| Desc | Elves & More is Changing lives One bike at a time! Elves & More focuses on at-risk children throughout the greater Houston metropolitan area and awards new bicycles for specific academic performance in the classroom. Here's how:We partner with Independent School Districts to enhance literacy outcomes in Kindergarten 3rd grades. Through contracts signed with their teachers each child sets an individual measurable goal and also agrees to a minimum standard of behavior. Students parents also sign the contracts to ensure parental involvement and agreement in the process. As the semester progresses, teachers use the contracts to motivate students. At semester's end, those students who meet their goals are rewarded with new bicycles and helmets from Elves & More. This is the first step in developing an understanding in the students that achievement in the classroom brings rewards thereby encouraging future achievementIn addition the bicycles enable students to engage in after-school activities, as well as encouraging children to ride.136,215 Bicycles to date: During 2014, Elves & More gave more than 9,700 new bicycles and helmets to at-risk children, bringing its cumulative total of bicycles to 136,215 bicycles since the program's inception in 2000. With the help of over 3,500 volunteers in 2014 and with that number growing each year, Elves & More is able to achieve its mission. | Desc |

| Explanation | Elves & More partners with school officials in the Houston Independent School District (HISD) and with other ISDs in the eight-county Greater Houston area. Focusing on children who are at risk, Elves & More and ISDs select elementary schools and work with administrators and teachers to offer earn-a-bike contracts to all students who want one. Those contracts call for children to improve their performance in academics, attitudes and behaviors. The contracts are aimed at achieving better literacy. Once children receive their bicycles, they use them for fun, exercise and as basic transportation. | ExplanationTxt |

| Form 990, Part VI, Line 12c: Explanation of Monitoring and Enforcement of Conflicts | The conflict of interest policy is monitored by careful scrutiny of Elves & More's transactions by the Executive Director, a treasury staff member and a separate accounting staff member. In addition, for key transactions, the President is involved in the selection of vendors and the establishment of terms, and for the most significant transactions, either the Executive Committee (of the Board) or full Board approval is provided. Finally, the Charity obtains independent audits from a third-party auditor who has access to the full Board of Directors. |

The performance of the individual is assessed by the President and key board members.3. The capabilities and needs of Elves & More are assessed4.

| Form 990, Sch. B - Sch. of Contributors | The contributions reported in Schedule B are considerably lower than those received due to IRS restrictions on how amounts are reported there. The major differences are: (1) in-kind donations of services and facilities are not reported, (2) contributions from related entities and family members are reported separately and (3) contributions are reduced by any benefits provided by Elves & More in exchange for such contributions. In addition, donated auction items are not reported as donations in Schedule B and amounts paid to purchase auction items are reduced by the value of such items. This listing below shows donors who would have been listed on Schedule B if their donations had not been excluded from reporting under item 1 above.Davis Brothers Contruction ($15,600), Stewart & Stevenson ($5,000), Freeman ($46,350) Reliant Park/SMG ($200,000) |
