|---|---|
| FORM 990 - ORGANIZATION'S MISSION | THE ORGANIZATION SUPPORTS MEMBERS OF MU ALPHA THETA WITH SCHOLARSHIPS AND AWARDS, INCLUDING THE ANDREE AWARD TO SUPPORT STUDENTS WHO WILL BECOME MATHEMATICS TEACHERS. ALSO, IT PROVIDES GRANTS TO OUTSTANDING TEACHERS WHO SPONSOR A CHAPTER AT THEIR SCHOOL AND TO THEIR CHAPTER OF MU ALPHA THETA. EACH SUMMER, THE FOUNDATION RUNS A NATIONAL CONVENTION WHERE MEMBERS SPEND FOUR DAYS DOING MATH COMPETITIONS FOR FUN, GIVING MATH "CHALK TALKS," ATTENDING MATH SPEAKER SESSIONS, AND SOCIALIZING WITH OTHERS WHO LOVE MATHEMATICS. |
| FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4A | WAS THAT IT ALLOWED STUDENTS WHO LOVE MATH TO INTERACT OVER THE FOUR AND A HALF DAYS WITH OTHER STUDENTS WHO ALSO LOVE MATH, ONE OF THE FEW PLACES THESE STUDENTS COULD FIND SUCH AN ENVIRONMENT. MANY OF THE PARTICPANTS AT THE NATIONAL CONVENTION CONTINUE TO STUDY MATHEMATICS AND SCIENCES IN COLLEGE DUE TO THE SKILLS THEY DEVELOPED WHILE COMPETING. SOME PAST PARTICIPANTS HAVE EVEN BECOME MATHEMATICS TEACHERS AT THE HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL SO THEY COULD SHARE THEIR LOVE OF MATH WITH OTHERS BECAUSE THEY THOUGHT MATH WAS FUN AND EXCITING. |
| FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4B | CONVENTION GRANTS - FOUR CHAPTERS OF MU ALPHA THETA WERE AWARDED A CONVENTION GRANT BY THE EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION IN 2015. GRANTS WERE AWARDED TO SCHOOLS THAT HAD NEVER ATTENDED THE NATIONAL CONVENTION BEFORE. ONE SCHOOL THAT HAD A CONVENTION GRANT LAST YEAR, RETURNED TO THE CONVENTION USING A 1,000 MINI-GRANT, GIVEN TO ENCOURAGE THEIR CONTINUED PARTICIPATION. EACH CONVENTION GRANT PROVIDED FREE REGISTRATION FOR AT LEAST THREE STUDENTS AND A TEACHER TO ATTEND THE SALT LAKE CITY NATIONAL CONVENTION. IN ADDITION, THE GRANT PROVIDED UP TO 500 IN REIMBURSED TRAVEL EXPENSES FOR THE SCHOOL'S PARTICIPANTS. MANY SCHOOLS ATTENDING THE NATIONAL CONVENTION ON A GRANT WILL RETURN IN FUTURE YEARS WITH OTHER STUDENTS FROM THEIR MU ALPHA THETA CHAPTER AFTER GRANT ATTENDEES RELATE HOW MUCH THEY ENJOYED SHARING THEIR LOVE OF MATH WITH OTHER LIKE-MINDED STUDENTS. AWARDS - THE EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION GAVE AWARDS TO OUTSTANDING CHAPTERS, SPONSORS, AND STUDENTS. ONE SCHOOL WAS AWARDED 2,500 FOR SERVICE TO STUDENTS IN THEIR COMMUNITY. A NUMBER OF AWARDS WERE PRESENTED TO OUTSTANDING SPONSORS. WINNERS RECEIVED 2,000 AS A CASH AWARD FOR THEIR SERVICE AND THEIR SCHOOL RECEIVED A 1,000 GRANT. A 4,000 CASH AWARD WAS PRESENTED TO AN OUTSTANDING MEMBER AND TWO AWARDS OF 2,500 EACH WERE PRESENTED TO MEMBERS PURSUING A CAREER IN MATHEMATICS TEACHING. PRIZES - DURING THE YEAR, OUTSIDE COMPANIES AND ORGANIZATIONS DONATED CALCULATORS, IPADS, SOFTWARE, AND MATHEMCATICAL CDS FOR THE FOUNDATION TO GIVE AWAY AS PRIZES AT MATH COMPETITIONS, INCLUDING AT OUR NATIONAL CONVENTION. |
| FORM 990, PART V | LINE 2A - EMPLOYEES REPORTED ON FORM W-3 THE SALARY AND BENEFIT EXPENSES REPORTED ON FORM 990, PART IX, LINE 5 ARE EXPENSES INCURRED FOR HOURS OF SERVICE RENDERED BY CERTAIN INDIVIDUALS. HOWEVER, THESE INDIVIDUALS ARE REPORTED ON FORM W-3 OF THE UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA, AN AGENCY OF THE STATE OF OKLAHOMA. THIS ORGANIZATION REIMBURSES THE UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA FOR USE OF THESE EMPLOYEES' TIME. CONSEQUENTLY, THIS ORGANIZATION DOES NOT FILE FORM W-3, SO THIS QUESTION IS ANSWERED ZERO. |
