Supplemental Narrative

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, 2017, 2018 and 2019 are subject to examination by the IRS, generally for three years after they were filed.”

IRS990/Desc0Youth Company & Antananarivo Clubhouse: In 2021 the Malagasy Staff has continued to show incredible resilience amidst the pandemic, keeping all of the students safe and healthy. Though surges and lockdowns meant students had to stay away from the Center at times in 2021, from June to the end of the year programming was mostly back to normal, with everyone back at the Center working on new theatrical and dance programming, and continuing their hugely successful partnership with fellow NGO Teach for Madagascar and their childrens book project, Diary Nofy, as well as Rotary International.In December 2021 the Zara Aina Youth Company performed three big shows, funded by two new partners--The British School of Madagascar and The Elder Girl Scouts.The students continued taking English and French classes and doing vigorous test prep throughout 2021. 11 of 12 students who took the High School entrance exam passed, and will be eligible to attend High School, which is free, unlike primary school.The Malagasy Staff exposed the students to numerous professional guest artists in2021including several dance workshops.Through numerous COVID-related delays, the Staff continued working through the three stages of obtaining building permits to begin construction on the new permanent Zara Aina Center, for which we completed our Capital Campaign at the end of 2020.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0Mobile Library: Launched in 2016 in partnership with the UK-based Vape Club, Zara Ainas Mobile Library project distributes useful books to rural villages across four regions of Madagascar. The books focus on practical knowledge such as ways to improve agricultural practices, family relations and health, environmental issues, sexual health, DIY and trades. In 2018, the Mobile Library continued to distribute seeds and fruit trees to participating communities, along with literature about care and cultivation.When the Library is not actively engaged in a tour, the van is used by Zara Aina staff to transport the Youth Company and Zara Aina oversees the overall operation of the Program and provides administrative support to Library staff.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0Zara Aina-workshops:While COVID-19 continued to make it difficult to hold US programming, especially in person, we did return to Madagascar Day at Rhinebeck Middle School for the first time since Fall 2019, to hold in person theater workshops.We also used our 2020 LMCC grant award to hold Zoom workshops with Mama Foundation Harlem. The students created a full original play and performed it over Zoom.We held our first-ever Zara Aina community connection event over Zoom, gathering donors and supporters from the US and our Malagasy Staff and students to meet and converse. This kicked off our first ever Mid Year Fundraising Campaign, which successfully raised $15,000.

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, 2017, 2018 and 2019 are subject to examination by the IRS, generally for three years after they were filed.
