News entrusted by Brenden Gladden Wilhelm.

If this organization does have a net worth of $6,322,459.00, why has it not filed a return?

Please investigate this organization immediately.

Doing the best job I've seen in a long time. I am eager to have an opportunity to partner again. The basketball comp. at the berry homes were great. We need more programs like yours.

Great Job guys and Gals. I live across the street from Fairlawn Ave and enjoy walking down to the marina. After seeing the clean up the Apex volunteers began this summer I am happy to support their initiative. Wish the city and federal agencies take note and support their projects to beautify these overlooked areas.

Hey, love you guys, and sharing some love, thanks for bringing us to the United Nations for World Youth Day -2014. It showed me the world in action, instead of the gloomy run-down ghetto of the Bronx where I live.



Apex Development Foundation rocks!

Liberian Civic Community of Staten Island would like to thank Apex staff for helping setup legal structure for AfterSchool Programming with our staff for the Nevending Tutoring Foundation.

During Hurrican Sandy 2012 , Apex Development Foundation helped victims in the South Shore of Staten Island get items needed and helped with neighborhood clean up.

We helped clean up the Elks Lodge on authru kill rd. in 2008. Graffiti was an eyesore and Apex Development staff took to task and painted over it. The Lodge and War veterans are grateful.

I was part of the DYCD Summer Youth employment 2013 and 2014 and Apex Development Foundation provided at the Loft Learning Center In Brooklyn NY. We had a great time meeting the staff and Tony Bonner was a good mentor. He helped us with Financial Literacy. I was paid about $900.00 for the SYEP program held by Apex . Thanks Guys. I would def. recommend this program and agency.

Great Organization, I was there when Apex Development Foundation held a career day at New Dorp HS in Staten Island. If I can find the pictures i will upload them. . Love the guys and gals there. Sending love and support. Apex gets my full support.

Charity came out to B tech and did a coding program that assisted the kids on career day also they felt with the empty classes that weren't being served that day

This organization Cleaned Up The Gateway National Park in Great Kills Staten Island with the support of City Council Member Joe Borelli District Office and the Congressman Dan Donovan, Also the mansion ave homeowners benefited from the beautification of the area . on Masion Ave. Garbage was being dumped. Now it should still be maintained but im happy to see Apex Development Foundation get the community together to clean up the neighborhood.

To this day Apex Development Foundation continues to be supported by elected officials for its charitable programs.

Sadly guide Star allows any comments from anyone. Previous negative comments here are from an alcoholic that used to ask for help from this organization. Many members of the org have consulted the sick individual and tried to help him but to no avail. We try to help all that request our help. Sadly mentally illness is rampant among minority communities. Many people from this organization have severed all ties to the sad individual. He apparently feels abandoned. We pray he gets the mental help he needs. Mental Health is a top priority for many Nonprofits and should be supported.

Robert Pontrelli is a scam artist who not only runs a fake organization,but owes over 30,000 in child support.Why shoud he be involved with helping others especially children,when he doesnt even take care of his own!

This organization should not be on Greatnonprofits.org

This organization is run by a 34 year old former Insane Asylum resident of St. Vincent's on Staten Island.

This organization has raised $0.00 since its inception

This organization is based out of a bathroom stall in a Staten island Pathmark

This organization is run by a creature who presently sleeps on the Staten Island Railroad

This organization is run by a creature who calls people 99+ times to beg for forgiveness

This organization has raised $0.00 since its inception

This organization has never held a fundraiser, hence its net worth

This organization is run by an individual who engages in homosexual sodomy for his enjoyment

This organization has a founder who files false tax returns

This organization has dealt with many individuals, yet raised no money, due to the illiteracy of its founder.

Great job Guys. Just heard about the nice video work you guys stay doing. Time to help the Youth from old people that are in the community. A friend of mine wants to hire you guys to do there charity commercial. I ll contact your staff thanks for helping my Charity.

We just keep improving the community in Brooklyn NEW YORK and providing mentorship with local members both teens and adults /parents to develop there projects and approach to changing tomorrows youth for the better. now this story has been told to all our staff members as it happened as we have footage of these two parties in question.

This actually a An APex Update Mid-Summer /Fall 2013 Review which funny enough will clarify a tasteless comment left by one Ausar123 making the claim that Apex's Members are involved in Criminal activity and Using Grant money for illicit purposes there by claiming even the Senator and NYC DYCD is involved in Criminal Activity.Which may result in a lawsuit against Guidestar and Ausar123.whoever it may be.

Unfortunately this comment will remain until guide star a (very useless websight in my opinion) removes one prior comment falsely accusing Apex Development Foundation of theft.

