Overview
Mission
Train and support grassroots parent groups across the country to hold schools accountable for delivering evidence-based reading instruction for all students.
What it reported doing in 2024
Win 1: we formed upper arlington kids identified with dyslexia, or ua-kid, and secured appropriate educational services for our children with dyslexia in upper arlington, oh. We formed the dyslexia task force and now work shoulder to shoulder with the district to bring evidence-based reading instruction to all our school district's children. Win 2: we built a state-wide grassroots coalition, Ohio kids identified with dyslexia (oh- kid), to organize parent groups in Ohio to secure educational services for all our children with dyslexia. We have more than 25 Ohio parent group members representing over 185,000 students. Oh-kid was instrumental in passing the latest Ohio dyslexia legislation and securing the Ohio state board of education's approval of the Ohio dyslexia guidebook. We have also helped create and mentor statewide parent groups in Colorado (co-kid) and Illinois (ielc).
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 94% 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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and expenses are high relative to revenue.
