Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 2

Certain KnowledgeWorks Foundation board members are also members of the boards of certain KnowledgeWorks Foundation affiliates. These overlapping board memberships constitute a "business relationship" as defined by the Form 990 instructions.

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 3

KnowledgeWorks Foundation contracted with Nelnet to administer its student lending programs.

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 4

During the tax year, KnowledgeWorks amended its regulations to add a second at-large member to the Executive Committee and establish a Development Committee as a standing committee of the Board.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11B

After completion by the preparer, the draft Form 990 is reviewed by the Accounting Director and the CFO. The final draft of the Form 990 is reviewed with the Audit Committee. After it receives the approval of the Audit Committee, the final Form 990 is distributed to all members of the Board of Directors before it is filed.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12C

On an annual basis a Conflict of Interest questionnaire is completed by directors, officers and key employees and reviewed by management. Items reported are discussed with Legal Counsel, who advises management and the board of any required actions. The Conflict of Interest Policy is distributed with the annual questionnaire and is also accessible on the secure director's portion of the Foundation's website.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15

The compensation of the CEO, other officers, and key employees are set by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors utilizing a compensation study performed by an independent compensation consulting firm comparing similar positions in similar organizations, including review of Form 990s for other organizations.

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19

The consolidated financial statements of KnowledgeWorks Foundation and its subsidiaries are available on the KnowledgeWorks Foundation website. KnowledgeWorks Foundation's Form 990 is also available on its own website. The governing documents and Conflict of Interest policy are available upon request.

Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

Form 990, Part XI, line 9:

Unrealized loss on liability for student loan residual -733,953. Amortization of discount on student loans 633,733. Transfer from Tax-Exempt Subsidiary - KWI 9,522,749.

Financial Statement Notes

Part X, Line 2:

The Foundation has analyzed tax positions taken for filing with the IRS and all state jurisdictions where it operates. The Foundation believes that income tax filing positions will be sustained upon examination and does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material adverse effect on the Foundation's financial position, statement of activities, or cash flows. Accordingly, the Foundation has not recorded any reserves or related accruals for interest and penalties for uncertain income tax positions at June 30, 2018 and 2017. In the event interest and penalties accrued on unrecognized tax benefits, the Foundation would recognize such amounts as a component of income tax expense.

IRS990/Desc0KW in Schools:From its inception, KnowledgeWorks has focused on creating personalized learning environments that engage students and help each individual thrive in college, career and civic life. Five years ago, KnowledgeWorks entered the national conversation about personalized, competency-based learning (PCBL) behind a concentration of thoughtful policy briefs focused on federal policy reform, aligned advocacy, and partner engagement. This body of work, combined with over 15 years of on-the-ground experience in innovative school design, implementation, continuous improvement and collective impact, quickly established KnowledgeWorks as a thought leader and trusted resource for policymakers and other organizations launching statewide and local PCBL initiatives. These leaders are now turning to KnowledgeWorks for support bringing to life the PCBL communities that their policies have enabled. As a result, in FY2018 KnowledgeWorks continued to move from policy to practice in the PCBL space. The Organization continued to implement its professional development and technical assistance approach in approximately 25 districts across the country. In addition, KnowledgeWorks began a partnership with the North Dakota Department of Public instruction to implement and scale PCBL in the state, consistent with NDDPI Choice Ready vision. By the close of FY2018, the KW in Schools team was working on implementation projects in Colorado, Michigan, Ohio, South Carolina, Minnesota, Maine, and Connecticut suggesting strong demand for personalized learning and PCBL services in FY2019 and beyond.
