Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

Form 990, Part III, Line 3

“During the spring of 2020, we pivoted our traditional, in-classroom storytime program to address the impact of school closures, limited engagement with educators, and a lack of appropriate books in the home for the thousands of children in low-income communities in our region. We successfully: *distributed 20,000 books for children in area low-income communities *provided literacy-based steam curriculum to educators/parents *created a facebook live storytime twice/week *shared recorded storytimes for families/educators *provided 650+ creative literacy kits (high-quality book, mindfulness and literacy activities, art supplies) to children at home”

Form 990, Part XII, Line 2C

“The finance committee is responsible for selecting the independent accounting firm and oversees the audit.”

Financial Statement Notes

PART V, LINE 4:

“The board designated endowment is to be used to secure, strengthen, and extend the organization's mission by receiving gifts, bequests, and other conveyances, where the intent of the donor is to make a lasting contribution to the organization. Funds are to not to be used for operating or expenses ordinarily included in the annual budget unless otherwise specified by the board of directors.”

PART X, LINE 2:

“The organization constitutes a qualified not-for-profit organization under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code and is, therefore, exempt from federal income taxes. The organization has evaluated its tax positions, expiring statutes of limitations, audits, proposed settlements, changes in tax law and new authoritative rulings and believes that no provision for income taxes is necessary, at this time, to cover any uncertain tax positions.”
