Step up for students empowers families to pursue and engage in the most appropriate learning options for their children, with an emphasis on families who lack the information and financial resources to access these options. By pursuing this mission, we help public education fulfill the promise of equal opportunity.in 2021, step up for students experienced an increase in contributions and grants and pledge receivable primarily due to the timing of tax credited contributions from donors. The timing differences were primarily the result of the covid-19 pandemic from 2020, during which donors delayed their contributions. The level of pledge commitments determines the number of students the organization can serve on our scholarship programs.

“Form 990 is prepared by the fund's independent cpa firm. After being reviewed by management, the full form 990 informational return is provided to the board of directors for review and comment. The board of directors is also afforded the opportunity to ask questions with respect to the form 990 before the return is filed.”
“Step up for students ensures that the conflict of interest policy is adhered to with the following activities: 1) regular education with the board of directors, officers and key staff. Each year, the policy is reviewed with the board of directors and officers. Each board member and officer acknowledges their understanding and compliance by signing a compliance statement. 2) the cfo or cao reviews each contract the organization enters. 3) finance staff and the cao review all payments as they are made for possible conflicts.”
“The compensation committee of the board of directors reviews comparable compensation and benefits data of similar organizations. During fiscal year 2016, an independent compensation consulting firm conducted a full comparative study for each individual executive position and all non-executive job grades. The committee uses this information, combined with the performance of the president, to recommend the president's compensation package for approval of the full board. The full board approves the package.”
“Step up for students makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy and financial statements available on its website, www.stepupforstudents.org. Printed copies are available by request for the same period of disclosure as set forth in irc section 6104(d).”
“In-kind fixed assets 15,000.”
“This process has not changed since the prior year.”
“In june 2014, legislation created a scholarship for special needs children that was signed into law in florida. A gardiner scholarship account is established for each child that is awarded a special needs scholarship. Parents use this money to personalize the education of their children with unique abilities by directing money towards a combination of programs and state approved providers. These include schools, therapists, specialists, curriculum and technology and college savings accounts. In june 2018, legislation created a scholarship to provide academic support for elementary school students in district or charter schools who struggle in reading that was signed into law in florida. The scholarship is available to students in third through fifth grade who have scored a level 1 or 2 on the english language arts section of the florida standards assessment. Parents use this scholarship to pay for tuition and fees related to part-time tutoring, summer and after-school literacy programs, instructional materials and more. During the years ended june 30, 2021 and 2020, step up for students distributed approximately $153.4 million and $126.2 million, leaving a balance of approximately $142.4 million and $109.2 million respectively, which is recorded in the consolidated statement of financial position as both an asset and a liability. Step up for students is acting as an agent for both of these programs, therefore, there are no revenues and expenses reported on the statement of activities for scholarship funds received and distributed from the state of florida.”
“Step up for students is exempt from federal income taxes under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code and from state income taxes under similar provisions of the florida statutes. Accordingly, no provision for federal and state income taxes has been recorded in the financial statements. Step up for students has made an election under section 501(h) of the internal revenue code, which permits certain eligible 501(c)(3) organizations to make limited expenditures to influence legislation. Step up for students would be subject to an excise tax if it spends more than the amounts permitted. Such limits have not been exceeded. The alabama opportunity scholarship fund is a disregarded entity for federal and state income tax purposes and therefore, reports all federal and state tax information through step up for students. Accordingly, no provision for federal and state income taxes has been recorded in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. C2 opportunity scholarships and academics+ opportunity scholarship fund are disregarded entities for federal and state income tax purposes and therefore, reports all federal and state income tax information through step up for students. Accordingly, no provision for federal and state income taxes has been recorded in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Step up for students follows accounting standards relating to accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. Management assessed whether there were any uncertain tax positions which may give rise to income tax liabilities and determined that there were no such matters requiring recognition in the consolidated financial statements. Generally, step up for students is no longer subject to u.s. Federal or state income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before june 30, 2017.”
“Investment loss included in other costs in fs -39,053.”
“Alabama opportunity action fund expenses 128,534. Investment loss included in other costs in fs 39,053.”
“In 2021, step up for students had an increase in software which is the result of the organization's investment in a new software platform to better serve our scholarship students and families. The platform will contain student accounts and will be the platform on which payments to schools, providers, and parents will be recorded. This will be cloud-based, which will allow step up for students to better manage future growth in programs, while enhancing the student/family experience and supporting schools and providers. The new platform will have an artificial intelligence component and workflows to provide a more modern, faster experience for users.”

| IRS990/Desc | 0 | FLORIDA TAX CREDIT SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM:IN THE 2020-21 SCHOOL YEAR, 104,165 UNDERPRIVILEGED STUDENTS ATTENDED 1,938 PRIVATE SCHOOLS ON A STEP UP FOR STUDENTS' TAX CREDIT SCHOLARSHIP. THE K-12 SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM WAS CREATED IN 2001 TO HELP ALLEVIATE THE ENORMOUS EDUCATIONAL CHALLENGES FACED BY CHILDREN WHO LIVE IN POVERTY, AND IT IS NOW THE LARGEST SUCH SCHOLARSHIP IN THE NATION. ELIGIBLE STUDENTS COULD RECEIVE MAXIMUN SCHOLARSHIPS OF $8,715, DEPENDING ON GRADE LEVEL AND COUNTY RESIDENCE, FOR PRIVATE SCHOOL TUITION AND FEES OR UP TO $750 IN TRANSPORTATION COSTS TO ATTEND AN OUT-OF-DISTRICT PUBLIC SCHOOL. THE AVERAGE HOUSEHOLD INCOME FOR PARTICIPANTS WAS JUST 24% ABOVE THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL, AND 56% OF THE STUDENTS WERE FROM SINGLE-PARENT HOUSEHOLDS.A STUDY ON STANDARDIZED TEST SCORES RELEASED IN JULY 2020 SHOWED THAT SCHOLARSHIP STUDENTS ACHIEVED THE SAME GAINS IN READING AND MATH AS STUDENTS OF ALL INCOME LEVELS NATIONALLY, EVEN AS THE STUDENTS WHO CHOSE THE SCHOLARSHIP WERE AMONG THE POOREST AND LOWEST-PERFORMING STUDENTS FROM THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS THEY LEFT BEHIND. IN FEBRUARY 2019, THE URBAN INSTITUTE REPORTED THAT SCHOLARSHIP STUDENTS ARE 43 PERCENT MORE LIKELY THAN THEIR PUBLIC-SCHOOL PEERS TO ATTEND COLLEGE AND 20 PERCENT MORE LIKELY TO EARN BACHOLER'S DEGREES. |
