THROUGH HANDS-ON LEARNING AND SKILL-BUILDING, THE ORGANIZATION FOSTERS SELF-EMPOWERMENT, EQUIPPING INDIVIDUALS WITH THE STEM SKILLS THAT LEAD TO LONG-TERM OPPORTUNITY AND FINANCIAL STABILITY. THE STEM ALLIANCE ALSO SUPPORTS THE GROWTH OF CURRENT AND FUTURE STEM LEADERS, BRINGING DIVERSE REPRESENTATION TO STEM FIELDS AND ENSURING THAT A RANGE OF PERSPECTIVES CAN DRIVE INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS TO THE CHALLENGES OF TODAY AND TOMORROW. 0 0 1149108 12650 678732 DIGITAL EQUITY: THE STEM ALLIANCE'S DIGITAL PATHWAYS INITIATIVE CLOSES THE DIGITAL DIVIDE BY CONNECTING LOW- AND MODERATE-INCOME RESIDENTS ACROSS WESTCHESTER COUNTY AND NEW YORK CITY TO COMPUTERS, INTERNET ACCESS, AND TECH SKILLS TRAINING. THE STEM ALLIANCE IS A REGIONAL LEADER IN DIGITAL EQUITY AND A TRUSTED PARTNER TO STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS IN ADMINISTERING THESE PROGRAMS. THE NEED IS ACUTE: AMONG THOSE SERVED, 93% NEED A DEVICE, AND 84% OF THOSE HAVE NO COMPUTER IN THE HOME AT ALL, WHILE 71% NEED BASIC COMPUTER TRAINING AND 64% OF THOSE HAD NEVER RECEIVED ANY. THIS IS NOT A TEMPORARY OR PANDEMIC-ERA PROBLEM. IT IS A PERSISTENT STRUCTURAL BARRIER THAT LOCKS RESIDENTS OUT OF THE BASIC DIGITAL SKILLS THAT 92% OF JOBS NOW REQUIRE, MAKING FULL PARTICIPATION IN A DIGITALLY DRIVEN ECONOMY IMPOSSIBLE WITHOUT INTERVENTION. SINCE 2020, THE INITIATIVE HAS DISTRIBUTED MORE THAN 5,200 COMPUTING DEVICES, CONNECTED OVER 2,300 HOUSEHOLDS TO THE INTERNET, AND SCREENED MORE THAN 5,500 RESIDENTS FOR DIGITAL NEED.THE RESULTS ESTABLISH A CLEAR PATHWAY FROM DIGITAL ACCESS TO ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY. AMONG 3,855 CLIENTS SURVEYED BEFORE AND AFTER COMPLETING THE PROGRAM'S 15-HOUR TECH EDUCATION COURSE, COMFORT ON CORE WORKFORCE PLATFORMS SUCH AS WORD, EXCEL, AND CALENDAR MORE THAN DOUBLED, REACHING MAJORITY CONFIDENCE ACROSS EVERY PLATFORM. SPANISH-SPEAKING PARTICIPANTS, WHO ENTERED WITH THE LEAST CONFIDENCE, MADE THE LARGEST GAINS AND NARROWED THE GAP WITH THEIR ENGLISH-SPEAKING PEERS ACROSS MOST MEASURES. THE LONGER-TERM IMPACT IS DIRECT AND LASTING: IN A FOLLOW-UP SURVEY OF 1,344 CLIENTS CONDUCTED THREE TO SIX MONTHS AFTER SERVICES, 79% OR MORE REPORTED AN INCREASED LIKELIHOOD OF USING THE INTERNET TO ACCESS HEALTHCARE AND ESSENTIAL GOODS AND SERVICES, 79% REPORTED AN INCREASED LIKELIHOOD OF PURSUING FURTHER TRAINING, AND 67% REPORTED AN INCREASED LIKELIHOOD OF OBTAINING A BETTER-PAYING JOB. IN A DIGITALLY DRIVEN ECONOMY, DIGITAL INCLUSION IS AMONG THE MOST DIRECT AND SCALABLE LEVERS AVAILABLE FOR WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT AND INDIVIDUAL EMPOWERMENT. 