TFS provides Common Core-aligned STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and math) and literacy activities to help participants apply math and reading concepts, increase exposure to science, and develop critical thinking skills. Students also participate in life skills activities, college and career explorations, and enrichment clubs. TFS parent engagement program supports parents and guardians actively engaging in their students academic development. We served up to 275 youth and their families at three partner schools during the 2022-23 school year. The Fishing Schools (TFS) summer camp is a high quality, intensive program, offered at no cost to our students and families, in which participants receive five weeks of support to build and maintain academic and social skills in an effort to prevent summer learning loss. Students participate in interactive, engaging programming focusing on global cultures and communities, educating students about the world around them and their roles in it. Students are also engaged in college and career-based programming, co-curricular experiences, STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and math) activities, and reading and math support. We served more than 75 students and their families at two partner sites during 2023 summer camp. 1032647 true true false false false false false false false false true false false true true true true false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 11 0 true 74 true false false false false false false false false X 10 10 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true false true true false false DC X X Leo Givs 2023993618 4737 Meade Street NE Washington DC 20019 Leo Givs Executive Director 40.00 0.00 X 217173 0 16631 Kate Holman Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Adheer Bahulkar Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 David Watts Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Larry Bank Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Ronald Bozant Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Gretchen Brainard Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Terry Lineberger Secretary 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Tsitsi Batia Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Sheila Harley Vice Chair 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Erik Causey Chair 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 217173 0 16631 1 false true false 798412 447892 1246304 Afterschool Programming 611710 24000 24000 24000 322 322 10564 3261 7303 7303 Other Revenue 900099 11103 11103 11103 1289032 24000 0 18728 199038 141317 23885 33836 816827 579947 98019 138861 27291 19377 3275 4639 71299 50622 8556 12121 111920 92437 18002 1481 30993 23115 3463 4415 34194 30174 3320 700 2666 2666 1895 1629 110 156 35829 35829 44605 37914 6691 Professional Development 6155 4370 739 1046 Communications 53324 49079 1726 2519 Bad debt 425 425 1436461 1032647 204040 199774 1180647 1046677 454359 481746 35632 17238 2003436 1149895 882871 853541 223955 285093 2777464 2684295 82128 75250 223955 285093 306083 360343 X 2341381 2151717 130000 172235 2471381 2323952 2777464 2684295 -147429 0 X false true X true false X 1115554 1204069 1507061 1400656 1246304 6473644 1115554 1204069 1507061 1400656 1246304 6473644 189550 6284094 78 19 27 37 161 6473805 0.97070 0.60880 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 8142 8142 1342020 465572 876448 653274 684323 -31049 853541 Deferred Compensation plan assets 285093 285093 Deferred Compensation plan oblig 285093 285093 X 1558188 269156 269156 1289032 1289032 1705617 269156 269156 1436461 1436461 Footnote for uncertain tax position under FIN 48 (Part X) The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has released FASB ASC 740-10, Income Taxes, that provide guidance for reporting uncertainty in income taxes.
