ExplanationOn a state level, local advisory board members, paid staff or management had direct contact with state legislators, their staff 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. 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 and legislation permitting Teach For America to be recognized by the state as an alternative pathway to teach licensure. Teach For America has used consultants at the state level to provide lobbying services, such as bill and regulation tracking on matters, including but not limited to, teacher certification and state funding. At the federal level, Teach For America staff interfaced with Members of Congress, their personal and committee staff, and key members of the President's Administration and federal agencies, to advocate for legislation and regulations that would support Teach For America and the constituencies we serve.ExplanationTxt

Schedule D, Part IV, Line 2b Explanation of escrow agreementTEACH FOR AMERICA HELD A SECURITY DEPOSIT FROM A SUBLEASE TENANT FROM IN ITS DC OFFICE IN THE AMOUNT OF $8,000. THIS AMOUNT IS RECORDED AS A LIABILITY ON TEACH FOR AMERICA'S BALANCE SHEET.
Schedule D, Part V, Line 4 Intended uses of endowment fundsTeach 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 organization programs (and grants).
Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 FIN 48 (ASC 740) footnoteTFA follows 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 guidance provides that the tax effects from an uncertain tax position can only be recognized in the financial statements if the position is "more-likely-than-not" to be sustained if the position were to be challenged by a taxing authority. The assessment of the tax position is based solely on the technical merits of the position, without regard to the likelihood that the tax position may be challenged. TFA is exempt from federal income tax under IRC section 501(c)(3), though it is subject to tax on income unrelated to its exempt purpose, unless that income is otherwise excluded by the Code. TFA has processes presently in place to ensure the maintenance of its tax-exempt status; to identify and report unrelated business income; to determine its filing and tax obligations in jurisdictions for which it was nexus; and to identify and evaluate other matters that may be considered tax positions. TFA has determined that there are no material uncertain tax positions that require recognition or disclosure in the accompanying financial statements. In addition, TFA has not recorded a provision for income taxes as it has no material tax liability from unrelated business income activities.

Phoenix Union High School District
4502 N Central AvePhoenixAZ85012866000534Government Entity$125,000$0N/AN/AThe purpose of this grant is to create spaces that support the successful programs we have built the past four years. We built a campus on an idea. An idea that all students can achieve greatness no matter the zip-code in which they live and to be the first "A" rated high school in Maryvale. Now that we know what works, our space is not necessarily suited to do that. This money would allow us to build a STEM lab, buy additional athletic equipment, create an office that is more family friendly so there are spaces to call and meet with parents, and help fund our college visits and AMPED and GIC classes.

Form 990, Part VI, Line 12c Conflict of interest policyTeach For America, Inc. requires each officer, director, or key employee annually (1) to review the Conflict of Interest Policy; (2) to disclose any possible personal, family, or business relationship that reasonably could give rise to a conflict of interest or the appearance of a conflict of interest; and (3) to acknowledge by his or her signature that he or she is acting in accordance with the letter and spirit of such Policy. When a Covered Person becomes aware of a proposed Covered Transaction, he or she shall have a duty to take the following actions: (a) immediately disclose the existence and circumstances of such Covered Transaction to the Chair (in the case of officers and key employees other than the Chair) or to the Board of Directors of the Organization (the "Board") or applicable committee thereof (in the case of directors and the Chair); (b) refrain from using his or her personal influence to encourage the Organization to enter into the Covered Transaction; and (c) physically excuse himself or herself from participation in any discussions regarding the Covered Transaction with officers, directors, and employees of the Organization, except to respond to requests for information. Conflicts of interest are administered by the board of Directors, or any applicable committee thereof, with the assistance of the Board chair, and are responsible for reviewing the annual disclosures and receiving disclosures of proposed covered transactions, reviewing proposed covered transactions and determining if an actual conflict of interest exists. The board documents their review of each declaration in the minutes of the meeting at which the covered transaction is covered. Documentation also includes the basis for the final determination and resolution for each covered transaction. If the final determination was accomplished by action of a Board committee or the Board chair, a report to the Board of Directors is conducted regarding any covered transaction approved in accordance with the conflicts of interest policy.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 15a Process to establish compensation of top management officialTeach For America, Inc. uses independent compensation consultants to ensure that the salary set for the CEO is appropriate.

Documentation provided to the committee before voting on CEO compensation includes current salary, benchmarked market data, salary recommendations for the upcoming year, and alternative options for potential salary increases. The compensation setting process, as outlined above, was last performed during the period beginning in March 2019 and concluding in June 2019.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 15b Process to establish compensation of other employeesIndependent compensation consultants are used to ensure that the salaries for the management team members and other key officers are appropriate and in line with those of comparable organizations. Compensation structures and individual staff member salaries are reviewed and adjusted annually at Teach For America. Regarding our compensation structures, each year, the Benefits & Compensation team recommends baseline adjustments to the Management Team based on market research. Once approved, any financial impact is included in the overall budget recommended to the finance committee and then approved by the board. These compensation structures are then used to set staff member salaries in the next year in line with the organization's guiding principles. Those guiding principles consist of (1) paying competitively relative to non-profit organizations but not at the top of the market, (2) maintaining internal pay equity, (3) accounting for changes in the marketplace for individual roles , and (4) ensuring the organization is paying fairly and competitively over the course of staff member careers through annual evaluation of a staff member's changing contribution to the organization. Staff salaries are calibrated annually by the management team and approved by the CEO to ensure fairness and equity across the organization and alignment with our compensation philosophy. The compensation setting process, as outlined above, pertains to the CEO and EVP level positions and was last performed during the period beginning in March 2019 and concluding in June 2019.
