We conduct and disseminate important research to understand the current landscape of higher education, build diverse coalitions of allies around specific policy issue areas, develop policy solutions and advocate for their adoption at the federal level, as well as the state level in California and Michigan. Our programmatic work spans areas critical for college access, affordability, and success, particularly for students from historically marginalized communities. Our program work aims to strengthen student financial aid, increase federal support for public higher education, simplify the student loan repayment system, expand comprehensive college support strategies that improve student success, and improving access and completion of postsecondary credentials for students from minoritized and poverty impacted communities. We also seek to ensure colleges are held appropriately accountable for student outcomes, and that students have the information they need to make informed decisions about where to go to college and how to pay for it. Over the course of 2023, TICAS fought for stronger regulations to protect borrowers, students, and taxpayers from waste, fraud, and abuse; led efforts to advance federal regulations that would help more students cross the finish line and strengthen financial aid; and worked to advance policies that remove barriers to postsecondary education from public programs that provide basic needs supports. In 2023, TICAS supported a $500 increase in the maximum Pell Grant, worked to increase federal funds to support students to completion, promoted efforts to protect students from fraud and abuse in the higher education sector, and sought to reduce food insecurity for students. Our work in California and Michigan brought investments in state grant aid for the neediest students and supported FAFSA completion. TICAS coalition efforts help promote college affordability at the state and federal level across the country, and we continue to promote public policies that will ensure college remains in reach for the next generation of students without having to take on burdensome debt. 4610681 true true false true false false false false false false false false false true true true true false false false false false false false false false false true true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 30 0 true 29 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 9 8 false false true false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false CA DC PA X Cynthia Schaal 5103187900 1300 Clay St Ste 1020 Oakland CA 94612 Sameer Gadkaree President 40.00 0.00 X X 236900 0 11 Cynthia Schaal CFO/COO 40.00 0.00 X 196700 0 7828 Jessica Thompson Vice President 40.00 0.00 167870 0 6917 Kyle Southern Associate VP HEQ 40.00 0.00 139050 0 14629 Carrie Welton Sr Dir Pol & Adv 40.00 0.00 126554 0 23720 Chris Lechuga Assoc VP of Ext Af 40.00 0.00 127200 0 21727 Onjila Odeneal Sr Dr Pol & Adv MI 40.00 0.00 130000 0 14267 Zakiya Smith Ellis Chairman 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Rosa Armendariz Secretary 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Pam Eddinger Vice Chair 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Michael Deich Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Frank Chong Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Zaldwaynaka Scott Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Tracie D Hall Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Angela Hanks Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Dan Greenstein Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 1124274 89099 13 false true false Tanya Garcia 1152 Mae St No 148 Hummelstown PA 17036 Research & communications 131801 1 4877896 4877896 Other fees for service 900099 56866 56866 56866 138996 138996 0 0 92499 92499 92499 92499 0 0 0 0 Other 900099 881 881 881 5167138 56866 232376 X 75367 75367 240000 240000 0 0 421469 314112 48017 59340 0 2263760 2018581 165351 79828 82229 74263 5434 2532 453748 407308 33685 12755 222122 199387 16490 6245 0 360 360 21605 21605 94751 94751 0 0 571117 555145 15470 502 9 9 61187 49753 11084 350 80453 76668 3297 488 0 271055 150169 119230 1656 193956 163292 30143 521 0 123452 110248 13144 60 0 0 36000 36000 8682 8682 Dues, subscrip, service fees 47116 45628 1207 281 0 5268438 4610681 493199 164558 846791 871757 5083580 4861683 0 53214 53027 0 0 0 0 58491 65283 0 0 0 0 60500 24500 652399 474294 6754975 6350544 173032 189259 10000 225000 1577 670256 564321 1068288 765157 X 1190368 1367016 4496319 4218371 5686687 5585387 6754975 6350544 -101300 X false true X true false X 2813120 1622776 4694687 4517228 4877896 18525707 0 0 2813120 1622776 4694687 4517228 4877896 18525707 11811593 6714114 39237 8683 1988 23365 110388 183661 0 8841 5795 393 766 881 16676 18726044 377110 0.35850 0.36070 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED false false 1118 115677 116795 5151643 5268438 413422 103356 false 293067 328120 333080 413422 1367689 2051534 85678 116795 202473 73267 82030 83270 103356 341923 512885 934 3969 739 1118 6760 Right of use -operating lease 474294 474294 Operating lease liability 564321 564321 X 5167138 5167138 5167138 5268438 5268438 5268438 Part X : FIN48 Footnote The Internal Revenue Service and the California Franchise Tax Board have determined that the Organization is exempt from federal and state income taxes under IRC 501(c)(3) and California RTC 23701(d).
