Desc	PROMOTING AND STRENGTHENING EARLY LITERACY:A CHILD'S EARLY YEARS ARE CRITICAL FOR LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT, AND SMART START PLAYS A VITAL ROLE IN PROMOTING LITERACY FROM THE START. THIS SUPPORT STARTS AT HOME AND LITERACY DEVELOPMENT AND PROMOTION IS A CRITICAL PART OF SUPPORTING FAMILIES. SMART START SUPPORTS A RANGE OF PROGRAMS AIMED AT BUILDING THE SKILLS CHILDREN NEED FOR SUCCESS IN SCHOOL AND LIFE. PROGRAMS LIKE DOLLY PARTON'S IMAGINATION LIBRARY (DPIL), RAISING A READER, MOTHEREAD/FATHEREAD, AND BOOK BABIES FOSTER LANGUAGE-RICH INTERACTIONS, ENHANCE READING FREQUENCY, AND STRENGTHEN RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES. DOLLY PARTON'S IMAGINATION LIBRARY (DPIL): THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY ALLOCATED FUNDING TO NCPC IN 2017 TO INCREASE ACCESS TO DPIL, AN EARLY LITERACY DISTRIBUTION PROGRAM THAT MAILS AGE-APPROPRIATE BOOKS MONTHLY TO REGISTERED CHILDREN. THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY'S INVESTMENT LEVERAGED SMART START'S COMMUNITY ROOTS AND RESULTED IN RAPID EXPANSION OF THE PROGRAM. IN LESS THAN TWO YEARS, EVERY CHILD UNDER THE AGE OF 5 IN NORTH CAROLINA HAD ACCESS TO DPIL, AND BY JUNE 30, 2024, THE SMART START NETWORK DISTRIBUTED MORE THAN 18.9 MILLION BOOKS TO NORTH CAROLINA CHILDREN. THE PERCENTAGE OF ELIGIBLE CHILDREN GREW TO 50% IN 2024, REACHING THE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF CHILDREN POSSIBLE WITH THE CURRENT ALLOCATED FUNDING. THIS EXPANSION WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE WITHOUT SMART START'S STATEWIDE INFRASTRUCTURE. IN 2023, THE NORTH CAROLINA GENERAL ASSEMBLY ALLOCATED AN ADDITIONAL $1.5 MILLION, NON-RECURRING EACH YEAR FOR THE FY 2023-2025 BIENNIUM. WITH INCREASED BOOK AND SHIPPING COSTS, THE ADDITIONAL FUNDING ALLOWED SMART START TO CONTINUE SERVING APPROXIMATELY 50% OF NORTH CAROLINA'S ELIGIBLE CHILDREN 0-5 EACH MONTH	Desc

Desc	NETWORKWIDE PROJECTS TO SUPPORT PRIMARY CONTENT AREAS OF EARLY CARE AND EDUCATION, FAMILY SUPPORT, AND CHILD AND FAMILY HEALTH IN AN EFFORT TO LIVE INTO THE LEGISLATIVE VISION OF SMART START AS A PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP THAT INNOVATES TO STRENGTHEN THE STATE'S EARLY CHILDHOOD SYSTEM, NCPC, IN PARTNERSHIP WITH STATE AGENCIES, PHILANTHROPIC AND OTHER EARLY CHILDHOOD ORGANIZATIONS, HAS PLAYED A LEADING ROLE IN OTHER PROJECTS AND INITIATIVES, SUCH AS THESE PROGRAMS IN 2023-2024 (SEE 2023-24 SMART START IMPACT REPORT FOR MORE DETAILS):--SMART START SUPPORTS CHILD CARE QUALITY: SMART START'S INFRASTRUCTURE PROVIDES ESSENTIAL SUPPORT TO ENHANCE CHILD CARE QUALITY.

