“Dave katz, secretary, and kerry olson, board member have a family relationship.”
“There are no other committees that can act on behalf of the full board of directors.”
“The federal form 990 is reviewed in detail by the treasurer, the finance committee and the executive director. It is then shared with the entire board of directors for their review prior to filing with the internal revenue service.”
“The board members sign a conflict of interest policy on an annual basis. All board members and advisory council members are asked at each meeting to declare any conflicts of interest they may have. If any conflicts of interest arise, the board members will discuss the next steps and document how to rectify the situation. The conflict of interest policy for employees is incorporated into the employee handbook, which all employees sign when they are first employed and when there is a significant revision to the handbook. If a conflict of interest should arise, the conflict and the resolution of the conflict are documented in a memo reviewed by the executive director and/or the human resources manager.”
“The executive director's salary is set by the board of directors, by reviewing other exempt organizations federal form 990 and a compensation survey or study. Other employees' salaries are set according to a salary schedule where jobs are ranked and there is a predetermined salary range for each ranking. These ranges are benchmarked against other similar organizations, so that the salaries are both reasonable and competitive. The last compensation study was conducted in june 2017.”
“The articles of incorporation, bylaws, and conflict of interest policy are available on request. The audit report and federal form 990 are posted on firelight's website, and the financial statements are available in an abbreviated form in the annual report.”
“Capacity building: program service expenses 417,304. Management and general expenses 0. Fundraising expenses 0. Total expenses 417,304. Learning and education: program service expenses 223,158. Management and general expenses 0. Fundraising expenses 0. Total expenses 223,158. Consultants: program service expenses 276,161. Management and general expenses 20,479. Fundraising expenses 60,835. Total expenses 357,475. Temporary help: program service expenses 267,315. Management and general expenses 0. Fundraising expenses 0. Total expenses 267,315.”
“Firelight's policy is to make available on july 1 of each year, as expendable income, an amount equal to the greater of the yearly return of the previous fiscal year or four percent of the average of the long-term reserve funds' total market value for the four quarters ending march 31 of the previous fiscal year. The board of directors may also authorize withdrawal of the principal of the quasi-endowment should it be determined to be in the best interest of firelight.”
“Firelight reviews and assesses all activities annually to identify any changes in the scope of the activities and revenue sources and the tax treatment thereof to identify any uncertainty in income taxes. For the years ended june 30, 2018 and 2017, no provision for income taxes was made, as firelight had no net unrelated business income and did not identify any uncertainty in income taxes requiring recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.”

