The Starfish Foundation provides supplemental education to over 100 high-achieving youth living in extreme poverty in Guayaquil, Ecuador through grant funding to its Ecuadorian counterpart, Fundación Estrellitas del Mar, which provides three main programs - Scholarships, Tutoring, and Leadership Development. In-kind scholarships reduce the economic burden for attending school by providing necessary supplies such as uniforms, notebooks, and books. Tutoring, which includes homework help and supplemental classes, fills in gaps left by the under-resourced public school system and improves academic success. Leadership Development empowers students to give back and become leaders in their communities to ultimately break the cycle of poverty into which they were born. 0 X 143692 143692 Debra Arvanites Board Secretary, Officer 2 0 0 0 Lauren Carrig Board Treasurer, Officer 2 0 0 0 Kate Flores Board Member 2 0 0 0 Martin Garcia Board Member 2 0 0 0 Kaitlyn Hammel Board Member 2 0 0 0 Jerica Itterly Board Member 2 0 0 0 Kim John-Williams Board Member 2 0 0 0 Beth Mayr Board Member 2 0 0 0 Danny Newell Board Member 2 0 0 0 Purvi Patel Board Member 2 0 0 0 Sanchia Rodrigues Board Vice President, Officer 2 0 0 0 Erica Tonsi Board Member 2 0 0 0 Jan Van Huizen Board Member 2 0 0 0 Jenn Zocco Board President, Officer 20 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 CA CT MA MD NJ NY PA LAUREN CARRIG 1433 CHERRY LANE WEST CHESTER PA 19380 8602817647 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 233527 221033 202336 203775 177548 1038219 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 233527 221033 202336 203775 177548 1038219 360210 678009 53 2 1 2 1844 1902 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1040121 0 0.65186 0.6034 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 10 Starfish Foundation maintains records to substantiate the amount of its grants and other assistance, the grantees' eligibility for the grants or assistance, and the selection criteria used to award the grants or assistance.
