On November 10, 2026, Iowa’s business search listed corporation 841292 as Active, and IRS Tax Exempt Organization Search listed EIN 39-4415430 in Publication 78 with deductibility code PC.

The nonprofit and its initiatives.
Literacy for a Lifetime is the nonprofit organization. More in Reach is its first educational initiative in development, with a separate campaign experience being developed. The initiative has not publicly launched. It is not a separate nonprofit or a change to the organization’s legal name.
The current prototype includes fictional worked examples, plain-language guides, a printable worksheet and optional prompts that learners can take to their chosen AI provider. Future initiatives and research will be identified clearly as they are developed.
No additional initiative, operating research community, provider ranking or completed study is represented as launched.
Education, not individualized advice.
Literacy for a Lifetime provides general educational information, not individualized financial, investment, tax, legal or benefits advice. Examples are illustrative and do not guarantee savings, eligibility or other results. AI-assisted material may be inaccurate, incomplete or outdated. Check original sources and consult an appropriately qualified professional about your circumstances.
Examples marked fictional are illustrations, not actual offers, individual results or promises of savings. No particular result, eligibility decision or financial outcome is guaranteed.
Third-party tools may have their own fees, terms and privacy practices. Check those directly before using a tool, and do not place unredacted bills, passwords or financial account details in a prompt.
Editorial status and independence.
This website was prepared with AI assistance and human review. Planned programs, research and funding principles are identified as proposals. No completed study findings or measured participant outcomes are claimed.
Funding should support the work, not buy the answer.
Our proposed funding principles would prevent support from buying favorable findings, preferred-provider placement, participant leads or a veto over publication. Funding sources and relevant relationships should be disclosed. These principles are proposed for organizational review, not presented as formally adopted policy.
Product names are not endorsements.
References or links to third-party products and resources are for identification and education. They do not, by themselves, imply sponsorship, partnership, approval or endorsement in either direction. Use of a hosting or AI service does not make the organization affiliated with that provider.
This institutional website contains no affiliate links or sponsor placements. Any future material relationship connected to a recommendation should be disclosed clearly beside that content, not just in the footer.
Giving status and tax information.
Donations are not being accepted through this website. There is no donation checkout, pledge collection, recurring-gift form or donor registration.
The IRS determination letter states that contributions are deductible under Section 170. The tax treatment of a particular gift depends on the gift and the donor’s circumstances. Consult a qualified tax advisor.
Before online giving opens, the organization will need a verified payment process, accurate gift terms, appropriate acknowledgments and any required solicitation disclosures. Proposed funding priorities are not commitments about the allocation of a particular gift.
No employer matching offer, matching ratio, fundraising total or grant award is claimed on this website.
Public records and accountability.
Federal public-inspection requirements generally cover a tax-exempt organization’s exemption application, supporting materials and determination letter, along with applicable annual information returns for the required period. These obligations apply independently of this website’s launch.
For requests to inspect or obtain copies of documents the organization is legally required to make available, contact hankdwilliams@me.com. Posting records online is one possible way to make access easier; a website is not the only compliance route.
Public-inspection copies are separate from unrelated confidential records. Only legally permitted omissions may be made from required public documents.
