Each year TLC receives donations at a variety of levels; regardless of the amount, each familys donation is greatly appreciated. The annual appeal runs from October through the end of the fiscal year in June. But because the donations are tax deductible, we remind families about this appeal toward the end of the calendar year, as some families like to factor charitable giving into their holiday or tax preparation plans. Contributions to the annual appeal are welcomed at any time of year. Donate Your DepositWhen your child leaves The Learning Center, you have the opportunity to make a tax deductible donation of all or part of the original deposit you made when enrolling in the program. This request allows for an opportunity to reflect on the impact TLC has had on your child as they move on to the next phase in their education. 974630 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false true false false false true false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 6 0 true 14 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 5 5 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true false false CA X Carol Sheetz 6503256683 459 Kingsley Ave Palo Alto CA 94301 Paula Evans-Fitch Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 121315 0 12046 Evelyn Brosi Semenza President 0.70 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Jan Jaap Bezemer Treasurer 0.60 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Ann Payne Secretary 0.60 0.00 X X 0 0 0 McHale Newport-Berra Board Member 0.30 0.00 X 0 0 0 Sokki Chen Board Member 0.30 0.00 X 0 0 0 121315 12046 1 false false false 0 43641 418 43641 Other program fees 900099 11200 11200 Tuition 611600 1109745 1109745 1120945 100017 100017 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Other 900099 256 256 256 1264859 1120945 100273 0 13826 13826 0 0 136147 13336 122811 0 521168 521168 2592 2592 107712 107712 51068 45961 5107 0 0 9160 9160 0 0 0 15334 14334 1000 0 8865 3494 5121 250 0 0 139182 130831 8351 2699 2429 270 0 1283 1283 0 0 8756 7168 1588 7332 7332 Meals and groceries 52062 52062 Program supplies and other exp 41137 18280 22857 Janitorial & sanitizing svcs 31800 29892 1908 Repairs & maintenance 10917 10262 655 0 1161040 974630 186160 250 183818 120032 1075420 0 0 672 3020 0 0 0 0 21105 15546 312082 291753 29074 20329 134649 1310086 0 0 0 0 1444738 1469013 29942 67388 22306 8826 202343 98833 254591 175047 X 1126394 944039 63753 349927 1190147 1293966 1444738 1469013 103819 X false false false X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 302979 282650 20329 9103 9103 20329 Tuition deposits 98833 98833 true true true true true true true false false false false false false false false false false true Schedule E, Line 3 - Racially Nondiscriminatory Policy Publicized Website has policy under philosophy - www.tlcpaloalto.org Schedule E, Line 4 - Explanation of Records and Materials Not Maintained Schedule E, Line 5 - Explanation of Organization Discrimination by Race true 0 0 Tuition assistance 1 13826 Grantmaker's Description of How Grants are Used An outside service is used for the Organization's tuition assistance.
