The most recent evaluation determined that parents enrolled in the programs, on average, improved their literacy skills by two grade levels in one year. Nearly half of all preschoolers entering the programs were at risk for developmental delays. By the end of the program, only 14% remained at risk, representing a 70% decrease in the number of children at risk for developmental delays. THE FOUNDATION'S EARLY LITERACY EFFORTS ALSO INCLUDED WORKING WITH THE MOTT FOUNDATION TO CREATE "EXTENDING AND ENHANCING LITERACY LEARNING IN AFTERSCHOOL PROGRAMS: A PRACTICE GUIDE." THIS guide and curriculum overview provides support for early literacy programming in 21st Century Community Learning Centers and other formal afterschool programs. In addition, the Barbara Bush Foundation developed an online early literacy course to provide afterschool and child care providers some basic training in literacy in order to enhance their programs. The Barbara Bush Foundation partnered with Pi Beta Phi, a national sorority, to develop and present training on literacy advocacy to Pi Beta Phi members in five locations across the U.S. Pi Beta Phi members then used the materials and training resources to advocate for literacy in their own communities. In the summer of 2018, the Barbara Bush Foundation created a facilitators guide for Pi Beta Phi to use to continue training new literacy advocates among their members. The Barbara Bush Foundation contracted with a vendor to create a digital platform called Story Mentors for first graders, which includes 25 online books accompanied by mentor and parent guides. The materials have been reviewed by teachers across the nation and were offered free of charge to teachers in Mississippi to evaluate our dissemination processes. Story Mentors for first graders will be launched nationally in 2019. The 11th annual Maine Literacy Connections Conference was held at Thomas College this year, with nearly 300 educators from child care to adult education in attendance. Highlights included a keynote by Dr. Jayne Singer from the Brazelton Touchpoints Center at Harvard University on developmental, social emotional, and trauma frameworks to strengthen learning. IN ADDITION, THE CONFERENCE PROVIDED MORE THAN 20 INDIVIDUAL WORKSHOPS FROM WHICH PARTICIPANTS COULD CHOOSE. ONE PARTICIPANT SHARED, "I LOOK FORWARD TO ATTENDING THIS CONFERENCE EVERY YEAR. I ALWAYS LEARN SO MUCH AND WALK AWAY ENERGIZED.finally, the Foundation worked with the Florida Childrens Council to develop training material for early literacy providers and delivered several training workshops on language nutrition in Florida. 767476 133303 705020 Teen Trendsetters is a cross-age literacy mentoring program that pairs middle and high school students (mentors) with struggling readers (mentees) in first through third grade for weekly one-on-one reading sessions. The goal is to improve reading skills in these at-risk mentees, while promoting leadership and service qualities among mentors. Parents are also encouraged to read with their child at least twice a week, and over the course of the program, children receive 15-20 books to add to their personal home libraries. The 2018-19 Teen Trendsetters evaluation report shows that, on average, mentees demonstrated a 1.20 grade level increase in reading skills, which corresponds to 50% more growth than would be expected for an average student during this time period. However, it must be remembered that the mentees are not typical students they were specifically chosen because they were reading at least one-half year below grade level and one may expect them to show smaller gains than the average student who was reading at grade level or above. Consequently, the actual impact of Teen Trendsetters on mentees may be greater than the increase of 1.20 grade levels would imply. While the focus of Teen Trendsetters is on mentee reading, mentors also gain from taking part in the program. They report stronger communications skills, new leadership skills, the ability to work as part of a team, better problem solving, improved self confidence, and even enhanced reading skills. The Barbara Bush Foundation supported 140 Teen Trendsetters programs in 10 states in 2018-19 with stipends for advisors, training for advisors and mentors, curriculum and supplemental books for each mentee, and incentives like t-shirts and certificates of completion. The Foundation also supported a student information system, an independent evaluator, and technical assistance staff. Each student is also paired with a teen who has been trained as a reading mentor, and the pairs meet weekly to practice reading during one-on-one mentoring sessions. The 2016-17 Teen Trendsetters evaluation report shows that, on average, mentees increase their reading by 1.24 grade levels. In addition, the five-year aggregate evaluation report from 2011-2016 shows that, on average, students in grades 1-3 achieved 18 to 31 percent more growth in their reading skills than one would expect for children their age. 273621 375657 Today, 36 million Americans cannot read above a basic level. This translates to one in five adults in the U.S. who struggle to read simple sentences and basic vocabulary words. Two-thirds of these 36 million are native English-speaking citizens and one-third are immigrants. These adults are more likely to be unemployed, to go to prison, and to be hospitalized. Their children are also at a significantly higher risk of being low-literate themselves, perpetuating the cycle. The negative consequences affect not only individuals and their families, but our nation as a whole. Even a slight rise in literacy skills has the potential to boost labor productivity exponentially and decrease health care costs significantly. In 2015, former first lady Barbara Bush challenged the Foundation to improve access to services so these adults could learn to read, write, comprehend, and