Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

Form 990, Page 1, Part I, Line 6

“The statement of functional expenses is prepared on the gaap basis and therefore fails to account for the value of volunteer labor. Program expenses are kept very low due to the organization's use of volunteers to deliver most of the program's teaching. Volunteers gave over 86,515 teaching and preparation hours during the year. The independent sector has set 22.37 per hour as the value for volunteer hours in arizona. This means the work done by volunteers was worth approximately 1,935,534. With this amount added to the organization's expenses, the percentage of the entire budget spent on programs is 90%, with only 3% and 7% spent on administrative and fundraising functions respectively.”

Form 990, Page 2, Part III, Line 4D

“Reach out and read southern arizona (rorsa) prepares children to succeed in school by partnering with doctors in 60 clinics, reaching 38,918 children from 6 months to 5 years to prescribe free books and encourage families to read together.”

Financial Statement Notes

Schedule D, Page 2, Part V, Line 4

“The organization's endowment consists of a fund designated by the board of directors to function as an endowment to support general operations. Income from endowments may be used at the board's discretion.”

Schedule D, Page 3, Part X

“The organization's policy is to disclose or recognize income tax positions based on management's estimate of whether it is reasonably possible or probable, respectively, that a liability has been incurred for unrecognized income tax positions. As of june 30, 2015, management is not aware of any uncertain tax positions that are potentially material.”
