Financial Statement Notes

Part X, Line 2-Text in footnote regarding FIN 48 (ASC 740)

“The Organization follows the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification, which provides guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in The Organizations financial statements, if any. As of year end, The Organization had no unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions in its information return that would qualify for either recognition or disclosure in its financial statements.The Organizations policy would be to recognize interest and penalties on tax positions related to its unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense in the financial statements. Through year end, there have been no matters that would have resulted in an accrual for interest and/or penalties.”

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0The LEAD Global Network: Supported 7 alumni from LEAD Hubs to pursue secondary and post-secondary education opportunities in the United States by covering essential incidental costs such as visa processing, airfare, technology, and settlement expenses. All students were selected through a competitive internal review process and received full scholarships from their host institutions. For most, this marked the first time they had traveled internationally. This investment ensured that high-potential young leaders could access life-changing educational opportunities and continue their leadership development globally, advancing our mission to equip youth to lead in their communities and beyond

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0LEAD Learning: In December 2024, LEAD Edu launched a pilot to adapt Harvard EASEL Labs SEL Kernels to the Moroccan context and our LEAD Learning leadership framework. This contextualized program, renamed as Waves of Leadership in Morocco, builds critical leadership skills such as self-regulation, empathy, and goal-setting through play-based learning and is poised for scale through the public sector in 2026. Since 2015, we have adapted the leadership course taught at our Liberian and Moroccan Hubs since 2015 to meet the needs of the worlds youth more broadly focusing our lessons on innovation, empathy, perseverance and more. Today LEAD Learning has delivered its flagship leadership course to more than 135,000 children in Liberia, Morocco, and Bangladesh through a combination of in person delivery and low cost mobile technology.

IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0The Organization follows the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification, which provides guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in The Organizations financial statements, if any. As of year end, The Organization had no unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions in its information return that would qualify for either recognition or disclosure in its financial statements.The Organizations policy would be to recognize interest and penalties on tax positions related to its unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense in the financial statements. Through year end, there have been no matters that would have resulted in an accrual for interest and/or penalties.
