III-4a Schoolsmartkc formally launched in march of 2017 with the goal of closing the achievement gap for students in kansas city. When we launched, 30% of public schools within the boundaries of the kansas city public school district were performing in the bottom five percent of schools in the state of missouri. Despite this challenge, SSKC saw the potential of our community to work together in support of our schools through coordinated strategies to boost school performance and increase student success.(continued on schedule o)since our work started, working closely with community partners and our schools, schoolsmartkc has invested over $30 million into schools and education partners in kansas city. These investments, which include direct support to 100% of school districts and leas in the city, have seen tangible improvements to schools in the form of new offerings, expanded programming, and improved technology in the hands of our students. They have also allowed for the development and expansion of deeper collective efforts to address issues surrounding family engagement, recruitment and retention of educators, and the critical need for pre-k solutions in our city. Now, eight (8) years into our work, our resolve is stronger than ever. Together with the constantly growing group of allies supporting improved public education in kansas city, we are focusing on harnessing our collective power to tackle the systemic issues that exist for students in kansas city and continue to move the needle for every child attending a public school.includes $4,385,014 in grants$7,404,350

Form 990 e-file FY2024 from the IRS (about our sources) · Classification, formation year and address from the IRS Business Master File

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

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. A filing can only be corrected by the organization filing an amended return with the IRS; the corrected information appears here at our next update.

We publish only information contained in the public IRS filing, and less than the filing contains. Our pages do not display home 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, contact the filing organization or the IRS directly.