PARTNERSHIPS THEN WORK DIRECTLY WITH EARLY LEARNING PROGRAMS, ENSURING TEACHERS HAVE THE RESOURCES, TRAINING, AND TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE NEEDED TO PROVIDE HIGH-QUALITY CARE. 23.7% (1,262) OF NORTH CAROLINA'S CHILD CARE PROGRAMS WORKED TO IMPROVED QUALITY OF CARE IN FY 2023-2024 BY INCREASING TEACHER KNOWLEDGE AND ENHANCING EFFECTIVE TEACHER-CHILD INTERACTIONS--BUILDING FAMILY ENGAGEMENT AND LEADERSHIP CAPACITY: SMART START EMPOWERS FAMILIES BY INVOLVING THEM IN DECISIONS THAT AFFECT THEIR COMMUNITIES. WITH THE SUPPORT OF PRESCHOOL DEVELOPMENT GRANT BIRTH-TO-FIVE (PDG B-5) FUNDING, NCPC PROVIDED OVER 100 TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE OPPORTUNITIES, HOSTED MONTHLY COMMUNITY OF PRACTICE MEETINGS, AND SUPPORTED LOCAL PARTNERSHIPS IN EXPANDING FAMILY ENGAGEMENT AND LEADERSHIP EFFORTS. NCPC ALSO CONTINUED PARTNERING WITH COUNTERPART CONSULTING TO PROVIDE TRAINING AND COACHING ON RACIAL EQUITY.--TEACHER COMPENSATION: MANY EARLY CHILDHOOD TEACHERS ARE NOT PAID A LIVING WAGE. IN FACT, ACCORDING TO THE 2019 NC CHILD CARE WORKFORCE STUDY, THE MEDIAN AVERAGE SALARY FOR CHILD CARE TEACHERS IN 2023 WAS $12.00 PER HOUR FAR BELOW THE LIVING WAGE OF $29.32 FOR AN ADULT LIVING WITH ONE CHILD IN NORTH CAROLINA.4 SMART START PLAYS A KEY ROLE IN ADDRESSING THIS ISSUE THROUGH SMART START'S INVESTMENT OF THE CHILD CARE WAGE$ PROGRAM, WHICH OFFERS FINANCIAL INCENTIVES TO TEACHERS. BEYOND WAGE$, SOME LOCAL PARTNERSHIPS OFFER SCHOLARSHIPS AND OTHER COMPENSATION TO SUPPORT THE EARLY CARE AND EDUCATION WORKFORCE. IN 2023-2024, OVER 4,300 TEACHERS RECEIVED SALARY SUPPLEMENTS THROUGH THESE PROGRAMS AND OTHER COMPENSATION SUPPORTS. OF THIS AMOUNT, OVER 82% REMAINED IN THEIR POSITIONS FOR A FULL YEAR. THIS HELPS STABILIZE THE WORKFORCE AND RETAIN SKILLED TEACHERS.--SUBSIDY FUNDING AND SCHOLARSHIPS: IN FY 23-24, SMART START MANAGED OVER $65.3 MILLION IN LOCAL SUBSIDY FUNDS, HELPING FAMILIES AFFORD CHILD CARE AND REMAIN IN THE WORKFORCE. SMART START ALSO SHARES BEST PRACTICES FOR SUBSIDY MANAGEMENT, ENSURING FAMILIES RECEIVE CONSISTENT AND EFFECTIVE SUPPORT.

THIS DUAL APPROACH HELPS MITIGATE FUNDING GAPS AND ENSURES THAT FAMILIES ACROSS NORTH CAROLINA HAVE ACCESS TO QUALITY EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION. MANY LOCAL PARTNERSHIPS TAILOR THEIR USE OF THESE FUNDS TO ADDRESS SPECIFIC ACUTE NEEDS WITHIN THEIR COMMUNITIES, SUCH AS FAMILIES WITH LIMITED FINANCIAL RESOURCES, CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS, OR FAMILIES IN UNDERSERVED RURAL AREAS. USING DATA-DRIVEN APPROACHES, THEY IDENTIFY CRITICAL GAPS IN CHILD CARE ACCESS AND AFFORDABILITY AND ALLOCATE RESOURCES ACCORDINGLY. THIS TARGETED APPROACH HELPS ENSURE THAT THE MOST VULNERABLE POPULATIONS RECEIVE THE SUPPORT THEY NEED TO THRIVE.--ADVANCING CHILD, FAMILY, AND COMMUNITY HEALTH: SMART START CONNECTS FAMILIES WITH VITAL RESOURCES TO SUPPORT THE WHOLE HEALTH OF THE CHILD WHICH INCLUDES MATERNAL, PERINATAL, AND POSTPARTUM HEALTH.

THE NETWORK PLAYS A CRUCIAL ROLE IN SUPPORTING SCREENING FOR DEVELOPMENTAL DELAYS. EARLY INTERVENTION CONNECTS FAMILIES WITH NEEDED RESOURCES BEFORE CHILDREN ENTER SCHOOL, FOSTERING STRONGER DEVELOPMENTAL OUTCOMES.

