CADEKIDS QUALIFIES FOR THE CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTION DEDUCTION UNDER CODE SECTION 170(B)(1)(A). U.S. GAAP REQUIRES MANAGEMENT TO EVALUATE TAX POSITIONS TAKEN AND RECOGNIZE A TAX LIABILITY, IF CADEKIDS HAS TAKEN AN UNCERTAIN TAX POSITION THAT MORE LIKELY THAN NOT WOULD NOT BE SUSTAINED UPON EXAMINATION BY A GOVERNMENT AUTHORITY. MANAGEMENT HAS ANALYZED THE TAX POSITIONS TAKEN BY CADEKIDS AND HAS CONCLUDED THAT AS OF JUNE 30, 2023 AND 2022, THERE ARE NO UNCERTAIN POSITIONS TAKEN OR EXPECTED TO BE TAKEN THAT WOULD REQUIRE RECOGNITION OF A LIABILITY OR DISCLOSURE IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. CADEKIDS RECOGNIZES ACCRUED INTEREST AND PENALTIES ASSOCIATED WITH UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS, IF ANY, AS PART OF ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. THERE WERE NO INCOME TAX RELATED INTEREST AND PENALTIES RECORDED FOR EITHER OF THE YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2023 OR 2022.

FORM 990, PART XII, LINE 2C: IMPACT STATEMENT: CADEKIDS TEACHES AND MENTORS PHILADELPHIA PUBLIC SCHOOL STUDENTS TO RISE ABOVE DESPERATE CIRCUMSTANCES - VIOLENCE, POVERTY, AND APATHY - TO BUILD LIVES THAT MATCH THEIR DREAMS. FOUNDED IN 1987, CADEKIDS IS A PENNSYLVANIA-REGISTERED CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION THAT HELPS K-8TH GRADE PUBLIC SCHOOL STUDENTS MAKE GOOD DECISIONS BY TEACHING THEM HOW TO CONTROL THEIR IMPULSES AND AVOID VIOLENCE AND DRUG USE. IN 2022-2023 WE SERVED 5,053 STUDENTS IN SCHOOLS: 4,123 IN OUR CORE PREVENTION PROGRAMS AND 930 THROUGH PROBLEM GAMBLING AWARENESS/PREVENTION LESSONS. RACIALLY, OUR PARTICIPANTS ARE BLACK, 60%; WHITE, 25%; ASIAN, 4%; AND OTHER; 11%; ETHNICALLY, 30% ARE LATINO. CADEKIDS FOCUSES ON ELEMENTARY AND MIDDLE SCHOOLS LOCATED IN PHILADELPHIA'S MOST-STRESSED ZIP CODES, WHICH HAVE THE HIGHEST CONCENTRATION OF SHOOTINGS, DEATH WITH DRUGS PRESENT, AND PROPERTY CRIMES. OUR BEST-PRACTICE MODEL HELPS STUDENTS RECOGNIZE THEIR EMOTIONS TO AVOID SELF-DESTRUCTIVE CONFLICT. DEDICATED PREVENTION SPECIALISTS (PSS) MAINTAIN A YEAR-LONG PRESENCE IN THEIR SCHOOLS AND PROVIDE STUDENTS WITH LIFE SKILLS ESSENTIAL FOR ACADEMIC SUCCESS AND STAYING ON TRACK FOR HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION. OUR PSS TEACH KIDS INFORMATION THAT REALLY "STICKS;" A LESSON TAUGHT TODAY STAYS WITH OUR KIDS ALL WEEK AND IS SUPPORTED BY THE TEACHERS, LONG TERM. PSS SPEND FOUR AND A HALF DAYS PER WEEK ONSITE AT THEIR DESIGNATED SCHOOLS USING PROVEN CURRICULA FEATURING SOCIAL DECISION-MAKING LESSONS, WHICH RESEARCH DEMONSTRATES IS INSTRUMENTAL IN DECREASING BULLYING AND INCREASING A SENSE OF SELF-CONTROL--KEY FACTORS IN POSITIVE SELF ESTEEM. MANY OF OUR PSS GREW UP IN THE SAME NEIGHBORHOODS AS THE KIDS THEY SERVE AND ARE ABLE TO BUILD A UNIQUE RAPPORT