesota's Guide to Effective Afterschool practices for AmeriCorps members. In partnership and systems building work, Ignite Afterschool sat on a planning and launch work group with six other organizations to envision a MN STEM Ecosystem initiative. Ignite received a $400,000 congressionally directed earmark to support launch of this new initiative and, working with partners, leveraged an additional $100,000 from corporate partners for a 2023 launch. The organization entered into a new agreement with the Minnesota Department of Human Services to design a new school-age care accreditation and continuous improvement process and began planning for an interim school-age care program. Lastly, in 2021 Ignite was tapped by the Minnesota Department of Education to administer $13.2M in federal Covid relief funds targeted to nonprofit organizations for afterschool programs. In 2022, Ignite supported a cohort of 21 nonprofit grantees by providing all grant administration, performance monitoring, professional development and capacity building functions. This included virtual performance monitoring visits, quarterly virtual peer-sharing and professional development offerings and a two-day capacity building retreat for grantees. 0 0 0 . 0 0 0 4045954 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 5 0 1 5 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 8 8 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 MN X X Kari Denissen Cunnien 6516445836 1400 Van Buren St NE Suite 203 Minneapolis MN 55413 Kari Denissen Cunnien Executive Director 40 0 X X 80728 0 12907 Angel Nustad-Peluso Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Chris Ganzlin Director and Secretary 1 0 X 0 0 0 Mukund Prajapati Director and Treasurer 1 0 X 0 0 0 Tracie Clanaugh Board member and Chair 1 0 X 0 0 0 Rachel Oberg-Hauser Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Dale Blyth Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Angelina Nustad-Peluso Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Natalya Arevalo Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Cani Aden Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Michael Barnes Diretcor 1 0 X 0 0 0 Xavier Vazquez Diretor 1 1 X X 0 0 0 Laura Greenlee Karp Director 1 0 X X 0 0 0 80728 0 12907 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3730999 405895 0 4136894 34095 34095 0 0 34095 2381 2381 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4173370 36476 0 0 3493449 3493449 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 241550 219407 20877 1266 0 0 0 0 37597 36723 823 51 18440 17149 1191 100 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 7610 7610 0 0 25000 25000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 198846 198846 0 0 8175 7971 204 0 18839 18839 0 0 5877 5877 0 0 9394 9394 0 0 3545 3545 0 0 2144 2144 0 0 4070466 4045954 23095 1417 196777 1377927 302 0 111488 25000 15392 567103 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1466 894 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 25000 325425 1995924 28895 9429 0 1579579 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 7482 28895 1596490 X 114816 24547 181714 374887 296530 399434 325425 1995924 102904 0 0 0 0 0 X 0 1 X 1 1 1 X 392706 594229 380546 378282 4136894 5882657 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 392706 594229 380546 378282 4136894 5882657 0 5882657 182 215 274 211 2381 3263 30810 91552 91278 39108 34095 286843 6172763 0 0.95300 0.88061 X Schedule A, Part II, Line 10 Program revenue RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 25000 25000 0 25000 5000 1250 0 20000 0 93920 76727 4399 5000 180046 270069 25000 25000 20000 25000 95000 23480 19182 1100 1250 45012 67518 0 0 0 0 0 0 Payroll Related Liabilities 7482 7482 4173370 0 0 0 0 0 4173370 0 0 0 4173370 4070466 0 0 0 0 0 4070466 0 0 0 4070466 X X X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Kari Denissen Cunnien Executive Director 80728 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 12907 0 93635 0 0 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b The full board of directors receives, reviews, and approves the 990 before the return is filed.
