A clean, well-fitting uniform can determine whether a child attends school or stays home out of embarrassment. Teachers consistently report that students who receive uniforms return to class more engaged, more confident, and more willing to participate. In 2025, we provide 22,000 uniforms tops and bottoms to students across 60 schools and 5 outreach programs in Palm Beach County, ensuring children start the school year prepared, confident, and able to focus on learning. These schools serve some of the highest-need student populations in the county, with free/reduced lunch enrollment rates exceeding 70. The Uniform Program is supported primarily 483751 The Back to Basics Angel Program continues to provide the Basics that children need to attend school - NEW Sneakers, Socks, Underwear - and because the program centers around the holidays, we also include a toy in each Angel Gift Bag. For many children, these may be the only gifts they receive. In 2025, we delivered 10,764 Angel gifts, restoring dignity, boosting self-esteem, and helping children return to school after winter break with renewed confidence. The Angel Program relies heavily on community participation from businesses, churches, organizations, and individuals who adopt children each year. Last year, the community adopted over 7,100 children, while Back to Basics provided gifts for the remaining 3,700 children with support from local foundations, which ensure that every child referred to us receives these essential items. 725634 true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false true 0 0 false 0 false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false X 7 7 false false false false false false false true false false false false false true false false false false false false false false FL X X Kelle Enriquez 5617024527 2365 Vista Parkway Suite 19 West Palm Beach FL 33411 X Beverly Perham President, Founder 001.00 X X 0 0 0 Kelle Enriquez Treasurer 015.00 X X 0 0 0 Cathy Barulic Director 010.00 X X 0 0 0 Mike O'Dell Director 010.00 X X 0 0 0 Maggie Zeller Director 001.00 X 0 0 0 Kathy Konar Bradley Director 001.00 X 0 0 0 Kim Rolston Director 001.00 X 0 0 0 false false false X 653830 361165 653830 6118 6118 659948 6118 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 216 216 0 1708 1708 0 0 60740 60740 0 0 1146 1146 0 0 0 3234 3234 Uniform Program - Uniforms 220208 220208 Angel Program - Sneakers, Socks, Underwear, Toys 439744 439744 Non-Profit Fees 390 390 0 727386 725634 1536 216 131154 207341 253502 109620 384656 316961 161 0 161 X 384656 316800 384656 316800 384656 316961 -67438 -418 X false X false X false false false X 536440 580833 496793 605409 653830 2873305 536440 580833 496793 605409 653830 2873305 2873305 0 0 0 0 536440 580833 496793 605409 653830 2873305 1.00000 0.00000 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED X 361165 see Part II fir explanation false false false Part I Line 5 The HR Block Business software would not let me provide the following detail for the non-cash contributions The 361,165 non-cash donations is made up of 1 Bombas Socks - 10,000 pairs valued at 4 each - 10,000 4 40,000 and 2 New Sneakers, Socks, Underwear Toys - 7,137 gift packages from the community, valued at about 45 each - 7,137 45 321,165.

Form 990, Part IX, Line 24a Functional Expenses - Uniform Program - This year the Uniform Program provded over 22,000 new school uniforms tops and bottoms to children in need in Palm Beach County. We have a strong partnership with a premier uniform manufacturer who has been working with Back to Basics since 2005. We have been acquiring their excess, discontinued and irregular uniforms at deeply discounted prices. Over time, their excess inventory has gone down and our needs have gone up, so in 2018, they began manufacturing uniform bottoms specifically for Back to Basics, still at the discounted prices. Form 990, Part IX, Line 24b Functional Expenses - Angel Program - The Angel Program provided 10,764 new sneakers, socks, underwear and a toy for children in need in 2025. 7,137 of those gifts were provided by individuals in the community. The remaining 3,627 gifts were provided in house by Back to Basics and were funded through donor grants and in-kind donations. These gifts represent the bulk of the Program expenses. When we cannot get the products via direct in-kind donations, we work with wholesalers to find the deepest discounts and value purchases to acquire the rest. We build our inventory of sneakers, socks, underwear and toys to accomodate 6,000 gift packages, to ensure we can meet our in-house commitment, as well as fill in the blanks for any of the community gifts that may be missing items. If a childs name goes out to the community, and the gifts are not returned, we take care of it. If gift packages come back missing one of the 4 promised items, we take care of it. We are committed to ensure that ALL of the children that we serve through our program receive all of the gifts promised - new sneakers, socks, underwear and a toy.
