Our interdisciplinary group was formed for the purpose of improving child-parent wellbeing and educational equity in the United States (U.S.) and outlying territories. Activities and programs are designed to support children and families who are at predictable risk for deleterious outcomes and to mobilize intergenerational, multicultural family and community resilience. Focus Areas: Network leaders collaborate to develop, guide, and/or participate in small-scale, high-impact projects based on scientific evidence that promote healthy child development (e.g., education, neuroscience), parent wellbeing (e.g., public health, social determinants), and the establishment of non-violence as the norm in the U. S. (e.g. healing, culture). Creating and Distributing Educational Materials & Leadership Promotion: evolutionforward continued its commitment to open access education by creating and distributing a range of resources for parents, professionals, and young people. Leveraging digital platforms, including social media, email, and our website, we shared vital insights on topics such as intergenerational wellbeing and non-violence. A key element of this program involved promoting our network leaders through unique original artwork, showcasing their expertise and contributions via individual profiles on platforms like Instagram, thereby fostering connection and highlighting diverse voices within the field. 0 9500 Dance & Learn Community Events: Building on our pilot program, evolutionforward expanded its interactive "Dance & Learn" initiative to community events in key urban centers such as Chicago and Boston. These all-ages gatherings utilized movement and creative expression as accessible tools for exploring themes of non-violence and positive social interaction. By engaging directly with diverse communities, these events aimed to foster a culture of safety and understanding through participatory experiences that promote both physical and emotional wellbeing. 0 12000 Children's Book & Associated Activities: A significant program focus in 2024 involved the ongoing development of our children's book project. This included not only the writing and illustrating phases but also the launch of associated story times and engaging activities designed to promote early learning and positive family interactions. These initiatives aimed to directly support children's development and strengthen the parent-child bond through accessible and enriching storytelling experiences. 0 10000 Strategic Partnership Development: evolutionforward dedicated resources to cultivating strategic partnerships with organizations operating in relevant geographies and on a national scale. These collaborations are crucial for amplifying our impact and advancing our shared goals in child-parent wellbeing and educational equity. By forging strong alliances with like-minded entities, we aimed to create a more comprehensive and effective network to support children and families at predictable risk, and to mobilize community resilience across diverse settings. 0 5000 36500 Allyson Elizabeth Crawford president, officer 30 25000 0 0 Roger Dean Vernon secretary & vice president 1 0 0 0 Felipe Tendick-Matesanz treasurer, officer 1 0 0 0 Barbara Simpson Epps trustee 0.2 0 0 0 Michele Kilpatrick trustee 0.5 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NY Allyson Elizabeth Crawford 1020 Grand Concourse 12FF Bronx NY 10451 3478710451 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 3000 50000 53000 0 0 0 3000 50000 53000 53000 512 512 0 0 0 3000 50512 53512 X Schedule A, Part III, Line 12 Inventory sales and other misc income RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 8 Returns, petty cash, misc Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 10 Amounts paid to program partners for various puposes Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16 Program Supplies Legal & Insurance Google Domains & G-Suite; Brevo email software; RSS feed host (podcast) Food & Beverage (meetings), Adobe design software, flights & flight fees, Conference Fees & Professional Association Memberships, Subscriptions & Publication Purchases (SquareSpace), Bank & Filing Fees
