We help our youth build resilience to Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and prepare them for life opportunities, including post-high school education and employment. We also provide enrichment opportunities to introduce youth to new experiences and situations they may not otherwise have, leading to new skills and even careers. Through our work we build self-esteem and character so that our youth become contributing citizens in our community. We also work closely with the families of our youth, many of whom frequently struggle with hunger, unstable housing, poor transportation, and low-wage employment. While we cannot solve these problems, we make referrals to other agencies who can assist and stand with our families through the process of application and subsequent action. 0 0 184036 0 194519 Afterschool Program: We bring Pre-K to 12th grade students from their schools to our facility using our own minibuses to deliver academic assistance, to build social-emotional skills, and to provide enrichment experiences. Included in our program are healthy snacks, tutoring, remedial academic assistance, field trips, mentoring, spiritual development, physical activities, and collaborations with other organizations to offer a variety of additional programs and experiences. We work closely with schoolteachers and counselors, family members, and our students to identify academic and social-emotional goals which are the tracked though our program year. 4482 0 5000 Family Support: While youth are our focus, we also work with the families of our students providing education, supplementing food resources when needed, and guiding them to other community resources depending on their needs. We also offer periodic Family Night dinners to provide a meal, deliver training, offer family-oriented activities, and encourage fellowship amongst our network of participants. In addition, we provide enrichment activities for the students and frequently have adults from their families join us. 3258 0 9039 Pride for Parents Christmas Store: Each year we open a "pop-up" Christmas Store to offer new toys and games to our families and others in the community who are not able to provide for their children during the holidays. We offer the items at prices substantially discounted from retail, often as much as a 75% reduction. Merchandise is purchased by our organization and donated by our supporters to stock the store. This past year we served approximately 200 families with 470 children who purchased over 1,100 gifts, providing a "hand-up" rather than the "hand-out" approach offered by other organizations. As a result, our families take pride in paying for the gifts they select and can afford, and enjoy the love, fellowship, and community of our team and volunteers. 0 0 0 191776 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 2 0 1 3 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 10 10 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 NC X India Williams 9193328720 PO Box 14596 Raleigh NC 27620 Joseph Burmester Executive Director 40 0 X 48960 0 0 Jewel Almond Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Soniya Felder Board Mamber 1 0 X 0 0 0 Ruby Freeman Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Valerie Hubard Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Victor Jones Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 India Williams Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Vielka Gabriel Board President 3 0 X 0 0 0 Duncan Jennings Board Vice President 1 0 X 0 0 0 Hans Linnartz Board Secretary 2 0 X 0 0 0 Jack Moore Board Treasurer 1 0 X 0 0 0 48960 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 249 206777 0 207026 0 0 0 0 0 1532 1532 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 208558 1532 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 48960 36720 4896 7344 0 0 0 0 89738 85251 1795 2692 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 25245 22200 1218 1827 0 0 0 0 450 0 450 0 2196 0 2196 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 131 0 131 0 20 0 0 20 8419 5894 1010 1515 190 152 19 19 0 0 0 0 11175 10616 559 0 904 904 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2457 2211 246 0 4297 2685 1612 0 Direct program expenses 16679 16679 0 0 Fundraising fees 1449 0 0 1449 Motor vehicle expenses and repairs 8464 8464 0 0 Property taxes 90 0 90 0 1 0 1 0 220865 191776 14223 14866 46712 57799 56193 37585 11755 2994 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1617 1479 37036 33066 6428 3970 13349 13349 0 0 0 0 0 0 1983 2544 138037 119720 7123 6114 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 6319 13442 6114 X 114595 107106 10000 6500 124595 113606 138037 119720 -12307 0 0 0 1318 0 X 0 0 0 X 176841 217583 193435 240950 207026 1035835 2994 0 0 0 0 2994 179835 217583 193435 240950 207026 1038829 3628 1799 3541 3250 7715 19933 0 0 0 0 0 0 3628 1799 3541 3250 7715 19933 1018896 6 2 152 1234 1532 2926 6 2 152 1234 1532 2926 179841 217585 193587 242184 208558 1041755 0.97806 0.97889 0.00281 0.00136 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 457 457 0 0 36579 32609 3970 0 0 0 0 3970 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b Form 990 for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2024, was prepared by the Executive Director serving at that time using financial documents and other materials previously submitted to and approved by the Board of Directors. The Form 990 was submitted to the Treasurer and the current Executive Director for review. The complete Form 990 was subsequently delivered to the full Board of Directors for review and approval which was received prior to submission to the IRS. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15 Executive Director and Program Director compensation is reviewed by the Board of Directors each year as part of the annual budgeting process. Compensation for other staff is determined by the Executive Director and reported to the Board, also as part of the annual budgeting process. The Board of Directors includes individuals who are active in our local community with other nonprofit organizations. Those relationships allow them to understand comparable compensation levels as they set the annual budget. For the fiscal year included in this Form 990, that analysis was completed and the compensation levels set at the March 2023 Board of Directors meeting. The Executive Director for the organization during the fiscal year ending May 31, 2024, announced his retirement to the Board of Directors in January 2024. As the Board was considering replacement options, Loaves and Fishes was also presented with the opportunity to acquire a similar organization. During the review of that organization and the discussion of benefits to both organizations, it was determined that the acquisition would proceed effective July 1, 2024, and that the Executive Director of the acquired organization would be appointed as the Executive Director, also effective July 1, 2024. A review of compensation for the new Executive Director, the Program Director, and the combined staff was completed and approved at the May 2024 Board of Directors meeting. Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19 The governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements of Loaves and Fishes are available to the public upon request. They are frequently provided to supporting organizations including churches, local civic and community organizations, businesses, and foundations as part of ongoing fundraising efforts. Summary financial information is provided to our general donor community in annual fundraising campaigns. Financial statements and governing documents have not been posted on public places such as our website or social media sites but would be provided to interested parties upon request to the Executive Director or the Board of Directors.
