What Power of Zero Foundation does
Mission
To prevent bullying and promote the social, emotional, and digital well-being of children in their first years of school, ensuring they have the values and skills needed to thrive in a connected world.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
On its FY2025 return the organization reported starting a significant new program.
In 2025, the Board of Directors approved a strategic expansion of the Foundation's mission. While our core commitment remains bullying prevention through the 'No Bully' program, we have broadened our scope to include social-emotional learning and digital literacy. This evolution reflects the changing needs of the children we serve and ensures our programs address the root causes of conflict in both physical and digital environments.
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 2).
In 2025, the Power of Zero Foundation dedicated its primary resources to the implementation of the No Bully program across US schools. This evidence-based initiative provides comprehensive training and strategic coaching to educators, enabling them to identify, address, and prevent bullying and cyberbullying. By fostering inclusive school cultures and equipping staff with specific intervention scripts and restorative practices, the program successfully helps schools reduce systemic harassment and strengthen students' social-emotional well-being. During this period, the Foundation provided professional development workshops and ongoing consultation to ensure sustainable, school-wide adoption of these protective measures.
$103,251 spent$130,507 earned by the program88% of program spendingThe Foundation initiated a strategic expansion into South America by hiring a dedicated Program Manager in Colombia. This inaugural phase focused on the research and cultural adaptation of social-emotional learning frameworks specifically for Spanish-speaking early childhood educators. While the program is in the development and readiness phase, this work is essential for the planned 2026 rollout of digital literacy and emotional resilience training. The resulting Spanish-language curriculum will also be utilized by the Foundation to support diverse, multilingual student populations within the United States.

Accomplishments include the full translation of the curriculum into Spanish for Latin American markets and the initiation of expanded modules for years one and two. This program bridges the gap between home, school, and the digital world, equipping young children with the values needed to navigate their beginning online lives safely and kindly

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2022, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2022, 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 2023 to 2024, from $55k to $106k (+94%).
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.
48% of POWER OF ZERO FOUNDATION’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (57% for the typical peer).
