We successfully host fundraisers within our community and offer grants to the education staff to apply for innovative learning for their classrooms. We typically host three fundraisers a year. We offer the grant application process annually. We award these grants typically in November. We strive to continue successful fundraisers allowing our grant award process to grow. Our foundation is focused on one program service which is offering grants to educators for our local school district to provide innovative learning. The grants awarded during this timeframe benefited four school campuses at least 30 educators and over 300 students.2024 Grant Awards: Bridging Language Barriers 6,299.91 Lego Education to Build Problem Solvers & Thinkers 6,598.65 Exploring Through Experiments 1,355.91 2nd Grade Stem Labs 5,037.00 New Calculators for RJH Future Mathematicians 6,220.00 Physical Education Enrichment Equipment 1,379.32 Kindle the Spark: Igniting Reading in the Classroom 1,034.90 Letters Alive- Zoo Keeper 5,242.06 Shaping Success-Boosting Algebra 1,349.94 Physical Demonstration Program 2,040.00 UKE CAN DO IT 2,492.49 Kinesthetic Learning for Literacy 4,095.00 Technology for RJH A V Productions 1,497.99 Empowering Student Learning- Lecture Capture Technology 457.95 Book Vending Machine 7,601.00 52702 0 Karah Boyd Vice President of Finance & Governa 1.5 0 0 0 Brandon Roberts President 2 0 0 0 Denita Young Vice President of Development 2 0 0 0 Megan Lawrence Vice President of Programs 2 0 0 0 Bekah Medders Vice President of Marketing & Event 2 0 0 0 Cody Beaver Board Member 1 0 0 0 Nathaniel Hooten Board Member 1 0 0 0 Jim Tayler Board Member 1 0 0 0 Jean Moize Secretary 1 0 0 0 William Moize Board Member 1 0 0 0 false false false false false false false false false TX Karah Boyd 2446 Rs County Road 1325 Emory TX 75440 9038208602 false false false false false false false false false false false NONE NONE true X 0 2400 2613 8798 140587 154398 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2400 2613 8798 140587 154398 10912 143486 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 154398 0 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Purse Event Fall 2024 59098 59098 0 0 9859 250 4250 700 1058 Purse Event Fall 2025 37553 37553 0 3384 0 250 4480 0 1658 1 33029 33029 0 3908 0 730 2000 0 839 129680 129680 0 7292 9859 1230 10730 700 3555 33366 -33366 Part I, line 10 | Activity:, Grantee Name:, Grantee Address:, Amount:, Relationship:| Educational Grants, Rains ISD, "1759 W US Hwy 69 Emory TX 75440", $54902.00, None| Part I, line 16 | Other Expenses:, Amount:| Website expenses, $146.00| Insurance, $838.00| Merchant Fees, $42.00| Supplies, $566.00| The late filing of the Form 990-EZ was due to circumstances beyond the filers control. The organization made a good-faith effort to timely file an extension prior to the original due date. The extension Form 8868 that was filed on 1 14 26 for Rains ISD Education Foundation was prepared and postmarked in January; however at that time the IRS Electronic filing system was experiencing a shutdown outage. As a result the extension could not be transmitted and was ultimately rejected once the system resumed normal operations. Because of the IRS system unavailability the filer was unable to successfully submit the extensions despite timely preparation and intent to comply. Upon learning that the extension had not been accepted the organization promptly proceeded with filing the Form 990-EZ as soon as the system became available. The organization has a history of timely compliance and did not willfully neglect its filing obligations. The delay was caused solely by IRS system issues not by disregard of filing requirements. Accordingly the filer respectfully requests abatement of any late-filing penalties based on reasonable cause.
