      <Description>In 2012, Children's Alliance worked to defend vulnerable families from budget decisions that would do them harm: cutting AppleHealth for Kids, child nutrition programs and Temporary Assistance for Needy Families. Lawmakers were urged to protect what works, and Apple Health for Kids, the state's popular, successful, comprehensive health coverage for children, was protected from any cuts. Lawmakers were persuaded to step up efforts to enroll 100,000 uninsured children in health coverage.</Description>

        <Description>Early learning is an essential component in ensuring that children are ready to learn and succeed when they reach kindergarten and elementary school. In 2012, Children's Alliance urged lawmakers to reject unfair cuts; we led a powerful coalition in proposing a comprehensive approach to close the opportunity gap through quality early learning so that all Washington's children start school ready for success. Childcare for working parents was restored to 2010 levels. Working Connections Child Care will reach an estimated 2,500 additional families who struggle to pay for child care.</Description>

        <Description>The Children's Alliance continued its efforts to End Childhood Hunger in Washington State. In 2012, Children's Alliance partnered with families who were threatened with the loss of their food stamp benefits, helping parents and grandparents write letters, visit legislators and speak at hearings to defend their children from the harm of hunger. Food assistance for thousands of children in immigrant families was maintained. Though targeted for elimination, legislators changed course, protecting half of the monthly benefits that help feed 31,000 people.</Description>

        <ReturnReference>Part X:</ReturnReference>
        <Explanation>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's open examination periods are 2008 and thereafter. 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.</Explanation>