navigate life with dignity. The Barbara Bush Foundation joined with the XPRIZE Foundation and the Dollar General Literacy Foundation to launch the worlds first-ever Adult Literacy XPRIZE competition. The competition challenged developers to create applications that would enable adult learners to learn at any time and in any place, through use of their smartphones and tablets. The competition field, which originally numbered 109 teams from 22 countries, was narrowed to five finalist teams in 2017-18. The applications created by these teams were field tested with nearly 12,000 adult learners in three cities across the country: Dallas, Los Angeles, and Philadelphia. The results of the field trials were reviewed by a team of expert judges and were deemed very promising. The winners were announced in February 2019 and awarded a total prize purse of $5.5 million. In addition to increasing the development of educational technology through the app development phase of the competition, the Foundation launched a campaign to increase reach to low-literate adults. In the fall of 2018, the Foundation and its partners nationwide launched the Communities Competition aimed at placing the winning adult literacy apps into the hands of as many low-literate adults as possible, with $1 million in prizes available to the participating communities. The results of this phase will be made public in November 2019. To test the effectiveness of the adult learner recruitment strategies of the organizations competing in the Communities Competition, the Barbara Bush Foundation also hired an independent evaluator. The evaluation report will be available in the fall of 2019. 1564389 3212152 true true false true false false false false false false true false false false false false true false false false false false false true true false false true false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 12 0 24 true false false false false false true true false false false false false false X 12 11 true false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false AL AK AR CA CT DC FL GA HI IL KS KY MD MA MI MN MS NV NH NJ NY NC OK OR PA SC TN UT VA WA WV WI WY X X EVANGELINE FIELDS 8505625300 516 NORTH ADAMS STREET TALLAHASSEE FL 32301 CHRIS FRANGIONE INTERIM CEO/DIRECTOR 14.0 0.0 X X 203287 0 3999 DAVID BERE' TREASURER 1.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 DORO BUSH KOCH HONORARY CHAIR 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 GOVERNOR BOB WISE DIRECTOR 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 JEAN BECKER SECRETARY 1.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 JEB BUSH JR DIRECTOR 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 MARK KAPLAN CHAIR (PARTIAL TERM) 1.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 PEGGY CONLON CHAIR (PARTIAL TERM) 1.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 TIMOTHY E GAGE DIRECTOR 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 TRICIA REILLY KOCH DIRECTOR 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 BRITISH ROBINSON PRESIDENT/CEO 60.0 0.0 X X 82300 0 0 GWYNN VIROSTEK DIRECTOR 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 LORI WACHS DIRECTOR 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Evangeline Fields Chief Financial Officer 40.0 0.0 X 152381 0 6590 FONDA ANDERSON CHIEF STRATEGIC OFFICER 40.0 0.0 X 201979 0 16158 ANNE DAVIES CHIEF DEVELOPMENT OFFICER 40.0 0.0 X 198012 0 16888 SUSAN JAMES CHIEF MARKETING OFFICER 40.0 0.0 X 235640 0 13008 LIZA MCFADDEN PRESIDENT/CEO 0.0 0.0 X 267063 0 14135 1340662 0 70778 6 true true false GRAVINA SMITH MATTE ARNOLD 12474 Brantley Commons Court FORT MYERS FL 33907 MEETING PLANNER 153117 THE PURSUANT GROUP INC PO BOX 203421 DALLAS TX 75320 MKT, SOC & DIGITAL 112315 THE GLOVER PARK GROUP LLC 1025 F STREET NW 9TH FLOOR WASHINGTON DC 20004 STRATEGIC COMMUN. 179275 LJ ENTERPRISES INC PO BOX 574 SOUTH DENNIS MA 02660 PROGRAM CONSULTANT 103935 4 300000 2249964 2549964 MAINE LITERACY CONFERENCE 28930 28930 28930 752163 752163 0 0 0 0 0 21990705 21757547 233158 233158 233158 843862 651439 192423 192423 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3756638 28930 1177744 133303 133303 0 0 0 1512769 904903 159197 448669 0 695140 415817 73153 206170 136661 81747 14382 40532 62917 37635 6621 18661 144144 86224 15169 42751 0 69669 25487 13784 30398 26981 12244 7754 6983 0 0 156755 133409 2066 21280 908735 773394 11974 123367 7989 6799 105 1085 48164 28355 8093 11716 6517 5546 86 885 0 28073 13423 7538 7112 163090 112666 12771 37653 0 28344 28344 0 0 9291 4525 2242 2524 22496 10289 6330 5877 BOOKS AND MATERIALS 310477 310477 DUES AND SUBS 79396 44743 3776 30877 OTHER EXPENSES 26108 18934 1764 5410 MAINE LITERACY CONFERENCE 23888 23888 4600907 3212152 346805 1041950 400395 631024 2201752 1592757 1790836 356284 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 13266 19671 58806 37608 18474 21198 27704117 29296464 54283 68615 0 0 0 0 0 0 32183123 31986013 649541 572065 1000000 1000000 716516 720918 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2366057 2292983 X 29817066 29402419 0 290611 0 0 29817066 29693030 32183123 31986013 X -844269 720233 X false true X true false X 19769600 4462540 3086478 4410041 2549964 34278623 0 0 19769600 4462540 3086478 4410041 2549964 34278623 0 34278623 800693 823086 768803 733273 752163 3878018 0 3777 3777 38160418 0.89828 0.90900 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 3188264 3188264 309413 77353 595076 795410 309496 309413 2009395 3014093 140024 22078 77374 77353 316829 475244 148769 198853 347622 58806 37608 21198 21198 5400707 720233 429152 651439 1800824 3599883 156755 156755 3756638 5524743 429152 651439 1080591 4444152 156755 156755 4600907 PART XI: Reconciliation of Revenue Line 2d DIRECT FUNDRAISING EVENT EXPENSES: $651,439 For tax return purposes, fundraising expenses are reported on the Statement of Revenues, Part VIII.
