Financial Statement Notes

Schedule D, Part III, Line 4

“The foundation's collection of vintage guitars and musical instruments furthers the foundation's exempt purpose to share the transformative experience of music in the chattanooga area by delivering educational programming and preserving music history.”

Schedule D, Part X, Line 2

“The entity accounts for the effect of any uncertain tax positions based on a more likely than not threshold to the recognition of the tax positions being sustained based on the technical merits of the position under examination by the applicable taxing authority. If a tax position or positions are deemed to result in uncertainties of those positions, the unrecognized tax benefits are estimated based on the cumulative probability assessment that aggregates the estimated tax liability for all uncertain tax positions. Tax positions for the entity include, but are not limited to, the tax-exempt status and determination of whether income is subject to unrelated business income tax. Based on its evaluation, the entity has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in its financial statements. The entity's evaluation was performed for tax years ended december 31, 2021 through december 31, 2024, for federal income tax, the years that remain subject to examination by major jurisdictions as of december 31, 2024.”

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActyOtherGrp/Desc0THE PROGRAM INTEGRATES REGIONAL AND NATIONAL ARTISTS AND STUDENTS ARE ABLE TO ATTEND FREE SHOWS AND PERFORM, COLLABORATE, AND RECORD WITH THESE ARTISTS. CLASSES ALSO OFFER STUDENTS A FORUM TO DISCUSS SOCIAL, HEALTH, AND LIFE ISSUES. CERTIFIED MUSIC THERAPISTS USE MUSIC TO HELP STUDENTS WORK THROUGH THESE ISSUES. STUDENTS ALSO WORK IN GROUPS THAT ALLOW THEM TO CREATE FRIENDSHIPS AND ESTABLISH MUSIC BONDS WITH OTHER PLAYERS. THIS TYPE OF GROUP INTERACTION IS ESSENTIAL FOR KIDS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED BULLYING, OR HAVE DEVELOPMENTAL DISORDERS SUCH AS AUTISM OR ASPERGER'S. THE PROGRAM WAS MODIFIED TO SERVE STUDENTS WHEREVER THEY WERE WORKING FROM HOME OR IN PERSON AT SCHOOL. WE KNOW THAT MUSIC HELPS KIDS COPE WITH THE DEVASTATING DEMANDS THAT THE PANDEMIC PLACED ON FAMILIES. THE PROGRAM ALLOWED OVER 4,500 KIDS TO HAVE INTERACTIVE MUSICAL EXPERIENCES WITH THE ORGANIZATION'S TEACHERS AND OTHER STUDENTS. WE WORKED WITH 102 SCHOOLS AND 22 PARTNER PROGRAMS TO TRAIN THEIR CHORUS TEACHERS HOW TO TEACH OUR CURRICULUM TO THEIR STUDENTS. WE THEN PROVIDED EACH TEACHER WITH A DONATED SET OF 25-50 GUITARS, CURRICULUM BOOKS, EQUIPMENT (PICKS, STRINGS, BAGS, TUNERS), AND ONGOING SUPPORT. MORE THAN 832 GUITARS WERE DISTRIBUTED ACROSS THE STATE.
