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 83,735 teaching and preparation hours during the year. The independent sector has set 23.56 per hour as the value for volunteer hours in arizona. This means the work done by volunteers was worth approximately 1,972,797. With this amount added to the organization's expenses, the percentage of the entire budget spent on programs is 91%, with only 3% and 6% spent on administrative and fundraising functions respectively.
