General ExplanationFor tax years, 2006 and 2007, Teach for America recorded its special event income in a different manner than it is currently being reported. All amounts reported as special event income in 2006 and 2007 was included as exempt activity income; accordingly, no special event revenue is reported on Line 11 for those years. Special events, as they are reported in 2008 and 2009, are reported more precisely. The anomalous 2006 and 2007 special event reporting does not have an impact on Teach For America's satisfaction of the public support test.GeneralExplanation

ExplanationPolitical and Lobbying On a state level, local advisory board members, paid staff or management had direct contact with state legislators, their staffs and members of state executive branch agencies in support of state appropriations for Teach For America's in-state operations through regular state budget processes or through the federally-funded Race to the Top process in which many states participated. In addition, regional staff also worked for the passage of various pieces of legislation which would impact Teach For America's ability to operate in a given community including the passage of alternative certification legislation, legislation permitting Teach For America to be recognized by the state as an alternative pathway to teacher licensure and expansion of charter schools; in Minnesota, Teach For America participated in a coalition of community groups which lobbied on behalf of certain changes in state law and served as the fiscal agent for the informal group. At the federal level Teach For America staff interfaced with Members of Congress, as well as personal and Committee staff, in support of adequate federal funding for Teach For America and the Corporation for National and Community Service. In addition, Teach For America lobbied for specific legislative provisions beneficial to it both within and outside the context of the reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA). These individual provisions included loan forgiveness for teachers in national service programs, the expansion of Teach For America's presence in Native American and Hawaiian communities, and preserving the status quo of alternatively certified teachers as being federally recognized as highly qualified. All amounts paid by Teach for America as lobbying expenditures in Line 1(g) have been reported in Part IX as compensation expenses and no amount has been reported on Part IX, Line 11(d).Explanation

INTENDED USES OF ENDOWMENT FUNDSSCHEDULE D, PART V, LINE 4Teach For America's endowment is intended to provide a continuous source of funding to support the institution's primary educational and social mission. The endowment's principal is intended to be left untouched, while its earnings are used to fund various organizational programs (and grants).
FIN 48 DisclosureTFA adopted new guidance that clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, including issues relating to financial statement recognition and measurement. This standard provides that the tax effects from an uncertain tax position can be recognized in the consolidated financial statements only if the position is "more-likely-than-not" to be sustained if the position were to be challenged by a taxing authority. The standard also provides guidance on measurement, classification, interest and penalties, and disclosure. This standard had no material impact on the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The tax years ended 2007, 2008, and 2009 are still open to audit for both federal and state purposes. TFA has processes presently in place to ensure the maintenance of its tax-exempt status; identify and report unrelated income; determine its filing and tax obligations in jurisdictions for which it has nexus; and identify and evaluate other matters that may be considered tax positions.
Part XI, Line 9 & XII, Line 4b - ReconciliationInvestments in Limited Partnerships (reported through K-1s) - ($14,169)
Schedule D, Part XI ReconciliationTeach for America files a consolidated audited financial statement with its subsidiary, Teach for All.

Teach For America's change in net assets for the year is $38,386,518. Schedule D, Part XII, Line 4(d) Investments in Limited Partnerships - ($14,169)

DOCUMENTATION OF MEETINGS HELD BY COMMITTEESFORM 990 PART VI, SECTION A, LINE 8BSome of the meetings of the Finance and/or Audit committees of the board were documented through minutes but not all. In the next fiscal year, the organization intends to ensure that this process is consistently adhered to throughout the year.
PoliciesFORM 990 PART VILine 11 - Teach For America's Form 990 was prepared by an independent certified accountant. A draft of the 990 was provided to the Audit Committee of the board of directors for review and approval. Once all questions and comments from the Audit Committee were addressed, a final version of the draft 990 form was made available to the entire board prior to filing via a secure link in an email. Line 12 - TEACH FOR AMERICA DOES NOT CURRENTLY HAVE A PROCESS TO MONITOR COMPLIANCE WITH THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY. The organization anticipates establishing a formal policy in the upcoming year. Line 15 - Teach for America, Inc. uses independent compensation consultants to ensure that the salary set for the CEO is appropriate. Independent compensation consultants are also used to ensure that the salaries for the Operating Committee members and other key officers are appropriate and in line with those of comparable organizations. Compensation is set and adjusted annually at Teach For America. Each year, the President and CFO recommend baseline adjustments to the Finance Committee, which are then approved by the board. These recommendations are based largely on results from independent compensation studies in most years. In the years where the organization does not undertake such a study, we use guiding principles to determine the correct relative positioning for staff member salaries. These guidelines include paying above average relative to the non-profit organizations but not at the top of the market, adhering to internal equity and ensuring we are paying fairly and competitively over the course of staff member careers in the organization. In addition, on an annual basis, the organization conducts a compensation review process - where staff members are evaluated for salary adjustments based on their ability to contribute to the organization, if/whether their roles are impacted by changes in scale of the organization and if/whether their positions warrant an internal, external or geographic market adjustment. Managers provide qualitative guidance, team leaders make percentage recommendations and senior management calibrates to ensure salaries are fair and competitive across the organization and reflective of our compensation philosophy.
DisclosureFORM 990 PART VILine 19 - Teach for America, Inc. makes its Form 990 available to the public by retaining a copy at its place of business. The Form 990 is likewise published on the internet at www.guidestar.org and at www.teachforamerica.org. Teach For America also publishes its financial statements on its website. The organization's governing documents and conflict of interest policy are not ordinarily made available to the public, but, if requested, will be provided at management's discretion.
ORGANIZATION'S PRACTICES FOR OVERSIGHT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT AUDITFORM 990, PART XIThe organization's governing body has a committee charged with oversight of the audit of the organization's financial statements.