WITH THEM. AS A RESULT, PSS ARE WELL POSITIONED TO IDENTIFY AT-RISK STUDENTS, PROVIDE EARLY INTERVENTION, AND MAKE KEY REFERRALS WHEN NECESSARY. CADEKIDS HAS STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT EVIDENCE OF EFFECTIVENESS. IN AN AUGUST 2010 STUDY OF 6,200 PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS AND 7,900 CONTROL GROUP STUDENTS, KATHERINE MEYERS FOUND "REMARKABLE" FY09 RESULTS FOR CADEKIDS' STUDENTS, CONCENTRATED IN PHILADELPHIA'S LOWEST-PERFORMING PUBLIC SCHOOLS. MIDDLE (MS) AND ELEMENTARY SCHOOL (ES) STUDENTS WHO PARTICIPATED IN CADEKIDS WERE: -SIGNIFICANTLY MORE LIKELY TO HAVE FRIENDS WHO DID NOT USE DRUGS (MS, 72%; ES, 74%), ALCOHOL (MS, 68%; ES, 81%), OR CIGARETTES (MS, 70%; ES, 71%), AFTER PARTICIPATING. -SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED APPROVAL OF HITTING BACK (MS, 59%; ES, 63%) PUSHING OTHERS AROUND (MS, 58%; ES, 32%), AND SAYING MEAN THINGS (MS, 59%; ES, 22%). PARTICIPANT SCHOOL ATTENDANCE RATES EXCEED THOSE OF THE CONTROL GROUP. ADDITIONALLY, GROUPS AT DISPROPORTIONATE RISK OF ACADEMIC FAILURE -SUCH AS BLACKS, LATINOS, ASIANS, AND THOSE WITH LIMITED ENGLISH PROFICIENCY-- IMPROVED MATH SCORES AT A GREATER RATE THAN THOSE SIMILARLY LIMITED WHO DID NOT PARTICIPATE IN CADEKIDS, AND INCREASED THEIR READING ACHIEVEMENT SIGNIFICANTLY MORE IF THEY PARTICIPATED. PARTICIPANTS GAVE OUR PROGRAM HIGH MARKS (AVERAGE, 82%), WOULD RECOMMEND CADEKIDS TO OTHER STUDENTS, AND FEEL THAT CADEKIDS TAUGHT THEM HOW TO AVOID FIGHTING AND VIOLENCE ABOUT SETTING GOALS FOR THE FUTURE. IN 2022-2023, AN IMPRESSIVE 99% OF TEACHERS AND SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS RATED CADEKIDS' CLASSROOM EFFECTIVENESS AS EXCELLENT (84%) OR GOOD (15%). 63% OF TEACHERS NOTED SPECIFIC BEHAVIOR IMPROVEMENTS IN THEIR CLASSROOM DURING THE PROGRAM. CADEKIDS STUDENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAM PROVIDED ASSESSMENTS OR SCREENERS FOR 207 STUDENTS WHO WERE IDENTIFIED AS NEEDING ADDITIONAL SUPPORTS IN AND AROUND SCHOOL. CAREGIVERS OF THESE STUDENTS WERE PROVIDED COMMUNITY BASED RECOMMENDATIONS FOR SERVICES AND OFFERED CADEKIDS CASE MANAGEMENT SERVICES TO HELP ALLEVIATE BARRIERS TO ENROLLMENT IN SERVICES. CADEKIDS OUT OF SCHOOL TIME INITIATIVE LAUNCHED WITH A SPRING AFTERSCHOOL PROGRAM AT A COMMUNITY CENTER IN KENSINGTON. PRE AND POST SURVEY DATA INDICATED IMPROVEMENTS IN STUDENTS POSITIVE FUTURE OUTLOOK, SELF-ESTEEM AND COMMUNICATION SKILLS. A LIBRARY SERIES AND SUMMER CAMP WERE ALSO OFFERED IN SUMMER OF 2023. WHILE CADEKIDS TRUE IMPACT IS FOUND IN IMMEASURABLE MOMENTS- WHEN A STUDENT USES A REFUSAL STRATEGY INSTEAD OF TRYING DRUGS OR WHEN A STUDENT APPLIES A COPING MECHANISM FOR STRESS BEFORE LASHING OUT- WE STRIVE TO INCREASE POSITIVE EXPERIENCES AND RESILIENCY SKILLS TO MITIGATE THE IMPACT OF ENVIRONMENTAL RISK FACTORS.
