Voices convenes and fosters collaborations, brings stakeholders together to develop strategies to improve the quality of life of children, focusing on early care and education, prevention of child abuse, neglect and mitigaing trauma. Early Care and Education Training Initiative: This program supports non-parental caregivers who spend most waking hours nearly everyday with almost half of all young children: childcare professionals. Minimally educated and compensated, often bringing to their work a high degree of trauma themselves, they are critical in preventing and mitigating childhood trauma and promoting socio-emotional skills that support healthy non-violent behavior as well as school success. Over several years of "action advocacy" to improve childcare, it is apparent that these critical "early observers" of babies and young children could be engaged and empowered as partners in prevention as well, influencing socioemotional as well as cognitive development, and in mitigating the impact of trauma. Voices' Early Care and Education Training Initiative, providing high quality free professional development to childcare educators, has grown since 2012 in numbers reached--in the thousands, estimated to impact ten children each--in scope. During 2023, the Organization was unable to hold this program event for lack of funding. 0 0 Congress on Children: This program is normally offered every year on the last Friday in September as a community service. With community sponsors, registration is $20 per attendee for an all-day event including meals, materials and CEU's as needed, ensuring that this event is accessible to a broad and diverse audience. Congress on Children brings together over 400 local children's advocates, practitioners, researchers, and the general public to hightlight current or emerging issues, research, findings, legislation, and programs, promoting practices that strengthen families and support children's wellbeing. Nationally known and exceptional speakers every year focus on the most pressing community issues that Voices and our many partners will be working on in the coming months and years. During 2023, the Organization was unable to hold this annual program event for lack of funding. 0 0 0 Gregory Hudspeth Chair 2.00 0 0 0 Betty Berchelmann Secretary 0.50 0 0 0 George Block Director 0.50 0 0 0 Ricardo Cedillo Director 0.50 0 0 0 Adrian Grant Director 0.50 0 0 0 Sue Hancock Director 0.50 0 0 0 Robin Howard Director 0.50 0 0 0 Francisco Martinez Director 0.50 0 0 0 Priti Laxmi Director 0.50 0 0 0 Mandie Svatek Director 0.50 0 0 0 Eric Wilson Director 0.50 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Gregory Hudspeth PhD Chair 1707 Palmer View San Antonio TX 78260 2108613304 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 346520 174879 315261 126351 5000 968011 346520 174879 315261 126351 5000 968011 307310 660701 968011 135903 0.68250 0.69340 X Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16 - Other Expenses Description: Bank fees, insurance, office, office services. Amount: 3,813. Form 990-EZ Part I, Lines 1 through 21 and Part II, Lines 22 through 27 During 2023, the Organization did not receive any significant grants or contributions. The loss of funding was due primarily to the IRS mistakenly revoking the Organization's exempt status effective May 31, 2021 for the apparent failure to file Form 990 for three consecutive years (2018, 2019 and 2020). Subsequent to the revocation, the IRS determined that the Organization had timely filed the 2018 Form 990 and timely extended the due date of the 2020 Form 990 to November 15, 2021 (and timely filed the 2020 Form 990). As a result of the revocation and, the Organization lost all of its funding until June 16, 2022 when the IRS reinstated the Organization's exempt status. The program staff left in 2022 due to the lost of funding. The CEO continued to work until late 2022 when she departed. The Board has been operating the Organization since that time. Currently, the Board of Directors is assessing the ability of the Organization to continue to operate. No significant funds have been raised. The Board is waiting for proceeds from an Employer Retention Credit to be received but the entity responsible for filing the application and receiving the proceeds has not remitted Retention Credit amount. The Board will continue to pursue receiving the Employer Retention Credits and then will consider whether to continue the Organization's mission or conduct an orderly winding up of the Organization's affairs.
