Footnote for uncertain tax position under FIN 48 (Part X)

“Management of MWFB considers the likelihood of changes by taxing authorities in its filed tax returns and recognizes a liability for or discloses potential significant changes if management believes it is more likely than not for a change to occur, including changes to the organizations status as a not-for-profit entity. Management believes that MWFB met the requirements to maintain its tax-exempt status and has no income subject to unrelated business income tax, therefore, no provision for income taxes has been provided in these financial statements.”

IRS990/Desc0Make Way for Books Family Literacy and Community Based Programs: Currently, four out of five young children in Arizona are not enrolled in quality preschool or childcare. Make Way for Books provides access to high-quality early literacy education through family literacy and community based programs that meet families with young children in high-need locations such as low-income apartments, community food banks, school resource centers, social services offices, and other community settings. These programs, including the national, evidence-based Raising A Reader program, feature a strong parent engagement component, empowering parents with skills and resources to support their childrens emergent literacy development. Programs provide engaging storytimes, family literacy activities, regular access to high-quality books, and parent education. Last year, these programs impacted the lives of 21,738 children and their parents.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0Make Way for Books Preschool Program: This comprehensive early literacy program provides disadvantaged children ages birth through five with opportunities to discover the joy of books and develop early literacy skills through increased access to books and daily exposure to meaningful literacy activities. The program, offered at preschools, childcare centers, and home-based providers in low-resource areas, provides children with storytimes and access to high-quality books in the classroom and at home. Participating educators and parents learn strategies to share books to support their child's literacy and language development. In 2014-15, the program served 7,161 young children and parents as well as 763 educators. More than 32,000 books were checked out by children and families, and nearly 7,500 books were given to participating sites and families. The program has impacted thousands of children and families in Pima County for 18 years.
