Tax-deductible

Black Men Teach's mission is to recruit, prepare, place, and retain Black male teachers in elementary schools. Research tells us that a diverse teacher corps improves student outcomes for all children, especially children of color. Black students in elementary school who have at least one Black male teacher are 29% less likely to drop out of school. Those who have two Black male teachers are 32% more likely to enroll in post-secondary education. To achieve its mission, Black Men Teach is building a robust pathway to the teaching profession beginning in high school and continuing to support men through college and into their teaching career. Black Men Teach serves as the advocate, coach, mentor and guide for Black men seeking to become elementary school educators. This work requires a coalition including elementary schools, school districts, teacher training programs, scholarship programs, and community organizations who work together to achieve this important community objective.

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.
