Activity Or MissionSince its inception in 1991, Fotokids (originally under our fiscal sponsor, the San Carlos Foundation) has utilized photography, graphic design and media technology as tools for self-expression, creativity, leadership and vocational training experience with hundreds of youth from poor rural and urban areas. The majority of our students, in addition to learning employable skills with Fotokids, receive scholarships to study in formal schools from the level of primary education through university.ActivityOrMissionDesc

DescFotokids programs focus on job skills that set our students apart from the 200,000 young people entering the work force every year and will put them in the 20% that actually find employment. Portfolios created by the students include the work they have done for actual clients, editorial and event photography, the designing and photographing of a commercial catalogue, and the creation of a web page. Guatemala City is the hub for all of our programs throughout Guatemala and all of our staff are graduates, we run an intern program for the teenage students that provides them with on the job training and experience working with real clients. Fotokids also provides through Fundación de Niños Artistas de Guatemala, counseling, tutoring, food baskets, nutritious lunches, transportation and experience working with international professionals in photography and design. As our covid challenges from 2020 continued into 2021, we were met with an increase in Covid 19 cases acerbated by the appearance of the Delta variant and by country-wide lack of vaccinations. The uptick in cases deeply affected the population Fotokids works with in Guatemala. In Guatemala City many families came down with covid, others lost their jobs, couldn't pay rent on their humble houses, and finding no employment opportunities in the City, they were forced to move to the interior or the coast to find work. There was no in person learning in schools for the children and most had no access to a smart phone where they participate in virtual online classes. The schools put heavy pressure on the parents to buy a smartphone or tablet. Fotokids reached out to our families to find and buy some second-hand phones and tablets. We also bought them internet cards (extremely costly for a struggling family at $15 a card) giving students internet access for 2 weeks at a time. Fotokids photography teaching continued throughout the year with small classes of five students each in a socially distanced space. This meant our teachers had many more classes to do to serve the 70 Fotokids students. For a teacher that instructed 20 students this became 4 different classes. In the City we were able to use 3 different outdoor locales within our Fotokids headquarters.Amidst this crisis Fotokids has continued with the food baskets as over 80% of our families have lost their jobs so putting food on the table was difficult if not impossible in some cases. Our budget only gave allowed us to give 2 food baskets a month to the neediest of families. Our major expenses were in paying all the students scholarship fees as schools continued to charge tuition and monthly payments and those expenses have remained the same.Desc

DescIn Santiago Atitlán where we had 70 students attending during the pandemic we used the garden, the pergola and the new schoolhouse to give the Fotokids classes. Santiago was hit hard by the Delta virus, the lack of masking and resistance to vaccination. At Fotokids we required the staff to all be vaccinated and enforced our mask mandate, temperature taking, antibacterial cleaning, and social distancing.As the entire nation slipped into the red zone graph of contagion, we had to go back to using the SD cards with video lessons. The students attended Fotokids classes in person two times a month, where they received a list of photography themes, and compete in monthly photography competitions. we additionally had online photography and graphic design classes Amidst this crisis Fotokids continued with the food baskets as over 80% of our families had lost their jobs so putting food on the table was difficult if not impossible in some cases. Our budget only gave allowed us to give 3 food baskets a month to the neediest of families in Santiago Atitlán. Our major expenses were in paying students scholarship fees as schools continued to charge tuition and monthly payments and those expenses remained the same. In Santiago the older students attended their traditional schools in person three times a week. And younger students two times a week.Desc

Form 990, Part III, Line 2Covid 19 meant Fotokids had to review priorities and make changes that would enable us to keep teaching while dealing with very crucial needs of our students families, primarily that of hunger. Most of the families who were already living on the edge with a day to day existence lost their jobs. Without a livelihood there was no food to put on the table. There was a complete lockdown, and so getting food to people was difficult without the help of one of the children's father who was allowed freedom of movement as he is a fireman. In Guatemala City, we used him to deliver food baskets to the most needy families. In the countryside, we bought wholesale, corn and beans, and weighed them for distribution. The baskets in addition included oil, cereal, rice, eggs, pasta, and a vitamin drink. Smart phones were scarce in our communities as few can afford the phone or the internet, so we had to devise a way around distance or tele-teaching. We gave the children cameras that could play video. Teachers recorded lessons and examples on the SD card that the children picked up and could replay in the cameras to see their lessons and assignments and then did the photo assignments on the card and returned it and picked up there next lesson in groups outside of five students at a time. We initiated at the same time covid precautions, education and strict public health measures.

After disclosure of the financial interest and all material facts, and after any discussion with the interested person, he/she shall leave the governing board or committee meeting while the determination of a conflict of interest is discussed and voted upon. The remaining board or committee members shall decide if a conflict of interest exists. c. Procedures for Addressing the Conflict of Interest. An interested person may make a presentation at the governing board or committee meeting, but after the presentation, he/she shall leave the meeting during the discussion of, and the vote on, the transaction or arrangement involving the possible conflict of interest. The chairperson of the governing board or committee shall, if appropriate, appoint a disinterested person or committee to investigate alternatives to the proposed transaction or arrangement. After exercising due diligence, the governing board or committee shall determine whether the corporation can obtain with reasonable efforts a more advantageous transaction or arrangement from a person or entity that would not give rise to a conflict of interest. If a more advantageous transaction or arrangement is not reasonably possible under circumstances not producing conflict of interest, the governing board or committee shall determine by a majority vote of the disinterested directors whether the transaction or arrangement is in the corporation's best interest, for its own benefit, and whether it is fair and reasonable. In conformity with the above determination, it shall make its decision as to whether to enter into the transaction or arrangement. d. Violations of the Conflicts of Interest Policy. If the governing board or committee has reasonable cause to believe a member has failed to disclose actual or possible conflicts of interest, it shall inform the member of the basis for such belief and afford the member an opportunity to explain the alleged failure to disclose. If, after hearing the member's response and after making further investigation as warranted by the circumstances, the governingboard or committee determines the member has failed to disclose an actual or possible conflict of interest, it shall take appropriate disciplinary and corrective action.

ExplanationReasonable cause for late filing stems from delays by the IRS to accept our change in accounting period from 12/31 to 9/30. Once this change was finally approved by the IRS (2Q2022), we were able to file our 990 for 2020 (10/01/2019-09/30/2020), which was just recently accepted by the IRS. The current filing (10/01/2020-09/30/21) was protracted due to the explanation above and staff shortages as a result of Covid.ExplanationTxt