641825 0 0 STEM EDUCATION AND EQUITY: THE STEM ALLIANCE'S STEM EDUCATION AND EQUITY PROGRAMS BRIDGE SYSTEMIC GAPS IN STEM LEARNING THROUGH HANDS-ON, STANDARDS-ALIGNED PROGRAMMING ACROSS ALL STEM DISCIPLINES. THE NEED IS URGENT: WOMEN MAKE UP ONLY 35% OF THE U.S. STEM WORKFORCE AND PEOPLE OF COLOR ONLY 10%, WHILE MORE THAN HALF OF GEN Z STUDENTS REPORT LIMITED EXPOSURE TO CAREER-FOCUSED STEM. IN THE 2024-2025 YEAR, THE STEM ALLIANCE DELIVERED MORE THAN 190 HIGH-QUALITY PROGRAMS, TOTALING OVER 1,000 PARTICIPANT HOURS, IN PARTNERSHIP WITH 50 LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS. THIS WORK SERVED MORE THAN 4,300 STUDENTS FROM PRE-K THROUGH HIGH SCHOOL, WITH 60% OF PROGRAMMING REACHING RACIALLY DIVERSE COMMUNITIES. THE IMPACT IS MEASURABLE: ACROSS STUDENT SURVEYS, PARTICIPANTS REPORTED MARKED GAINS IN STEM CURIOSITY, CONFIDENCE, AND IDENTITY AFTER AS FEW AS EIGHT HOURS OF PROGRAMMING.EQUITY IS BUILT INTO THE PROGRAM'S DESIGN. CLASSES, WORKSHOPS, AND POP-UPS ARE OFTEN ORGANIZED FOR AFFINITY GROUPS, SUCH AS ALL-GIRLS COHORTS, CREATING SAFE AND WELCOMING ENVIRONMENTS FOR UNDERSERVED STUDENTS. REDUCED AND FULLY WAIVED TUITION ENSURES THAT ECONOMIC NEED IS NEVER A BARRIER TO PARTICIPATION. THE STEM ALLIANCE ALSO EXTENDS LEARNING INTO THE COMMUNITY YEAR-ROUND THROUGH PROGRAMS INCLUDING STEM-TASTIC, A FREE PUBLIC FESTIVAL SERVING MORE THAN 1,000 ATTENDEES; STEM SAILS, A HANDS-ON MARINE SCIENCE EXPERIENCE ABOARD SCHOONERS ON THE LONG ISLAND SOUND; COMPETITIVE FIRST LEGO LEAGUE ROBOTICS TEAMS THAT ADVANCED TO THE REGIONAL FINALS AT RPI FOR THE SECOND CONSECUTIVE YEAR; TINKERING NIGHTS THAT ENGAGE CHILDREN AND PARENTS IN HANDS-ON MAKING; AND AN AMC-8 MATH CLUB PREPARING MIDDLE SCHOOLERS FOR NATIONAL COMPETITION. TOGETHER, THESE PROGRAMS MEET EVERY CHILD WHERE THEY ARE, OFFERING BOTH INTENSIVE STEM EXPERIENCES AND LIGHTER-TOUCH INTRODUCTORY SO THAT PARTICIPATION IS OPEN TO ALL, FROM THE ALREADY ENTHUSED TO THE MERELY CURIOUS. 598264 0 0 CO-OP SUMMER ENRICHMENT: NOW IN ITS SIXTIETH YEAR, CO-OP SUMMER ENRICHMENT IS THE STEM ALLIANCE'S RESPONSE TO SUMMER LEARNING LOSS, THE DECLINE IN READING AND MATH SKILLS THAT DISPROPORTIONATELY AFFECTS CHILDREN FROM LOW-INCOME HOUSEHOLDS AND WIDENS THE ACHIEVEMENT GAP YEAR AFTER YEAR. AS A FIVE WEEK, FULL DAY PROGRAM, CO-OP DELIVERS HIGH-QUALITY, HANDS-ON STEM LEARNING TO MORE THAN 250 STUDENTS, BLENDING RIGOROUS ACADEMIC ENRICHMENT WITH THE RITUALS THAT MAKE SUMMER MEANINGFUL: COLOR WARS, SWIM INSTRUCTION, AND FIELD TRIPS TO STEM INSTITUTIONS SUCH AS THE INTREPID MUSEUM AND THE NEW YORK HALL OF SCIENCE. THE COMBINATION IS DELIBERATE. ENGAGING PROGRAMMING SUSTAINS THE CONSISTENT ATTENDANCE THROUGH WHICH CO-OP SLOWS SUMMER SLIDE, SUPPORTS ACADEMIC GROWTH AND KEEPS STUDENTS ON TRACK FOR THE YEAR AHEAD.THE PROGRAM'S OUTCOMES DEMONSTRATE ITS EFFECTIVENESS. IN 2025, 83% OF CAMPERS HELD OR IMPROVED THEIR READING SCORES, 91% MAINTAINED CONSISTENT ATTENDANCE, AND 100% OF EDUCATORS REPORTED THAT CO-OP