Accountability
You deserve to know
how your donation is used.
We operate on the belief that transparency is a form of respect. Here is everything you need to know about how EDquity at the Margins is organized and how resources are deployed.

IRS Status

How We Spend
Our free services stay free because paid work with schools and districts, sponsorships, and donations underwrite them, and because our founder contributes the majority of the professional time the organization runs on without pay. As a newly founded organization, we will publish our full financial statements with each annual 990 filing rather than post projections before we have a year of actual spending to report.
We are governed by a board of seven. Two directors are seated, one election is pending, and most of the remaining seats are reserved for parents of children with disabilities.
Milestones
EDquity at the Margins founded by Dr. Reba Clarke-Wedderburn
Incorporated as a Tennessee charitable corporation
Received 501(c)(3) tax-exempt determination from the IRS
Launched the free IEP Audit service and online intake portal
First fiscal year goal: 100 independent IEP audits at no cost to families
Our Commitments
Our independent IEP Audit is free, our Know Your Rights workshops are free, and our Advocacy Toolkit and My Child's Playbook are free to download. EDquity Scholars seats are funded by sponsors and free to every family, with seats limited by available funding.
We never accept payment from a school district in connection with an individual child's case. Schools and districts that enroll in our IEP Quality Improvement Program are purchasing a review of their own IEP quality across their system, and no family service is ever funded by the district whose documents we review.
We publish our EIN and organizational filings so anyone can verify our nonprofit status.
We will never sell subscriber data or family information to any third party.
Have a question about our finances?
We are happy to answer any questions from donors, funders, or community members about how we use resources.
