What Literacy Volunteers of Collier County Inc does
Mission
To enhance the lives of our students and families by improving their literary skills.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Children and Parents Reading Together: Selected Pre-K, Kindergarten and 1st grade students in Collier County Public Schools, and their parents, meet with LVCC tutors to learn early literacy skills. The program teaches parents how to work with their children on academic skills and teaches children how to practice literacy skills to become school ready. There are three 8-week sessions during the school year and one 6-week summer session. Tutors meet with classes of parents and children once each week. The tutors work with both children and parents to instill in them the love of reading and its importance to success in school. During each of the 4 sessions approximately 100 children, with parents, are served. This year the program served approximately 461 families. To each of those families LVCC provided 28 hours of free tutoring time to both parent and child, teaching pre-literacy skills to the child and English language skills to the parent. Each child received 28 brand new books (approximately 3,200 books) as well as other pre-literacy learning resource material.
$129,191 spent51% of program spendingLVCC offers both in-class and one-on-one tutoring sessions. Students and tutors meet once or twice a week for at least 1.5 hours and work together on improving English skills. Students are at different levels of English and are assigned to classes accordingly. There are mixed groups of students with a number of native languages including Spanish, Haitian Creole, Middle Eastern and Asian language groups. Students generally remain in the program until their skill level meets their expectation for better employment and they become more functional in the community. LVCC offers programs online as well as face-to-face traditional classes. There was an average of more than 300 adult students per month being served throughout the year. Citizenship: Students attend a 6-week course to prepare themselves for the US citizenship test. All instruction is carried out by LVCC tutors, and all materials are supplied by LVCC. Instruction focuses on improving English skills and gaining the knowledge required to be successful on the citizenship test. The success rate is very high and over 550 students have completed the course over the years and become US citizens. This year LVCC provided 18 students…

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 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 2018 to 2019, from $125k to $721k (+475%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2021 11% · 2022 14% · 2024 3%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

Literacy Volunteers of Collier County Inc leans on a few funders — its largest provides 27% of grant income and the top three 77%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
83% 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 Volunteers of Collier County Inc.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 55% · 2018 47% · 2019 39% · 2020 46% · 2021 44% · 2022 34% · 2023 67% — growing more concentrated.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.

Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $515k arriving through sponsors registered in 8 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