| IRS990/Desc | 0 | SUPPORTING EARLY CHILDHOOD DEVELOPMENT SYSTEMS AND STRENGTHENING PRIMARY EDUCATION WITH THE SUPPORT OF COMIC RELIEF, THE CONRAD N. HILTON FOUNDATION AND THE BAINUM FAMILY FOUNDATION, FIRELIGHT HAS BEEN SUPPORTING 18 COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS IN MALAWI, TANZANIA, AND ZAMBIA TO STRENGTHEN EARLY CHILDHOOD DEVELOPMENT (ECD) CENTERS AND FAMILY- BASED TRAINING PROGRAMS THAT PROMOTE CHILDREN'S HOLISTIC DEVELOPMENT, ESPECIALLY IN AREAS THAT ARE AFFECTED BY HIV. ECD IS CRITICAL TO CHILDREN'S ABILITY TO THRIVE IN THEIR EARLY YEARS AND ALSO IMPACTS THEIR ABILITY TO SUCCEED IN SCHOOL, BUT ONLY 12% OF CHILDREN IN SUB- SAHARAN AFRICA CURRENTLY HAVE ACCESS TO QUALITY EARLY CHILDHOOD SERVICES. EVEN WHERE ECD CENTERS DO EXIST, THEY OFTEN OPERATE MORE AS A DAYCARE FOR PARENTS DURING WORK HOURS, RATHER THAN A ROBUST SUPPORT TO CHILDREN'S COGNITIVE, EMOTIONAL, AND SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT. IN 2017, FIRELIGHT CONCENTRATED ON TWO MAJOR AREAS: IMPROVING ECD CENTER QUALITY IN MALAWI; AND EMPOWERING FAMILIES OF CHILDREN FROM BIRTH TO AGE THREE IN TANZANIA AND ZAMBIA. OUR GRANTEE-PARTNERS IN MALAWI ARE ESTABLISHING AND STRENGTHENING ECD CENTERS - INCLUDING BUILDING BASIC INFRASTRUCTURE, CREATING SUPPORTIVE LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS, AND TRAINING ECD CAREGIVERS - TO SERVE THE NEEDS OF CHILDREN FROM BIRTH TO AGE 5 AND OF THEIR FAMILIES. IN MALAWI, WE ARE ALSO PILOTING A TRAINING PROGRAM OF ECD PERSONNEL THAT INCLUDES CLASSROOM COACHING AND ONGOING MENTORING FROM LOCAL EXPERTS IN CHILD DEVELOPMENT. IN TANZANIA AND ZAMBIA, OUR GRANTEE-PARTNERS ARE PILOTING THE CARE FOR CHILD DEVELOPMENT CURRICULUM, A PROGRAM DEVELOPED BY WHO AND UNICEF TO EMPOWER PARENTS AND CAREGIVERS TO STRENGTHEN THEIR CHILDREN'S COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT. OUR GRANTEE-PARTNERS HAVE ALSO INTEGRATED A VARIETY OF HOLISTIC PROGRAMS THAT SERVE CHILDREN'S AND FAMILIES' MULTI- FACETED NEEDS, INCLUDING SAVINGS AND LOANS GROUPS TO PROMOTE FAMILIES' ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT, FEEDING PROGRAMS TO PROVIDE BASIC NUTRITION TO CHILDREN AT ECD CENTERS, VOLUNTARY COUNSELING AND TESTING FOR HIV AND AIDS THROUGH COMMUNITY HEALTH ACTIVITIES, AND INCOME-GENERATING ACTIVITIES TO SUSTAIN SOME OF THE EXPENSES INVOLVED IN RUNNING THE ECD CENTERS. |

| IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc | 0 | CHILD PROTECTION AND ENDING CHILD MARRIAGE WITH FUNDING FROM THE OAK FOUNDATION, DOROTHEA HAUS ROSS FOUNDATION, AND THE WELLSPRING PHILANTHROPIC FUND, FIRELIGHT HAS BEEN SUPPORTING A CLUSTER OF 10 COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS AND 2 LEAD PARTNERS THAT ARE FIGHTING TO SYSTEMATICALLY ELIMINATE CHILD MARRIAGE IN THE SHINYANGA REGION OF TANZANIA, WHERE 59% OF GIRLS UNDER 18 ARE STILL FORCED INTO MARRIAGE. OUR GRANTEE-PARTNERS ARE DEPLOYING A VARIETY OF HOLISTIC APPROACHES TO END CHILD MARRIAGE IN THE REGION. THEIR APPROACHES INCLUDE ECONOMIC STRENGTHENING FOR FAMILIES, PSYCHOSOCIAL SUPPORT FOR CHILDREN RESCUED FROM CHILD MARRIAGE, EDUCATIONAL SUPPORT FOR CHILDREN RESCUED FROM OR AT RISK OF