THROUGH OUR PROGRAMS, PARENTS ARE NOT ONLY GIVEN A VOICE, THEY ARE EQUIPPED TO MAKE INFORMED DECISIONS THAT DIRECTLY INFLUENCE THEIR CHILDREN'S ACADEMIC SUCCESS. THIS EMPOWERMENT IS A CRITICAL STEP IN MOVING AT-RISK STUDENTS FROM CHALLENGING CIRCUMSTANCES INTO LIVES MARKED BY CONFIDENCE, ACHIEVEMENT, AND LONG-TERM STABILITY. THROUGH OUR EXPANDED EFFORTS, WE HAVE STRENGTHENED OUR ROLE AS BOTH AN INFORMATIONAL RESOURCE FOR ALL FAMILIES AND A FINANCIAL RESOURCE FOR THOSE IN LOW SOCIO-ECONOMIC CIRCUMSTANCES. OUR TARGETED SUPPORTS, INCLUDING TUTORING AND BRAIN INTEGRATION, HAVE LED TO MEASURABLE ACADEMIC GAINS, WITH MANY STUDENTS DEMONSTRATING MEANINGFUL PROGRESS IN READING AND MATH. THESE INTERVENTIONS ARE HELPING BREAK DOWN LONG-STANDING BARRIERS TO ACHIEVEMENT AND CREATING REAL MOMENTUM FOR STUDENT SUCCESS. IN ADDITION, FAMILIES HAVE INCREASINGLY PRIORITIZED THEIR CHILDREN'S SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL AND MENTAL HEALTH. PARENTS CHALLENGE HAS RESPONDED BY PROVIDING GUIDANCE, RESOURCES, AND DIRECT SUPPORT, ENABLING FAMILIES TO TAKE PROACTIVE STEPS IN ADDRESSING THESE NEEDS. AS A RESULT, FAMILIES ARE MORE ENGAGED, BETTER INFORMED, AND MORE CONFIDENT IN ADVOCATING FOR THEIR CHILDREN'S OVERALL WELL-BEING AND ACADEMIC FUTURE. 968566 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 3 0 4 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 9 9 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 CO X STEVEN EVERSON 7193068557 2 NORTH CASCADE AVE STE 1280 SPRINGS CO 80903 STEPHEN SCHUCK BOARD CHAIR / FOUNDER 20.00 X X 0 0 0 STEVEN EVERSON SECRETARY/ TREASURER 5.00 X X 0 0 0 LISA JESSEE VICE CHAIR 10.00 X X 0 0 0 ROBERT GARDNER TRUSTEE 0.20 X 0 0 0 KIM SHUGART TRUSTEE 0.20 X 0 0 0 JOSEPH WOODFORD TRUSTEE 0.20 X 0 0 0 DR REGINA LEWIS TRUSTEE 0.20 X 0 0 0 MIKE MILES TRUSTEE 0.20 X 0 0 0 DEBORAH HENDRIX EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.00 X 97601 0 11258 97601 0 11258 0 0 0 0 0 2431541 2431541 46690 46690 29265 16198 13067 13067 13067 MISCELLANEOUS REVENUE 900099 493 493 493 2491791 0 0 60250 569390 569390 132573 106059 13257 13257 41483 33187 4148 4148 61634 49307 6163 6164 24391 18802 3861 1728 16846 13477 1684 1685 9450 6615 472 2363 1476 1092 247 137 37730 29752 4934 3044 37963 30074 6219 1670 1800 1350 360 90 11157 8926 1115 1116 104401 95321 6573 2507 6952 5214 1390 348 MISCELLANEOUS 1715 1715 1058961 968566 52138 38257 366319 351719 166075 740167 3000 300000 300000 300000 357555 1208658 1189949 2603544 11261 5100 150000 150000 161261 155100 X 864623 1088768 164065 1359676 1028688 2448444 1189949 2603544 1432830 -13074 0 X 1 X 0 1 0 X 874750 699459 1145588 808460 2431541 5959798 874750 699459 1145588 808460 2431541 5959798 2192331 3767467 193 246 798 16127 46690 64054 61 69 493 623 6024475 0.62540 0.57190 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 1 300000 300000 300000 X 2553717 -13074 75000 61926 2491791 0 2491791 1133961 75000 75000 1058961 0 1058961 PART IV, LINE 1B: LAND HELD FOR OTHERS - PARENTS CHALLENGE RECEIVED LAND THAT IS PARTIALLY HELD FOR THE BENEFIT OF ANOTHER ORGANIZATION.
