Overview

Mission

We promote elevating literacy through early identification of struggling readers, effective reading interventions and appropriate classroom accommodations. We provide resources and support to families with struggling readers, particularly those identified as dyslexic.

What it reported doing in 2024

Pc reads elevates literacy through early identification of neurodiverse students for whom reading is challenging and advocates for effective reading interventions and appropriate classroom accommodations. We provided resources and support to families with students who are struggling to learn to read, particularly those identified as dyslexic, through our advocate program, mind youth program and elevating literacy program. During the 2024-2025 fiscal year, our advocate program provided direct services to 109 students from 94 families and completed 52 dyslexia screenings. Advocates also participated in outreach events. Our mind youth program included 16 mind mentors who met 6 times during the year. We hosted 4 mind programs, with participation ranging from 20 to over 100 participants. Our elevating literacy program included 2 community events (raising a reader, 42 participants and gaining a better understanding of adhd with dr. Ned hallowell, 275 attendees), a professional development program featuring brett conway (90 participants), and our summer reading program (109 registrants).

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 99% 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 available resources goes toward mission work. Expenses are high relative to revenue and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
