Financial Statement Notes

Footnote for uncertain tax position under FIN 48 (Part X)

“The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has released FASB ASC 740-10, Income Taxes, that provide guidance for reporting uncertainty in income taxes. For the year ended September 30, 2024, TFS has documented its consideration of FASB ASC 740-10 and determined that no material uncertain tax positions qualify for either recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. The Federal Form 990, Return of Organization Exempt for Income Tax, is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service generally for three years after it is filed. Tax year ending September 30, 2023, 2022, and 2021 remain open with both Federal and State taxing authorities.”

IRS990/Desc0The Fishing Schools (TFS) afterschool program improves academic performance and life skills for children and youth from low-income communities,enabling them to suceed in school and life. Our afterschool and summer camps deliver Common Core-aligned STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and math)and academic skill-building activities to reinforce math and reading concepts, increase exposure to STEM concepts and careers, and develop critical thinking skills. Students also participate in life skills activities, college and career explorations and enrichment clubs. Our programs also equip parents and guardians to engage actively in their students academic development. We served up to 350 youth and their families at three partner schools during the 2023-2024 school year. In school year 2023-2024, we successfully piloted a new STEM and life skills curriculum to standardize the quality, program operations, and staff professional development across all our sites. We serve over 300 elementary-eged students at four Title-1 eligible public schools. We continued the STEM focus through our high-quality, intensive summer camp program offered at no cost to our students and families. Participants received five weeks of support to build and maintain academic and social skills to prevent summer learning loss. In addition to STEM projects, we also developed a new literacy arts curriculum, helping students with various genres of literature to inspire original work. Students also built strong social/emotional skills. We served over 50 studetns and their families at two partner sites during the 2024 summer camp.

If acceptable to the Board, the governing body votes to approve the 990.
