What Sjl Foundation does
Program
The sjl education project through the Sjl Foundation is developing a pilot program to reimagine elementary education that addresses the national crisis of failing public elementary schools by transforming them into institutions equipped with modern facilities, skilled educators, and comprehensive support systems-essential for ensuring that every child, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds, can achieve strong academic and developmental milestones. The sjl education project is actively reaching out to state legislators throughout the u.s. To change the framework for addressing educational inequity as a profound civil rights imperative, recognizing how systemic barriers disproportionately impact children from low-income communities and communities of color.
$13,875 spent
The program described on its FY2025 Form 990-PF.
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.
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 $588k to $318k (−46%).
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.
