Form And Line ReferenceFormAndLineReferenceDesc	ExplanationExplanationTxt
Form 990, Part III, Line 2	Safe Babies Court Teams was called Child Welfare in last year's 990.
Form 990, Part III, Line 3	Transcultural Initiatives and Infant Mental Health have been discontinued as separate programs. They are now integrated into the other programs.
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 1a	ZERO TO THREE's Board delegates authority to act on behalf of the Board to a ten member Executive Committee in between board meetings. The Executive Committee may exercise all powers of the Board, when the Board is not in session, except such powers of the Board, if any, as the Board may specifically reserve for itself or as may be reserved in the Articles of Incorporation, provided that the Board is notified of committee actions on a regular basis.
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 2	Eugene Stein and Mindy Stein have a family relationship.
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 6	In June 2016, ZERO TO THREE initiated a membership program. Members receive access to new education and training, research, and networking, along with discounts on products and events. Members are able to connect with other early childhood professionals and to keep up to date on the latest developments. ZERO TO THREE's members provide direct service to children and families, administer programs for young children, and work to plan, create policy, and fund early childhood systems. This membership program does not meet the IRS definition of members and thus the answer to line 6 is "no."
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b	The draft IRS Form 990 is presented to the Finance Committee of the Board of Directors for review and approval. They have the opportunity to review the filing and ask questions for clarification. A copy of the draft IRS Form 990 is then distributed to all Board Members via email prior to filing with the Internal Revenue Service.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c	The Conflict of Interest policy is issued to all staff as part of the Personnel Policies and Procedures Manual. Conflict of Interest Disclosure forms are requested annually from all staff by the Human Resources department. Staff members are advised to notify their supervisor whenever there is a potential conflict of interest. Any conflict of interest situation is first reviewed by the supervisor with the Human Resources Director. If a determination is not able to be made as to whether there is a conflict of interest, it then goes to the executive management team for review and determination. Board members are also asked to review and sign Conflict of Interest statements annually. If a conflict of interest is found, ZERO TO THREE requests the employee or Board member to remove themselves from any decision-making process where this conflict would exist.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15	The President, Vice President, and Treasurer of the Board of Directors form a Personnel Committee and conduct the performance review and determine compensation and salary adjustments for the Executive Director. The Board periodically contracts for a compensation study by an independent compensation consultant which includes an analysis of similar industry comparisons and benchmarks to ensure appropriate compensation levels are maintained. The last compensation study for the Executive Director was conducted in June 2017. The Executive Director conducts the performance review for the Chief Financial and Administrative Officer and other senior members of management and sets compensation that is aligned to salary benchmark data provided by ZERO TO THREE's Human Resources staff from annual surveys.
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19	ZERO TO THREE places its annual report on its website for public access at www.zerotothree.org. The IRS Form 990 is available at www.guidestar.org. ZERO TO THREE does not currently make its governing documents, 990-T, financial statements, nor conflict of interest policy available to the public.
Form 990, Part IX, Line 11g	Sub-recipients under federal grants $10,279,307; fees for services $4,543,064; consultants $1,974,028; temporary help $222,331; honoraria $14,631; other $111,722.
