Facts And Circumstances Test

Return Reference	Explanation
Schedule A, Part II, LIne 17A	10% facts and circumstances test The mission of Math for America is to improve mathematics education in U.S. public secondary schools by recruiting, training and retaining outstanding mathematics teachers. Its goal is to increase the number of mathematically talented individuals entering teaching and to support those outstanding mathematics teachers already in the classroom. U.S. students rank poorly in proficiency on both domestic and international math exams, a problem that could cost the country significantly as it tries to compete in an-ever global world. U.S. students fall behind 31 countries in math proficiency. Although math performance levels among countries that ranked 23 to 31 aren't significantly different from that of the U.S., 22 countries outperform the U.S. in the number of students reaching math proficiency. In six countries-plus Shanghai and Hong Kong-a majority of students performed at the proficient level, while in the U.S., less than one-third did. The consequences of these poor testing results have impacted the U.S. economy as firms are experiencing shortages of technically skilled workers and outsourcing professional-level work to workers abroad. Student performance on math tests is closely related to long-term economic productivity growth; if the U.S. could increase its proficiency levels, it would enjoy an increase in its GDP growth. Math for America's vision is to dramatically change mathematics and science education over the next decade throughout America in order to keep our country competitive. Math for America relies upon the generosity of public donors to continue its important work. Historically, the organization has received large donations from a single benefactor, but the organization's goal is to diminish its reliance upon this model and expand its fundraising reach into the public sector. Math for America understands the need to meet the public support test. To that end, it is continually attempting to generate new sources of fundraising, both through broad donor appeals, targeted solicitations, and special events. Internal Revenue Code Regulation 1.170A-9T lists several criteria which indicate facts and circumstances supporting an organization's continued public charity status despite not meeting the 33 1/3 support test. Those criteria are as follows: 1. Attraction of public support - in the past few years, Math for America has sought to expand its fundraising capabilities in order to generate greater public support. These activities target prospective donors who support the mission and programs of the organization. Math for America's efforts to expand its donor base have achieved some success in spreading the organization's mission and reach; however, the organization's public support test continues to hover around 10% despite its best efforts to secure additional funding sources. 2. Percentage of financial support - Math for America's public support percentage continues to exceed 10%. The higher the percentage of support above the 10 percent requirement of paragraph (f)(3)(i) of 1.170A-9T, the lesser will be the burden of establishing the publicly supported nature of the organization through other factors described in paragraph (f)(3), while the lower the percentage, the greater will be the burden. Math for America's support percentage is low because it receives a high percentage of its total support from a small class of donors. The organization is attempting to change this and it recognizes that it may have to consider classifying itself as a private foundation in the coming years. 3. Sources of Support - Math for America's primary sources of contribution revenue must evolve. In recent years, Math for America has commenced running various special event activities geared toward raising funds from a diverse donor base. The organization has also considered partnering with other non-profits with a similar educational focus to increase its broad public support. 4. Representative Governing Body - Math for America has a governing body that is broadly represented by members of the community. Each of these factors are significant positive evidence of Math for America's publicly supported nature. Math for America is currently seeking to increase the amount of donations it receives from the public; if it is unable to generate additional sources of public support, the organization may opt to change its IRS status to that of a private foundation or perhaps to a supporting organization of another Section 501(c)(3) charity.

Explanation

INCOME TAXES

MFA 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. MFA 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. MFA has processes presently in place to ensure the maintenance of its tax-exempt status; to identify and report unrelated income; to determine its filing and tax obligations in jurisdictions for which it has nexus; and to identify and evaluate other matters that may be considered tax positions. The tax years ending June 30, 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2016 are still open to audit for both federal and state purposes. MFA has determined that there are no material uncertain tax positions that require recognition or disclosure in its financial statements.

FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4D	Recruitment and Selection: Math for America recruits talented individuals to apply for the Fellowship programs. THE Recruitment and Selection process consists of attending campus recruitment events, advertising, processing applications and conducting interview sessions.
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 2	Board of Trustees members James Simons and Neil Chriss have a business relationship. Board of Trustees members James Simons and Anne Dinning have a business relationship. Board of Trustees members James Simons and Elizabeth Simons have a family relationship.
FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 11	Math For America's Form 990 was prepared by a nationally renowned accounting firm in conjunction with the organization's financial department. A copy of the draft Form 990 was circulated to the full Board of Trustees for discussion and comment at a board meeting. Each Board Member was provided ample opportunity to comment on the information contained in the 990 prior to its electronic filing with the Internal Revenue Service.
FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 12	In recognition of the increased disclosure requirements of the new Form 990, Math For America instituted a conflict of interest policy organization-wide that was communicated to all employees. Math for America requested that all employees (especially officers, directors and trustees) comply with the requirements of the conflict of interest policy and disclose immediately any potential conflicts. Additionally, Math for America distributed an annual questionnaire to be completed by all of its officers, directors and key employees. This questionnaire is completed on an annual basis. The questionnaire requires the respondent to disclose any family and/or business relationships with other Math for America personnel. The Organization monitors compliance with the distributed questionnaire and follows-up on any potential conflicts. Math for America has received responses from all individuals listed on Part VII of this Form 990 and determined that there was only one business relationship to be disclosed on the Form 990. (Please see response to Part VI, Line 2).
FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 15	Math for America undertakes a thorough process to ensure that the executive compensation it pays to its top management official and all of the officers and key employees of the organization is reasonable given the market in which it operates. the Board of Directors has established a Finance Committee (a sub-set of the Executive Committee) of independent persons that have no personal interest in the proposed compensation agreement. The terms of the compensation package to the President are memorialized in a written employment contract that is in force for a term of three years. Math For America last conducted a comprehensive independent compensation study in November of 2016.
FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION C, LINE 19	The taxpayer makes its Form 990 available to the public by retaining a copy at its place of business. The Form 990 is likewise published on the internet at www.guidestar.org.

	Math for America promotes the importance of K-12 mathematics and science teachers who know the subject they are teaching and who are also professionals in teaching. The organizations goal is to change the perception of the teaching profession and to encourage the best teachers to stay in the classroom and amplify their impact. MA serves as a model, inspiring a network of Master Teacher programs in cities and states across the country. Much of the outreach work is addressed at the national level, to encourage an expanded corps of highly qualified STEM teachers throughout the nation and not merely in MA related programs.
