The effects of summer learning loss are cumulative, and its compounding impact is responsible for much of the reading achievement gap. Book Up Summer addresses this problem, reaching approximately 23,638 students in kindergarten through second grade from high-poverty elementary schools, and giving them 12 books each to read during summer vacation. Giving children their choice of books furnishes them with the resources and incentive necessary to read during the summer, avoid the summer learning loss phenomenon, and ultimately helping to narrow the achievement gap. 111451 57429 12131 Story Leaders: Over the course of a year, low-income children hear 8 million fewer words than children from affluent families. Story Leaders aims to close this word gap by facilitating literacy training and access to books for families whose children could gain the most from the program. Page Ahead partners with ECEAP and Head Start classrooms to provide early literacy training for teachers, new books for children, and home reading support for families. During the 2024-25 school year, 1,739 students received nearly 15,070 new books. 80139 16991 0 Books for Kids: Providing access to books for children in need is a proven way to increase the amount of time they spend reading. Page Ahead's original flagship program, Books for Kids, reached 2,153 children in need with 2,700 new, high-quality, age-appropriate books in 2024-25. To efficiently reach the children most in need, Page Ahead collaborates with preschools, elementary schools, and social service agencies across Washington State. Page Ahead provides a wide variety of books through fun, motivational reading events. Empowering children to make their own choices ensures that each child has reading material suited to their individual interest. 24931 20423 0 Book Oasis: In high-income communities, there are about 13 books for every child; in high-poverty communities, there is one book for every 300 children. These neighborhoods are considered book deserts, and the children who live in them have a much harder time accessing the appropriate reading material they need to become strong readers. Book Oasis builds and places specially designed little free libraries in neighborhood book deserts and stocks them with great new children's books for kids to access freely. Volunteers monitor each oasis and restock them monthly. In 2024-2025, Page Ahead volunteers stocked 19 Book Oasis libraries with 6,311 new children's books through the program. 27644 0 0 Story Times: Trained volunteers bring reading fun and inspiration to preschool and kindergarten age children in the Puget Sound area and Spokane. 20933 0 0 Volunteer Services: Page Ahead volunteers conduct book drives, read with children, and sort and pack books for program sites. 73508 20423 0 1387779 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 5 0 1 6 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 12 12 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 X X X Susan Dibble 2064610123 1130 NW 85th Street Seattle WA 98117 Susan Dibble Executive Director 40 0 X 133535 0 13862 Arden Leland President 2 0 X X 0 0 0 Briony Pentecost Vice-President 2 0 X X 0 0 0 Suann Harris Secretary 2 0 X X 0 0 0 Ying Zhao Treasurer 2 0 X X 0 0 0 Indrani Bhattacharjee Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Mark Fitzgerald Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Lydia Islan Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Holly Koelling Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Nicole Lightner Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Teresa Osborn Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Emily Rondestvedt Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Kirsten Scheide Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 133535 0 13862 1 0 0 0 0 17578 0 226237 0 0 927551 49622 1171366 Program Share 900099 176491 176491 0 0 0 0 0 0 176491 21558 0 0 21558 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 29904 226237 93230 -63326 0 -63326 0 1306089 176491 0 -41768 1049053 1049053 138717 73438 48959 16320 167612 121648 16197 29767 4184 3309 423 452 12978 6332 3175 3471 22554 14762 4654 3138 31315 31315 1681 776 905 2292 2292 50399 21890 14602 13907 8619 639 767 7213 104146 90541 10329 3276 7540 4779 578 2183 689 612 77 2077 2077 1177 1177 Bad Debt Expense 1480 0 1480 0 1606513 1387779 136715 82019 19003 72636 741157 345750 15900 51149 13651 10209 64736 61820 4558 8079 49132 45552 4098 3580 135225 67620 998328 620843 18291 13585 2800 518 138300 68227 159391 82330 X 732155 404290 106782 134223 838937 538513 998328 620843 -300424 0 0 0 0 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 1094686 1079312 1526196 1154832 1171366 6026392 1094686 1079312 1526196 1154832 1171366 6026392 883510 5142882 3727 2124 9354 26216 21558 62979 21827 19138 40965 6130336 813528 0.83892 0.85472 X Schedule A, Part II, Line 10 Miscellaneous Revenue in 2021 and 2022 RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 100000 0 0 0 0 0 100000 100000 0 0 0 0 0 100000 100000 0 0 0 0 0 100000 100000 0 0 0 0 0 100000 100000 0 0 0 0 0 100000 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 49132 45552 3580 0 0 0 0 3580 Right of Use Assets - Leases 61971 Security Deposit 5649 67620 0 Operating Lease - Current 68227 68227 1369415 0 0 0 63326 63326 1306089 0 0 0 1306089 1669839 0 0 0 63326 63326 1606513 0 0 0 1606513 Schedule D, Part V, Line 4 Schedule D, Part V, Line 4 - The endowment funds are permanently restricted and all principal must be retained.
