What claiming does How does your 990 look to donors? Take the 10-Question Audit

To interrupt and counteract existing gender, racial, and economic gaps in computing by equipping youth and educators with the knowledge, skills, and support to create with technology. In march of 2020 the beginnings of the pandemic caused a major transformation in our daily lives. Technology became more important than ever to work, to play, to obtain needed supplies, and to connect with other people. Code Savvy adjusted to these changes by indefinitely canceling all in-person events. IT was a hard decision, but we knew IT was the right thing to DO. Our mission to bring technology to students and educators was critical so we transformed ourselves. Through donations, volunteering, and participation our programs continued to thrive. We plan to resume in-person events in the summer of 2021 following government guidelines.

501(c)(3) charity; gifts are tax-deductible.

Names, privacy, and removal requests More

The names, titles, and compensation shown on this page are reproduced from IRS Form 990 filings, which are public records.

Philanthropy.org does not alter the content of those filings. All information appears exactly as reported by the filing organization for the tax year shown.

We publish only information contained in the public IRS filing — and less than the filing contains. Our profile pages do not display street addresses, telephone numbers, personal email addresses, or other personal contact information, even where the filing includes them.

Many people share the same name. A name shown on this page reflects only what one organization reported in one IRS filing for one tax year. It should not be interpreted as identifying any other individual with the same or a similar name.

If you are no longer affiliated with the organization, your name will generally stop appearing in future IRS filings once the organization no longer reports you. Pages for tax years in which you were reported remain published because those filings remain part of the public record.

Philanthropy.org does not alter or remove IRS filing records. Removing a page from this website would not remove the underlying IRS filing, which remains publicly available from the IRS and other publishers of the same information.

If you believe the IRS filing itself is inaccurate, corrections must be made by the filing organization or the IRS directly.
