| IRS990ScheduleA/Form990ScheduleAPartVIGrp/ExplanationTxt | 1 | LAMAZE GENERATES SUBSTANTIAL REVENUES FROM LICENSING ITS NAME AND LOGO TO COMPANIES THAT PRODUCE CAREFULLY CHOSEN ITEMS FOR PARENTS, BABIES AND EXPECTANT FAMILIES. THESE ROYALTY-GENERATING PROGRAMS ARE RELATED TO LAMAZE'S EXEMPT PURPOSE AND ARE PROPERLY CATEGORIZED AS "GROSS RECEIPTS FROM RELATED ACTIVITIES (SCHEDULE A, PART II, SECTION B, LINE 12). THE PRODUCTS THAT LAMAZE LICENSES ITS LOGO AND NAME FOR CONTRIBUTE IMPORTANTLY TO ITS EXEMPT PURPOSE OF PROMOTING SAFE AND HEALTHY PREGNANCY, BIRTH, AND EARLY PARENTING THROUGH EVIDENCE-BASED EDUCATION AND ADVOCACY. THE PRODUCTS HAVE A SUBSTANTIAL CAUSAL RELATIONSHIP TO THE LAMAZE MISSION BECAUSE (1) THEY ALL INCLUDE WEBSITE AND/OR SMART-PHONE APPLICATION INFORMATION WHICH INCREASES OUTREACH FOR LAMAZE'S FREELY AVAILABLE ONLINE AND DIGITAL RESOURCES ABOUT PREGNANCY, CHILDBIRTH, BREASTFEEDING AND PARENTING, AND (2) THEY ALL MEET LAMAZE'S STANDARDS FOR APPROPRIATE AND SAFE PRODUCTS THAT ENHANCE CONSUMERS' ABILITY TO HAVE SAFE AND HEALTHY PREGNANCIES, BIRTHS AND EARLY CHILDHOOD PARENTING EXPERIENCES. PRODUCT LINES INCLUDE BOOKS AND FILMS ABOUT PREGNANCY, BIRTH AND EARLY PARENTING, BABY AND NURSERY GEAR, BABY TOYS, WOMEN'S BODY CARE, PRE-NATAL WOMEN'S APPAREL, POST-NATAL WOMEN'S APPAREL, AND INFANT AND TODDLER APPAREL. DESIGNED IN CONJUNCTION WITH CHILD DEVELOPMENT EXPERTS, LAMAZE CHOOSES PRODUCTS THAT ARE DEVELOPMENTALLY APPROPRIATE WITH COLOR-CODED AGE GRADES FEATURED ON ALL PACKAGING. BECAUSE THESE PRODUCT LINES HELP LAMAZE ACHIEVE ITS EXEMPT PURPOSES, THE ROYALTY INCOME IS PROPERLY EXCLUDED FROM THE TOTAL SUPPORT CATEGORY. PLEASE NOTE THAT ON RETURNS PRIOR TO 2014, LAMAZE INCORRECTLY CHARACTERIZED ITS ROYALTY INCOME AS GROSS RECEIPTS UNRELATED TO ITS EXEMPT PURPOSES (SCHEDULE A, PART II, SECTION B, LINE 8). |
