Supplemental Narrative

Financial Statement Notes

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: Nearly 69% of young children in Arizona are not enrolled in 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 20,771 children and their parents last year.

IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0Management 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.