CHILD MARRIAGE, SKILLFUL PARENTING ASSISTANCE FOR FAMILIES, CULTURAL AWARENESS RAISING, LAW ENFORCEMENT INTERVENTIONS, STRENGTHENING LOCAL CHILD PROTECTION TEAMS, ESTABLISHING YOUTH CLUBS FOR CHILDREN IN SCHOOL, AND TRAINING TEACHERS ON CHILD PROTECTION. COMMUNITIES HAVE ALREADY REPORTED REDUCTIONS IN CHILD MARRIAGES AND PREGNANCIES AND HAVE SEEN A SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN LOCAL UNDERSTANDING OF THE PROBLEMS OF CHILD MARRIAGE AND IN THE COMMUNITIES' DESIRE TO STOP THIS PRACTICE. FIRELIGHT HAS ALSO BEEN SUPPORTING ONE COMMUNITY GRANT MAKER - TOUCH ROOTS AFRICA (TRA)- AND 6 COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS TO RESPOND TO THE MULTIFACETED NEEDS OF VULNERABLE CHILDREN IN LESOTHO. LESOTHO, A LANDLOCKED COUNTRY IN SOUTHERN AFRICA, HAS THE SECOND HIGHEST PREVALENCE OF HIV AND AIDS IN THE WORLD, WITH OVER 25% OF THE POPULATION INFECTED WITH HIV. DUE TO THE TRAGIC IMPACT OF THE CRISIS, THOUSANDS OF CHILDREN HAVE BEEN ORPHANED AND LEFT VULNERABLE TO HIV AND AIDS, CHILD ABUSE, MALNUTRITION, AND POVERTY. SUB-GRANTS THAT COMMUNITY GRANT MAKER TRA MADE TO SMALLER, LOCAL CBOS RANGED FROM $6,300 TO $8,500 AND WERE USED TO STRENGTHEN EACH COMMUNITY'S CHILD PROTECTION SYSTEMS. APPROACHES TO IMPROVING CHILD PROTECTION SYSTEMS RANGED FROM CASE MANAGEMENT AND REPORTING, TO MEETING BASIC NEEDS OF CHILDREN THROUGH NUTRITION PROGRAMS AND EDUCATION, TO COUNSELING AND SUPPORT GROUPS FOR CHILDREN, TO SUSTAINABLE INCOME-GENERATING ACTIVITIES (SUCH AS CATERING OR LIVESTOCK BUSINESS) FOR FAMILIES, TO COMMUNITY AWARENESS CAMPAIGNS, TO IMPROVEMENT OF PARENT/CAREGIVER INVOLVEMENT. |

| IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc | 0 | IMPROVING ACCESS TO GIRLS' SECONDARY EDUCATION IN MALAWIFIRELIGHT IS FUNDED BY THE MASTERCARD FOUNDATION, DUBAI CARES, AND THE FLORA FAMILY FOUNDATION TO SUPPORT FOUR LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS IN MALAWI TO DEVELOP COMMUNITY-DRIVEN IDEAS THAT IMPROVE THE TRANSITION, PERSISTENCE, AND EXAM PASS RATES FOR VULNERABLE GIRLS IN MALAWI'S PUBLIC COMMUNITY DAY SECONDARY SCHOOL (CDSS) SYSTEM. TODAY, CDSSS FACE SIGNIFICANT CHALLENGES, FROM POORLY TRAINED TEACHERS, TO LIMITED TEACHING AND LEARNING MATERIALS, TO AN OUTDATED CURRICULUM. PARENTS, STUDENTS AND COMMUNITIES ARE SKEPTICAL OF THE VALUE OF SCHOOLING AT THE CDSSS, AND THUS EARLY MARRIAGE FOR GIRLS IS OFTEN PRIORITIZED OVER SECONDARY SCHOOL ENROLLMENT. FIRELIGHT'S GRANTEE-PARTNERS WERE SUPPORTED TO USE HUMAN-CENTERED DESIGN-THINKING TECHNIQUES TO UNCOVER THE ROOT CAUSES THAT KEPT ADOLESCENT GIRLS OUT OF THE CDSS SYSTEM AND TO THEN BUILD INNOVATIVE, COMMUNITY-DRIVEN PROGRAMS THAT SUPPORT FAMILIES TO SUPPORT THEIR GIRLS' EDUCATION. EACH PARTNER HAS DEVELOPED A DIFFERENT MODEL FOR REFORMING THE CDSS SYSTEM, FROM ENTREPRENEURSHIP TRAINING IN SCHOOLS, TO A DEDICATED SOCIAL FUND TO SUPPORT YOUNG GIRLS, TO A MULTI-FACETED CULTURAL PROGRAM TO SHIFT COMMUNITY ATTITUDES TOWARDS SECONDARY SCHOOLING, TO DEDICATED LIVELIHOOD DEVELOPMENT FOR FAMILIES SUPPORTING YOUNG WOMEN THROUGH SECONDARY SCHOOL. WE HAVE ALREADY BEGUN TO SEE SIGNIFICANT RESULTS: REDUCED SCHOOL DROPOUT RATES, INCREASED GIRLS' PARTICIPATION IN CLASS, AND INCREASED PARENT CONTRIBUTIONS TO THEIR GIRLS' EDUCATION. |
