Our two-hour "Storytelling and Bookmaking"--where students write, illustrate, and bind their own books--continues to be a perennial favorite for elementary schools. 903566 10000 2877228 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false true true true false false false false false false false true false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false true 59 0 true 47 true true true false false false false true true false 0 false false false false false false false false false false false false X 14 14 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true false false CA X Bita Nazarian 4156425905 826 Valencia St San Francisco CA 94110 Jim Lesser President 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Alex Lerner Treasurer 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Andrew Strickman Secretary 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Dave Pell Secretary 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Eric Abrams Secretary 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Colleen Amster Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Joya Banerjee Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jasmine Berjikly Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Barbara Bersche Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Lisa Brown Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Carolyn Feinstein Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Julia Matsudaira Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Enikia Ford Morthel Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Han Phung Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Lisa Ramrayka Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Joe Vasquez Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Rachel Yeamen Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Bita Nazarian Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 126119 0 6349 126119 6349 1 false false false 0 98 355925 474000 4729767 674000 5559790 0 178173 178173 0 0 0 0 187600 355925 99888 87712 87712 727 727 727 140844 70710 70134 9539 60595 Other 900099 7613 7613 7613 5904149 9539 60595 274225 0 23500 23500 0 0 168850 84426 50654 33770 0 1728860 1485042 83839 159979 11445 10023 341 1081 193795 162734 12253 18808 151660 125878 10616 15166 0 0 169047 169047 0 0 10136 10136 294701 244397 3697 46607 0 234091 160064 67093 6934 14063 12318 534 1211 0 309726 257368 34935 17423 26118 10571 11367 4180 0 73934 46157 14907 12870 0 60000 54000 3000 3000 170295 140224 22262 7809 14349 12281 633 1435 Publications 56919 38869 306 17744 Other expenses 21918 9376 2888 9654 0 3733407 2877228 498508 357671 1653331 945320 1307663 2906570 540268 1538248 16632 7133 0 0 0 63739 68010 142746 166892 2952283 562907 1626556 2389376 3050287 2523416 0 0 0 0 8401222 10544965 140347 164505 444035 392878 584382 557383 X 6248444 7971102 1568396 2016480 7816840 9987582 8401222 10544965 2170742 X false true X true false X 3241339 4870889 2655225 4210513 5559790 20537756 0 0 3241339 4870889 2655225 4210513 5559790 20537756 1961646 18576110 45800 32486 33127 46014 105250 262677 0 10022 16810 1916 19135 7613 55496 20855929 837890 0.89070 0.86700 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 2865145 493484 2371661 87138 69423 17715 2389376 Accrued Rent 98698 Scholarships payable 294180 392878 X 5959104 65091 65091 5894013 10136 10136 5904149 3788362 65091 65091 3723271 10136 10136 3733407 Part X : FIN48 Footnote The Internal Revenue Service and the California Franchise Tax Board have determined that the Organization is exempt from federal and state income taxes under IRC 501(c)(3) and California RTC 23701(d).