The very word theft brings only one issue and only two affiliates that actually had pressed charges against each other due to both parties inferior knowledge of charity law . The comments by Ausar123 falsely claiming he was an Advisor has many lies and is quickly identified as either one of two individuals. Showing this lack of knowledge Ausar123 states "the Owner of Apex Development Foundation". This Show his lack of knowledge.

Our Staff is well aware that a public charity has no owner nor can it because it is a public entity. So this fact incriminates Ausar123 for defamation of Character. At no time did any on record advisor ever leave Apex Development Foundation. So we now have two candidates as to who has falsely represented Apex Development.

The CEO from Ascension Society as one and one The Young Entrepreneurs Development Foundation.
Both of whom agreed to work together to host a call center in 95th street brooklyn new york .

This is the only time where a confused and sad individual CEO of Ascension Society had irresponsibly gave a Brand new Mac laptop to the Young Entrepreneurs without requesting a receipt of any kind. (Once again a big foolish mistake when concerning a donated item.) When this item was given to Mark Gurell CEO of YEDF (Young Entrepreneurs Development Foundation ) and then left at his 95th Street 4th ave Brooklyn New york Print Shop's back room (which was to be a call center for volunteers of YEDF) for about 30 days. this space also was shared by a dominican style hair saloon . There were numerous individuals who may have had access to it. However at no point did either party seek any paper work from each other. Although i had advised both parties on the basics of running a non profit. But its up to them to take action , even printing out the donee form from the IRS for CEO of YEDF while CEO of AS was present.

Apex Development Staff did not seek to meddle with the affairs as both CEOs had there own methods of dealing with there issues. in September CEO of YEDF mentioned not being able to pay for that months rent and stated he had used the security deposit of 900 the month prior to pay the rent. So they might be evicted. Apex Development Foundation Staff , had no interest in paying for a forprofit company and explained that to both parties. and continued to work in the community if Brooklyn NY , at the Apex Offices 350 tompkins ave also named the Loft Learning Center. (Neither party in question had any legitimate office space to work out of .) A week after CEO of YEDF was evicted and locked out of 95th st 4th ave . He claimed that the mac was in the store. and CEO OF AS attempted to contact Mr.Gurell numerous times , and continued to do so repeatedly , and went to the police attempting to press charges against CEO MARK GURELL. Police laughed this off by asking him to produce evidence a reciept or some contract stating it was not a gift. CEO MARK GURELL HAD CLAIMED and understood it was a gift for his girlfriend of whom CEO of AS was quiet fond of for some bizarre reason.

Perhaps both parties did advise Apex Development Staff and CEO in some strange twisted way the need to reinforce the need of not helping individuals that ask for help unless the pay a membership due. SIKE ! We already have that !LOL thats why all our board members are extremely happy with out progress. After numerous attempts to file a report against CEO of YEDF ,for theft CEO OF AS gave up supposedly .I understood that he sent CEO of Apex insulting messages as well as CEO of YEDF . A.S. CEO had many times the opportunity to take his MAC laptop back before they were evicted , but dealing with CEO YEDF 's girlfriend was unable to bring himself to due so . Which made Apex staff completely bewildered as to what power she had over him (CEO of Ascension Society).

So the whole Apex Staff is well aware of both these parties short comings and foolish actions . shannaigins. CEO of AS advised us on how to lose your own property and CEO of YEDF show Apex Staff who to lose your Print shop and Hair-saloon.

Since then OCT 2013 Apex CEO and staff have had no contact with either party. That is the Self proclaimed advisor. if either party advised Apex Staff we surely lose everything. So who is ausar123 making false accusations. Our legal team will discuss this matter with Guide star staff . seeking a lawsuit from both parties if false comments are not removed .

Have a great day. Friends and get off the internet to find about what charities are doing , thats pathetic. goto there offices and see their website and see there annual reports and request internal audits and Operational Budgets . Invite the staff to a meeting , wake up people . There are alot of sick people on the internet , you guys have no idea.

Apex staff ,

PS The artificial s will expire 2015-2025 A new Age we move into Global Agendas will soon do away with unsustainable development . BRICS NATIONS 2020 its already here.

Greeting ,

Just to make a comment of clarification all advisors and Directors are Very grateful for the work concerning the DCYD Summer Youth Employment , where Apex Development Foundation had Facilitated 18 young adults ages 14-22 at 350 Tompkins Ave. Where all participants received pay at the rate of $7.25
paid for by the NYC Dept. of Youth and Community Development. During July 8 to August 18 2013. Where CEO Robert Pontrelli was instrumental in the establishing the Partnership with the City of New York.
