Advance review - board or compensation committee shall review and approve compensation arrangements in advance, provided that persons with a conflict of interest with respect to a given compensation arrangement do not participate in the review or approval of such compensation arrangement. 2.

“The audit process has not changed from the previous year.”

Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

“The organization is a not-for-profit organization that is exempt from income taxes under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code (irc). However, the organization is subject to tax on income unrelated to its exempt purposes, unless that income is otherwise excluded by the irc. In addition, the organization has been determined by the internal revenue service not to be a private foundation within the meaning of section 509(a) of the irc. There was no unrelated business income tax for the period and year ended june 30, 2025 and for the period ended june 30, 2024. The organization files u.s. Federal and state information returns. The organization is no longer subject to u.s. Federal and state income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2021. Management believes that the organization's income tax filing positions will be sustained on audit and does not anticipate any adjustments that will result in a material change.”

MAKERS UNITED IS COMMITTED TO BUILDING A BETTER-CONNECTED ECOSYSTEM FOR MAKERS. TO DO THIS, NEST MAPS THE LOCAL LANDSCAPE OF SMALL BUSINESS SUPPORT AND CONNECTS THE DOTS BETWEEN MAKERS AND THE LOCAL, NATIONAL, AND PEER RESOURCES THEY NEED. ADDITIONALLY, THROUGH THE PROGRAM, CREATIVE ENTREPRENEURS CAN GAIN ACCESS TO EXCLUSIVE OPPORTUNITIES LIKE THE MADEWELL MAKER COLLECTIVE, ETSY'S UPLIFT MAKERS PROGRAM, NEST'S FLAGSHIP MAKERS FUTURE FUND, AND MORE! NEST SUPPORTS HISTORICALLY MARGINALIZED COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE US AND INVESTS IN THE PRESERVATION OF IMPORTANT CRAFT TRADITIONS. THESE SPECIAL PROGRAMS INCLUDE WORK WITH GEE'S BEND QUILTERS OF ALABAMA, THE GULLAH WEAVERS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, NATIVE AND INDIGENOUS CRAFTSPEOPLE, MAKERS IN APPALACHIA, NYC'S GARMENT DISTRICT, THE CRAFT COMMUNITY IN PUERTO RICO. ADDITIONALLY, WE HAVE A REGIONAL PROGRAM FOR ARRIVING IMMIGRANTS AND REFUGEES IN 4 STATES.NEST'S ETHICAL HANDCRAFT PROGRAM IS REVOLUTIONIZING THE INDUSTRY BY MAKING HOMEWORK A SAFE AND VIABLE OPTION FOR WORKERS WORLDWIDE. LEVERAGING INTERNATIONAL LABOR ORGANIZATION PRINCIPLES, NEST DEVELOPED THE FIRST-EVER SET OF UNIVERSALLY APPLICABLE STANDARDS AND VERIFICATION METHODOLOGY FOR DECENTRALIZED SUPPLY CHAINS IN THE UNREGULATED INFORMAL ECONOMY. ESTIMATES SUGGEST THAT AROUND THE WORLD 300 MILLION PEOPLE, THE MAJORITY OF WHOM ARE WOMEN, ARE WORKING FROM THEIR HOMES OR SMALL WORKSHOPS TO SUPPORT FASHION AND HOME DECOR PRODUCTION. THIS WORK RANGES FROM SKILLED-BASED LABOR LIKE HAND-KNOTTING RUGS AND SEWING SOLES ONTO SHOES, TO STRINGING BEADED JEWELRY, CRAFTING DECORATIVE TASSELS, FOLDING TISSUE PAPER, AND PACKING POLY BAGS. FOR THESE WORKERS, HANDWORK OFFERS THEM AN OPPORTUNITY TO EARN AN INCOME WHILE CARING FOR THEIR FAMILIES AND LIMITS THE NEED FOR LONG AND SOMETIMES DANGEROUS TRAVEL INTO CITIES. LAUNCHED AT THE UNITED NATIONS ALONGSIDE A COMMITTEE OF FOUNDING BRANDS AND RETAILERS, THE PROGRAM HAS REACHED SUPPLY CHAINS ON 5 CONTINENTS. TODAY, NEST PARTNERS WITH BRANDS LIKE TARGET, WEST ELM, POTTERY BARN, AND PATAGONIA TO IMPLEMENT ETHICAL HANDCRAFT PROGRAMMING WITHIN SELECT SUPPLY CHAINS. THIS PROVIDES THEM WITH GREATER INSIGHT INTO THEIR PRODUCTION AND ENABLES THEM TO MAKE BETTER-INFORMED SOURCING DECISIONS AND IMPACTFUL CORPORATE POLICIES. 57% INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF BUSINESSES THAT HAVE POLICIES ON CRITICAL RIGHTS AND WELLBEING FOR HOME-BASED WORKERS; 72% INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF BUSINESSES THAT HAVE A SET MINIMUM HIRING AGE; A NECESSARY BENCHMARK TO LIMIT CHILD LABOR; 78% INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF BUSINESSES THAT HAVE SET ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION GUIDELINES FOR THEIR PRODUCTION. NEST'S ARTISAN BUSINESS ACCELERATORS ARE APPLICATION-BASED, INTENSIVE, AND HOLISTIC PROGRAMS THAT PROVIDE HIGH-POTENTIAL HANDCRAFT BUSINESSES AND SOCIAL ENTERPRISES FROM THE NEST GUILD WITH THE SUPPORT THEY NEED TO BECOME VITAL PLAYERS IN THE INTERNATIONAL MARKETPLACE. NEST'S FLAGSHIP PROGRAM, THE ARTISAN ACCELERATOR, CONTINUES TO ESTABLISH ITSELF AS THE PREEMINENT ACCELERATOR OF ARTISAN BUSINESSES EQUIPPING HIGHLY-MOTIVATED SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURS WITH A SUITE OF TARGETED PROGRAMMING TO DRIVE THEIR BUSINESS GROWTH AND SOCIAL IMPACT IN THE HANDCRAFT SECTOR. HANDCRAFT ENTERPRISES THAT PARTICIPATE IN ANY OF NEST'S BUSINESS ACCELERATOR PROGRAMS GAIN ACCESS TO KEY LEARNING RESOURCES AND DEVELOP NEW SKILLS TO COMPLEMENT AND STRENGTHEN THEIR BUSINESS OPERATIONS, DEVELOP AND MARKET THEIR PRODUCTS, AND SUPPORT THEIR WORKERS
