Student Voice's work is driven by the belief that in order to achieve equity in schools, power must be meaningfully shifted towards young people most marginalized by the education system.Student Voices public support percentage for the five-year period ended December 31, 2024, was approximately 23%.Student Voice, Inc. maintained a continuous and bona fide program for solicitation of funds from the general public and the community of people interested in students' contributions to their own educational environment. It has relied on funding sources from nonprofit, philanthropic, and corporate grants and donations as well as from individual contributions. Beginning September 2022, and continuing into 2024, they engaged outside contractors to assist with evaluation of the effectiveness of their programs in advancing the organizations mission and paused some programming as part of this discovery process around programming, operations, and structure. This work resulted in the decision to begin the dissolution process in 2024. As part of that process Student Voice has identified a successor organization whose mission and programming closely aligns with that of Student Voice. This successor organization will continue Student Voice programming activity and solicit funds in support of that mission. While Student Voice will no longer be actively soliciting support, donor inquiries are being directed to the successor organization.Public support is approximately 23%, which is well above the 10% minimum, and is approximately the same as their 2023 percentage. The reason the public support percentage is about the same as 2023 is due to a continued decrease in funding from private foundations who have been supporting their overall mission and program expansion costs since Student Voice is planning to dissolve in 2025 but began that process in 2024.Student Voice's support for the five-year period ended December 31, 2024, came from a variety of unrelated individuals, organizations, and foundations. Support in 2024 came from 2 donors: one individual and the US government (Employee Retention Credit awarded as part of COVID relief).The population served by Student Voice, Inc. consists of students who tend to be young, and therefore do not have the means to give significant amounts, so gifts from this population are small.The Student Voice, Inc. board is comprised of a group of students and educational leaders from a variety of lived experiences in the United States school system and in the field of educational equity, representing a broad cross-section of the community. The board members are spread throughout the United States, representing multiple geographic areas, and cultural backgrounds.Student Voice, Inc. provided services to the general public by creating opportunities for students to address educational equity throughout the educational nonprofit field and the public education system by participation in our various programs. Educational equity is a social justice concern that impacts everyone.Student Voice, Inc. did not conduct any programs in 2024 outside of awarding a grant to the successor organization to conduct mission aligned work, as presented on Part III of the Form 990-EZ. Beginning September 2022, and continuing into 2024, they engaged outside contractors to assist with evaluation of the effectiveness of their programs in advancing the organization's mission and paused some programming as part of this discovery process around programming, operations, and structure. This work resulted in the decision to begin the dissolution and winding down process in 2024 and the identification of a successor organization that aligns with the mission and programming of Student Voice.Student Voice, Inc. has received $60,000 over the last five years from two different public charities and both of them required reporting on the quantitative and qualitative accomplishments of the programs funded.

This work resulted in the decision to begin the dissolution process in 2024. As part of that process Student Voice has identified a successor organization, Kentucky Student Voice, whose mission and programming closely aligns with that of Student Voice.
