Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

Form 990, Part V, Line 1C - Reportable Payments

“The organization had no reportable payments to a vendor requiring compliance with backup withholding rules, nor did they provide any reportable gaming, gambling, or winnings to a prize winner.”

Financial Statement Notes

Part X : FIN48 Footnote

“The Organization has received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) indicating it is a tax-exempt organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and is subject to federal income tax only on net unrelated business income. Management has determined that the Organization has no current obligations for unrelated business income tax. Accordingly, no provisions for federal and state income taxes are required.Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Organization and recognize a tax liability (or asset) if the Organization has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would be sustained upon examination by the IRS. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Organization, and has concluded that as of June 30, 2025 and 2024, there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability (or asset) or disclosure in the financial statements. The Organization is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdiction; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. Management believes it is no longer subject to income tax examinations for tax years prior to 2020. U.S. state jurisdictions have statues of limitations that generally range from three to five years.”

IRS990/Desc0Our Charter School Residency Program introduces and operates jazz programs in Title 1 schools with no established instrumental music program. Unfortunately, 61% of all middle and high school public charter schools in the United States do not have such a program. The schools we serve have the desire and need to start a band program for their students, but can't afford the $100,000 typically needed to do so. Jazz Empowers allows schools to overcome these barriers, reducing costs to a more manageable programming fee, and handling all operations of the jazz program. This includes supplying high-quality instructors, instruments, and curriculum resources. The jazz bands we start at these schools meet 2-5 times per week during the school year, and work towards performances at school concerts, assemblies, festivals, and even competitions. For the 24-25 school year, Jazz Empowers operated jazz programs at 28 underserved charter schools. As part of the program Jazz Empowers ran rehearsals 2-5 times a week for the entire school year at each school and provided free instruments for all students in the program. This program served 775 students in total and Jazz Empowers increased the number of schools in the program by 28% from the 23-24 school year. For the 24-25 school year, 75% of students in this program believed that playing in a jazz band has made them a better overall student and 75% of students in this program enjoyed school more because they were in a jazz band. The graduation rate of high school seniors in the program was 100%.
