Financial Statement Notes

Part X : FIN48 Footnote

“Zara Aina complies with the provisions of ASC 740, Income Taxes. ASC 740 requires that a tax position be recognized or derecognized based on a "more likely than not" threshold. This applies to positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on Zara Aina's financial statements, as management believes that there are no uncertain tax positions within its financial statements. Zara Aina has processes presently in place to ensure the maintenance of its tax-exempt status; to identify and report unrelated income; determine its filing and tax obligations in jurisdictions for which it has nexus; and to review other matters that may be considered tax positions. Zara Aina's Forms 990, Return of Organization Exempt for Income Tax, for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2015 and 2016 are subject to examination by the IRS, generally for three years after they were filed.”

IRS990/Desc0Youth Company & Antananarivo Clubhouse: In 2018, Zara Aina continued to build on the expansion of the programs in 2017. For the first time in 2018, our Malagasy staff facilitated the created and produced their large show at the American Embassy, as well as the in-country tour, all on their own.The new 4th year curriculum is developing additional components focused on career development with internships at the Center and vocational training to give students concrete skills that will serve as a foundation for them when they eventually graduate and begin to work. The nascent internship component is also intended to help expose students to a broader range of careers and possibilities, allowing them to see career paths and jobs they might not know exist. Supplementary work in the 4th year includes test prep, tutoring, and extra English and French classes. Additionally, three American artists traveled to Madagascar, including a professional director and community engagement specialist, to work with Youth Company members for three weeks of August for the 6th Zara Aina residency. This year the focus was on cementing the facilitation of 4th Year programming and local internship partners.For the first time, an American Peace Corp volunteer was stationed at the Center, and became an invaluable member of the staff, assisting with community engagement, fundraising, partnerships, and the 4th Year Program.The Malagasy staff continued their work for the grant from the American Embassy in Antananarivo to build a theater program with the young male inmates at the youth prison in the capital city. The Malagasy staff made trips to the prison twice per week to work on building shows with the prisoners about their experiences, and how to prevent their peers from making the same mistakes. For their culminating project, they created, shot, and edited their own short film about the dangers of theft.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0With the enlarged pool of volunteers, Zara Aina was able to offer an expanded number of trips to work with at-risk and middle school students in the greater New York City area, with workshops at: Workspace Academy: 3 ZA volunteer facilitators led a daylong workshop with 30 kids ages 10-15 from a new school in Connecticut specifically tailored for children who have previously been home schooled. The ZA facilitators took the kids thru the entire pedagogy and curriculum, in order to train them to be able to build a show on their own. After a few months, the kids performed an original show, based on a Malagasy folktale, for their families and friends and for our kids in Madagascar, over Skype. Grand Avenue Middle School: 5 ZA facilitators led a 2 hour workshop with 35 kids ages 12-13 from a public school on Long Island. The kids learned the ZA warm-ups and games, and built their own original songs, which they performed at the end of the workshop. Win Shelter Bronx: 6 ZA volunteer facilitators led a 4-hour workshop over 2 days with 10 kids ages 5-15 from a Win homeless shelter in the Bronx. They learned the ZA warm-up and games, and built original characters, songs, and scenes, which they performed for family and friends at the end of the 2nd day. Win Shelter Brooklyn: 4 ZA volunteer facilitators led a 4-hour workshop over 2 days with 15 kids ages 5-15 from a Win homeless shelter in Glenwood, Brooklyn. They learned the ZA warm-up and games, and built original characters, songs, and scenes, which they performed for family and friends at the end of the 2nd day. Win Shelter Queens: 5 ZA volunteer facilitators led a 4-hour workshop over 2 days with 25 kids ages 5-15 from a Win homeless shelter in Astoria, Queens. They learned the ZA warm-up and games, and built original characters, songs, and scenes, which they performed for family and friends at the end of the 2nd day. JCCA Pleasantville Cottage School: 7 ZA volunteer facilitators led our first-ever multi-week residency at the JCCA of Westchesters Pleasantville Cottage School. For 2 hours each week for 5 weeks, we worked with 7 kids ages 8-16 to use our pedagogy and curriculum to build original acts for their school-wide talent show. We also helped the kids come out of their shells and have the confidence to perform in front of their peers at the talent show at the end of the residency. Success Academy - Harlem East: 6 ZA volunteer facilitators returned to work with a Success Academy Charter School, only this time the daylong workshop was broken up into two halves. In the first part, the ZA facilitators trained Success Academy Drama Teachers to use our pedagogy and curriculum. In the second part, we worked with Success Drama students to build their own original songs, and show them to each other at the end of the day. BAMA Kids: In May 2017, Zara Aina returned to southern Alabama to work with the organization BAMA Kids for the first time since 2013. For one week, 8 ZA facilitators worked with nearly 40 kids, ages 5-18, to build their own original musical show, based on a story of their creation. ZA also led outside workshops with students from the local high school and a group of senior citizens. At the end of the week, the BAMA Kids performed their show for their families and friends.In November 2017, Zara Aina took a weekend long trip back to Alabama to train a select group of the oldest BAMA Kids leaders in our pedagogy and curriculum, and tasked them with building a show on their own from November til March 2018, when we were to return for another weeklong trip. At the end of the weekend, the BAMA Kids performed the beginnings of their show for friends and families. Rhinebeck Middle School: Zara Aina continued its ongoing relationship with Rhinebeck Middle School in fall 2017, leading a daylong workshop where the kids got the chance to bring to life onstage different scenes from a Malagasy folktale, and perform them for their peers and the staff.

IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0Zara Aina complies with the provisions of ASC 740, Income Taxes. ASC 740 requires that a tax position be recognized or derecognized based on a "more likely than not" threshold. This applies to positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on Zara Aina's financial statements, as management believes that there are no uncertain tax positions within its financial statements. Zara Aina has processes presently in place to ensure the maintenance of its tax-exempt status; to identify and report unrelated income; determine its filing and tax obligations in jurisdictions for which it has nexus; and to review other matters that may be considered tax positions. Zara Aina's Forms 990, Return of Organization Exempt for Income Tax, for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2015 and 2016 are subject to examination by the IRS, generally for three years after they were filed.