HELPED STUDENTS MEET STATE AND DISTRICT BENCHMARKS. FOR THE MAJORITY OF FAMILIES SERVED, THE PROGRAM FILLS A CRITICAL GAP: 74% OF CAMPERS HAD NO SUMMER ALTERNATIVE, AND 63% REPORTED THAT CO-OP WAS THEIR CHILD'S FIRST STEM ENRICHMENT EXPERIENCE. CO-OP EXTENDS THROUGH THE MIDDLE SCHOOL YEARS THROUGH TWO ADDITIONAL PROGRAMS: MOSAIC INNOVATION CAMP AND A FIVE-WEEK RISE LEADERSHIP-IN-TRAINING PROGRAM. THE STEM ALLIANCE ALSO EMPLOYS MORE THAN 60 LOCAL TEENAGERS AND YOUNG ADULTS AS COUNSELORS AND MENTORS, ESTABLISHING A PATHWAY THAT BUILDS SKILLS AND OPPORTUNITY WELL BEYOND A SINGLE SUMMER. 2389197 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 19 0 128 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 11 10 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 NY X MARGARET KAUFER 9144191733 606 ORIENTA AVE MAMARONECK NY 10543 ELIZABETH ESTROFF CHAIR 1.00 X X 0 0 0 JOY CHAILLOU VICE CHAIR 1.00 X X 0 0 0 MARK MANLEY TREASURER 1.00 X X 0 0 0 STEVEN STIEGLITZ SECRETARY 1.00 X X 0 0 0 PIETRO CATIZONE DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 NILESH JAIN DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 LAUREN BUONOME DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 HARMEET GOINDI DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 DIANA BARRERA DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 IRENE IANUZZI DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 MARGARET KAUFER PRESIDENT/ CVO 40.00 X X 84044 0 0 84044 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 25670 793212 1378149 7545 2197031 EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS 611699 678732 678732 678732 1509 1509 8400 25670 7450 950 950 5580 5580 5580 2883802 678732 0 8039 12650 12650 90800 72640 13620 4540 1511844 1242383 165034 104427 66556 54612 7419 4525 126364 103686 14086 8592 88936 88936 154400 116103 28504 9793 59366 32519 15080 11767 43119 28891 6347 7881 167617 136518 20330 10769 19499 14622 1301 3576 33195 31405 1790 PROGRAM SUPPLIES AND TE 543560 543128 173 259 13866 40 13736 90 2931772 2389197 376356 166219 105824 154286 15246 233214 493989 279688 68274 79291 48585 37092 34964 33357 543512 389655 1310394 1206583 187126 156973 110894 537227 408779 724353 676646 X 140497 146426 445544 383511 586041 529937 1310394 1206583 -47970 -8134 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 1461738 626537 1459801 2248319 2197031 7993426 1461738 626537 1459801 2248319 2197031 7993426 1582811 6410615 9 1135 3526 727 1509 6906 8000332 3554672 0.80130 0.73440 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 OPERATING RIGHT OF USE ASSET 389655 389655 OPERATING LEASE LIABILITIES 408779 408779 2973491 -8134 90373 7450 89689 2883802 0 2883802 3029595 90373 7450 97823 2931772 0 2931772 PART XI, LINE 2D - OTHER ADJUSTMENTS: FUNDRAISING EXPENSES 7,450.
