What You Tell Me StoriesInc does
Mission
The Foundation will use funds to develop literacy storybook apps for young children for their first decade of life. This multi-lingual collection of read aloud picture book applications for smartphones and tablets will provide the oral language skills necessary for success in school. These applications (ebooks) and their unique methodology are developed based on decades of peer review research and literature and delivered with revolutionary technology. The Foundation will distribute both hardware (Tablets) and software (ebooks) to libraries and schools for a licensing fee to be reinvested in the Foundation, as well as make charitable donations to groups providing education to preschool environments and those who support children with special needs. In addition the Foundation will work with parent, community and educational groups, particularly in minority and low income facilities.
As stated on its FY2020 Form 990-EZ.
Program
To develop a multi-lingual library (collection) of preschool read aloud picture e-book applications for digital platforms (such as tablets, smartphones) providing teaching tools for parents and educators, and resources for children that build necessary oral language skills for school achievement-closing the word achievement gap by combining research based methodology with revolutionary technology. The content and intellectual property will be available for licensing and charitable contributions to groups providing pre-school education (predominantly minority and low income families) and through these groups, directly to parents of young children.
The first program described on its most recent Form 990-EZ.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 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 $14k to $2k (−86%).
How it's funded, over time