Explanation	THE NORTH CAROLINA PARTNERSHIP FOR CHILDREN, INC. (NCPC) HAS A STAFF DEDICATED TO ON-SITE FINANCIAL AND PROGRAMMATIC MONITORING OF GRANTS. POLICIES, PROCEDURES, AND MONITORING PROGRAMS HAVE BEEN IN PLACE SINCE 2001 AND ARE PERIODICALLY REVIEWED AND REVISED AS NEEDED. OF THE GRANTEES, 75 (REPRESENTING NEARLY 100% OF OUR TOTAL GRANTS) ARE NONPROFITS THAT PROVIDE SERVICES TO NORTH CAROLINA'S YOUNG CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES THROUGH NORTH CAROLINA'S EARLY CHILDHOOD INITIATIVE ("SMART START"). AS REQUIRED BY STATE LEGISLATION, THESE GRANTEES GENERALLY HAVE BIENNIAL AUDITS (FINANCIAL AND COMPLIANCE) BY AN INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM. ACCORDINGLY, NCPC TYPICALLY COORDINATES ITS MONITORING EFFORT WITH THAT OF THE AUDITORS AND, THEREFORE, ALSO MONITORS THESE GRANTEES. MONITORING IS RIGOROUS AND INCLUDES, BUT IS NOT LIMITED TO, A REVIEW OF BOARD OF DIRECTOR OPERATIONS, FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING, AND PROGRAMMATIC COMPLIANCE. A FORMAL CLOSE-OUT CONFERENCE IS HELD WITH BOARD MEMBERS, MANAGEMENT, AND OTHER STAFF. SUBSEQUENT TO THE CLOSE-OUT CONFERENCE, A FORMAL MONITORING REPORT WITH RECOMMENDATIONS FOR IMPROVEMENT IS ISSUED TO THE GRANTEE'S BOARD CHAIR, EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE AND EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR. DEPENDING UPON THE NATURE AND NUMBER OF ISSUES NOTED IN THE REPORT, A MONITORING VISIT MAY BE HELD IN SIX TO EIGHT MONTHS TO FOLLOW UP ON THE STATUS OF THE ISSUES NOTED IN THE REPORT. NCPC'S EXECUTIVE MANAGEMENT IS PROVIDED WITH A SUMMARY OF GRANTEE MONITORING RESULTS.	ExplanationTxt

FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 12C	THE NORTH CAROLINA PARTNERSHIP FOR CHILDREN, INC. (NCPC) RECOGNIZES THAT EFFECTIVE GOVERNANCE DEPENDS ON DELIBERATE, THOUGHTFUL, AND DISINTERESTED DECISION-MAKING BY ITS DIRECTORS, OFFICERS AND STAFF. MOREOVER, NCPC'S WORK DEPENDS ON THE CONTINUED TRUST AND CONFIDENCE IN ITS INTEGRITY, WHICH IS GROUNDED IN FAIR AND RESPONSIBLE DECISION-MAKING. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF NCPC BELIEVES IT IS IN THE BEST INTEREST OF NCPC TO ESTABLISH A CLEAR AND CONCISE CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY. THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY IS INTENDED TO PROMOTE THE AVOIDANCE OF CONFLICTS OF INTEREST AND THE APPEARANCE OF IMPROPRIETY BY NCPC DIRECTORS, OFFICERS AND STAFF. IT SETS THE RULES FOR CONDUCT, INCLUDING DISCLOSURE BY DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS OF PERSONAL OR FINANCIAL INTERESTS THAT MAY AFFECT THE BUSINESS OF NCPC. ANNUALLY EACH MEMBER OF THE BOARD IS REQUIRED TO REVIEW A COPY OF THE POLICY AND TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT HE OR SHE HAS DONE SO. THE POLICY IS MONITORED AND ENFORCED THROUGH THE FOLLOWING ACTIONS: A. PRIOR TO ACTION ON A CONTRACT OR TRANSACTION, THE BOARD OR COMMITTEE CHAIR SHALL ASK THE GROUP TO IDENTIFY ACTUAL OR PERCEIVED CONFLICTS OF INTEREST. A DIRECTOR WHO KNOWS HE OR SHE HAS A CONFLICT OF INTEREST SHALL DISCLOSE THE CONFLICT AND SUCH DISCLOSURE SHALL BE REFLECTED IN THE MINUTES OF THE MEETING. B. WHEN THERE IS A DOUBT AS TO WHETHER A CONFLICT EXISTS, THE MATTER SHALL BE RESOLVED BY A VOTE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS EXCLUDING THE PERSON(S) CONCERNING WHOSE SITUATION THE DOUBT HAS ARISEN. C. ALL APPOINTED BOARD MEMBERS SHALL AVOID CONFLICTS OF INTEREST AND THE APPEARANCE OF IMPROPRIETY. SHOULD INSTANCES ARISE WHEN A CONFLICT MAY BE PERCEIVED, ANY INDIVIDUAL WHO MAY BENEFIT DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY FROM THE NCPC'S DISBURSEMENT OF FUNDS SHALL ABSTAIN FROM PARTICIPATING IN ANY DECISION OR DELIBERATIONS BY NCPC REGARDING THE DISBURSEMENT OF FUNDS. D. THE PERSON KNOWN TO HAVE A CONFLICT OF INTEREST MAY NOT VOTE ON THE CONTRACT OR TRANSACTION AND MUST LEAVE THE ROOM DURING THE VOTE UNLESS LEAVING THE ROOM BRINGS ATTENDANCE BELOW THE LEVEL OF A QUORUM. THE OFFICIAL MINUTES SHALL REFLECT THAT THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST WAS DISCLOSED AND PERSON(S) WITH THE CONFLICT WERE NOT PRESENT DURING THE VOTE AND DID NOT VOTE ON THE MATTER.
