These visits are imperative, as they allow Scholars to envision what four years on a college campus would look and feel like. We have found, repeatedly, that it is the in-person visit to a campus that is a game-changer. A campus visit allows Scholars and their families to experience traveling to the school, the people who live and work there, and the actual learning environment on campus. 92914 77972 CARE/COLLEGE For Scholars in college 100-150 students, CCF provides resources not covered by their financial aid applications that promote success in higher education like financing textbooks, lab fees, dorm items, tutoring, airfare to and from school, emergencies, laundry expenses and undergraduate and graduate school enrollment fees. 107727 79704 427550 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false true true false false false true false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false 8 0 true 0 false false false false false true true false false false false false false 9 7 false false false false false false false true true false false false true true false false false true true false AL X JOSEPHINE LOWERY 2054014212 1616 WELLINGTON ROAD HOMEWOOD AL 35209 JOSEPHINE LOWERY EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 040.00 X X X 40000 0 0 BARRY SMITH SECRETARY/RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR 020.00 X X 0 13750 0 LORI BATEMAN DIRECTOR 001.00 X 0 0 0 TIM BEMBRY DIRECTOR 001.00 X 0 0 0 SHARON BROACH DIRECTOR 001.00 X 0 0 0 JULIE GENTRY VICE PRESIDENT 010.00 X X 0 0 0 NANCY HALE DIRECTOR 001.00 X 0 0 0 CASSANDRA JOSEPH DIRECTOR 004.00 X X 0 0 0 CARL THOMAS PRESIDENT 004.00 X 0 0 0 JENNIFER WALLACE TREASURER 002.00 X X 0 0 0 DENYSE THORNLEY-BROWN DIRECTOR 004.00 X 0 0 0 40000 13750 false false false 53604 20000 469413 67525 543017 124 6529 53604 17730 -11201 531940 0 344158 344158 0 0 64981 55901 3249 5831 0 0 0 0 2564 2180 128 256 0 2990 2990 5063 5063 0 0 21942 16146 120 5676 433 433 8420 2585 5835 1610 1130 480 0 3170 3170 79 79 0 0 0 0 16 14 1 1 7220 7220 FUNDRAISING EXPENSES 12786 12786 DUES SUBSCRIPTIONS 3566 3566 MISC 8114 6566 1500 48 0 487112 427550 34051 25511 39514 77220 100000 139138 1988 1988 16 139530 216358 32000 0 32000 X 137030 167358 2500 17000 139530 184358 139530 216358 44828 X true X false false false X 29048 173957 411542 431694 543017 1589258 29048 173957 411542 431694 543017 1589258 1589258 124 124 20428 30339 8203 7684 6529 73183 1662565 0.95590 0.91950 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED false 1988 1988 Financial derivatives and other financial products Closely-held equity interests Federal income taxes X X X X false AL WILD WEST ROUNDUP 48365 41836 6529 3200 8275 1000 5255 HOLIDAY CAMPAIGN 11768 11768 1 60133 53604 6529 3200 8275 1000 5255 17730 -11201 true CAMPS, COLLEGE ADMISSIONS AND PREPARATORY 64 75323 14698 FMV ACT ESSAY COACHING, APPLICATION FEES AND TRAVEL EXPENSES TO VISIT COLLEGE CAMPUSES STIPEND FOR MISCELANEOUS EXPENSES NOT COVERED BY SCHOLARS FINANCIAL AID PACKAGE 149 162172 18400 FMV CLOTHING, SCHOOL SUPPLIES, TRANSPORATION, LODGING LAPTOP COMPUTERS, LAPTOP DESKS AND DORM DECOR 81 59263 14302 FMV LAPTOP DESKS AND DORM DECOR true X X false false false false false false false false false X 16070 X 2 4050 X 6 20200 X 14 13700 X TRANSPORTATION 9 9384 FAIR MARKET VALUE X GIFT CARDS 24 4121 false false false Form 990, Part III, Line 4d Program Service Expenses 107,727, Grants and allocations 79,704, Revenue 0 SEE SCHEDULE O Form 990, Part III, Line 4D ADDITIONAL PROGRAMS INCLUDE ENRICHMENT, EPIC CAMP, RECRUITMENT, SOAR CAMP AND TECHNOLOGY
