Overview
Mission
About Us: evolutionforward is an education network (nonprofit) dedicated to promoting, protecting, and advancing the health and wellbeing of children and their families directly (e.g. programs) and indirectly (e.g. research). Our interdisciplinary group was formed for the purpose of improving child-caretaker 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).
What it reported doing in 2025
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 and partners who offer various educational opportunities. We try to showcase their expertise and contributions via individual and group profiles on platforms like Instagram, our newsletter, and live events thereby fostering connection, highlighting diverse voices, and making high quality opportunities as accessible as possible to the public at low or no cost.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
STRONG - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of total spending goes to programs. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
