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. 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. 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). 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 DisclosureIncome TaxesTFA 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 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 and, had no material impact on the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The tax years ended 2008, 2009, and 2010 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.
Schedule D, Part XI ReconciliationTeach for America files a consolidated audited financial statement with its subsidiary, Leadership for Educational Equity. The reconciliation in part XI of Schedule D reconciles back to Teach for America's financial information as presented in audited financial statements and not to the consolidated numbers (inclusive of Teach for All and Leadership). Teach For America's change in net assets for the year is $50,843,668.

DOCUMENTATION OF MEETINGS HELD BY COMMITTEESFORM 990 PART VI, SECTION A, LINE 8BAll of the meetings of the Finance and/or Audit committees of the board were documented through minutes and the majority of the other 7 committees were similarly documented but not all. The organization is implementing a new management process to ensure such documentation is collected consistently 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's conflicts policy covers the activities of officers, directors and key employees. Each year, covered persons are required to sign a disclosure statement indicating their acknowledgement of the conflicts policy and to disclose relationships that might give rise to a conflict. In the event that a potential conflict of interest arises regarding a covered person, that individual is required to immediately disclose the existence of such conflict to the Chairperson of the Board or the Board itself (in cases involving an officer or the Chair). Determinations regarding the policy and its application are made by the Chair or, in cases involving the Chair, the Executive Committee acting on behalf of the Board in accordance with its charter. 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.
