      <Desc>High quality early learning lays a foundation for a strong future. But too many young children don't get a chance to build the fundamental brain architecture that allows them to thrive in school and in life. In 2016, Children's Alliance made progress in expanding access to quality early learning by advocating for new resources to support early learning providers to be successful in meeting the quality requirements of the Early Start Act as well as engaging in ongoing implementation advocacy related to the policies of the Act. The new policies in the Act will help ensure that we improve outcomes for children in low-income families and children of color.</Desc>

        <ExplanationTxt>Children's Alliance is exempt from federal income tax under Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3). It is not a private foundation within the meaning of Section 509(a) of the Code because it is an organization described in Sections 509(a)(1) and 170(b)(1)(A)(vi). The Alliance's income tax filings are subject to examination by various taxing authorities. The Alliance believes that it has appropriate support for any tax positions taken, and as such, does not have any uncertain tax positions that are material to the financial statements.</ExplanationTxt>
