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.”

Nearly 40,000 books were checked out by children and families, and more than 13,130 books were given to participating sites and families.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0Make Way for Books Family Education and Literacy 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 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 literacy development. As a result, 97% of children make gains in literacy skills. Programs provide engaging family literacy activities, regular access to high-quality books, and parent education. In 2016-17, these programs impacted the lives of 23,605 children and their parents.

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. 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.
