Financial Statement Notes
PART X, LINE 2:
“Step up for students is exempt from federal income taxes under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code and from state income taxes under similar provisions of the florida statutes. Accordingly, no provision for federal and state income taxes has been recorded in the financial statements. Step up for students has made an election under section 501(h) of the internal revenue code, which permits certain eligible 501(c)(3) organizations to make limited expenditures to influence legislation. These expenditures are financed by private fundraising and not through either the direct appropriation or tax-credited contributions received under each program, including the 3% administrative allowance each program receives. Step up for students would be subject to an excise tax if it spends more that the amounts permitted. Such limits have not been exceeded. The alabama opportunity scholarship fund is a single member limited liability company (llc) which is wholly-owned by step up for students. Step up for students is exempt from federal income taxes under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code. As a wholly-owned llc, the alabama opportunity scholarship fund is a disregarded entity for federal and state income tax purposes and therefore, reports all federal and state income tax information through its parent, step up for students. Accordingly, no provision for federal and state income taxes has been recorded in the consolidated financial statements. Step up for students follows accounting standards relating to accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. Management assessed whether there were any uncertain tax positions which may give rise to income tax liabilities and determined that there were no such matters requiring recognition in the consolidated financial statements. Step up for students files income tax returns in the u.s. Federal jurisdiction. Generally, step up for students is no longer subject to u.s. Federal or state income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before june 30, 2013.”

| IRS990/Desc | 0 | FLORIDA TAX CREDIT SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM:THIS PAST SCHOOL YEAR, 78,664 UNDERPRIVILEGED STUDENTS ATTENDED 1,602 PRIVATE SCHOOLS ON A STEP UP FOR STUDENTS SCHOLARSHIP, AND FOR THE 2016-17 SCHOOL YEAR, WE ANTICIPATE SERVING ROUGHLY 94,500 STUDENTS. THE SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM WAS CREATED TO HELP ALLEVIATE THE ENORMOUS EDUCATIONAL CHALLENGES FACED BY CHILDREN WHO LIVE IN POVERTY. THE SCHOLARSHIP GIVES PARENTS WITH LIMITED FINANCIAL MEANS THE FREEDOM TO CHOOSE THE SCHOOL THAT BEST MEETS THEIR CHILDREN'S LEARNING NEEDS FROM KINDERGARTEN THROUGH 12TH GRADE. IT IS THE LARGEST SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM OF THIS NATURE IN THE UNITED STATES.FOR THE 2015-16 SCHOOL YEAR, APPROVED STUDENTS COULD CHOOSE BETWEEN SCHOLARSHIPS WORTH UP TO $5,677 FOR PRIVATE SCHOOL TUITION AND FEES OR UP TO $500 IN TRANSPORTATION COSTS TO ATTEND AN OUT-OF-DISTRICT PUBLIC SCHOOL. SINCE ITS CREATION, THE FLORIDA TAX CREDIT SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM HAS AWARDED 482,226 SCHOLARSHIPS. FOR 2015-16, THE AVERAGE INCOME FOR PARTICIPANTS WAS 7.4% ABOVE THE FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES, AND 58% OF THE STUDENTS WERE FROM SINGLE-PARENT HOUSEHOLDS.STANDARDIZED TEST SCORES RELEASED IN AUGUST 2015 SHOWED THAT SCHOLARSHIP STUDENTS WERE ACHIEVING THE SAME GAINS IN READING AND MATH AS STUDENTS OF ALL INCOME LEVELS NATIONALLY. BY LAW, SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENTS EVERY YEAR MUST TAKE A NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED NORM-REFERENCED TEST APPROVED BY THE STATE AND MOST TAKE THE WELL-REGARDED STANFORD ACHIEVEMENT TEST. THE RESULTS REPORTED IN 2015 TRACKED CLOSELY WITH RESULTS IN PRIOR YEARS AND THE RESEARCHER ISSUED TWO KEY FINDINGS:-STUDENTS WHO CHOSE THE SCHOLARSHIP WERE AMONG THE POOREST AND LOWEST-PERFORMING STUDENTS FROM THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS THEY LEFT BEHIND.-THESE SAME STUDENTS ACHIEVED GAINS IN READING AND MATH THAT WERE THE SAME AS ALL STUDENTS NATIONALLY, REGARDLESS OF INCOME LEVEL.FOR THE 10TH TIME, STEP UP FOR STUDENTS WAS AWARDED THE COVETED FOUR-STAR RATING BY CHARITY NAVIGATOR AND WAS ONE OF ONLY TWO EDUCATION NONPROFITS IN THE NATION TO SCORE A PERFECT 100.0 ON THE NAVIGATOR'S SCALE OF FINANCIAL ACCOUNTABILITY AND TRANSPARENCY. IN OTHER PUBLISHED NATIONAL RANKINGS OF NONPROFITS, STEP UP HAS BEEN RANKED 26TH BY FORBES AND 67TH BY THE CHRONICLE OF PHILANTHROPY. |
