What Literacy and Life Inc does
Program
Conducted the Building Blocks for the Future Program. Served 22 families , primarily parents and their 4 - 6 year olds. Provided workshops on financial literacy, nutrition and child development.
The first program described on its most recent Form 990-PF.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2019, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2019, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2019 to 2020, from $28k to $35k (+25%).
Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
28% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund LITERACY AND LIFE INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2020 100% · 2021 88% · 2022 100% · 2023 88% — diversifying over time.
