| Return Reference | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Pt VI, Line 11b | The 990 draft was emailed to board members with a request that each member respond during a comment period with either an approval or with additions/corrections. Responses, if any, were then summarized and any changes forwarded to the tax preparer for inclusion in the final return. |
| Pt VI, Line 15a | The executive director volunteers her time so there was no discussion about compensation. |

| Pt VI, Line 19 | Our 990 is available on Candid (formerly GuideStar) and upon request, and our past few 990s and financial statements are included on our website.

| Other | Pt. III, line 4 - Statement of Program Accomplishments: OVERVIEW: We provided funding for programs in education, healthcare, housing, and support services for 134 underprivileged children ranging from preschool age through university level in the Kathmandu Valley of Nepal. We provided oversight and coordination for our programs in partnership with NGO partner in Nepal, Bhuvaneshwori Satyal Foundation (BSF). In Nepal, our children finished the school year and advanced to higher grades. Further, we had four graduates who obtained jobs and became independent of Mitrata support. They obtained bachelors degrees in business studies, education, and computer science and technology, and barista training. Additional accomplishments are: (1)BSF reinstated the After-School program, temporarily halted during the pandemic. (2) All six students in the 10th grade successfully cleared the rigorous SEE examination and advanced to the 11th grade. (3) USA staff and board operations migrated to Google Workspace. (4) Two trips to Nepal were completed with record participation. (5) In partnership with Karma Thalo Foundation, we hosted an all-day in-person health clinic for our staff and children. (6) Employees Alexis Mead and Anna Wertman traveled to Seattle for the first time since 2020 to meet with local board members and child sponsors. (7) We completed the Contact Center program video. (8) Mitrata reclaimed the top spot in organic internet searches for sponsoring a child in Nepal. Consequently, we received numerous inquiries regarding child sponsorship. (9) All four board officer positions were filled at the end of 2023 for the new year enhancing board leadership. (10) Twenty-four new Child and Contact Center sponsorships were secured by the end of the year. (11) We implemented three fundraising events in the USA. (12) We held a meeting of the Nancy Williger Legacy Circle members for planned giving. ACCOMPLISHMENTS IN NEPAL: Contact Center: The Contact Center, located in Kathmandu, is a day educational program which prepared 33 children of varying ages to attend school for the first time. The population served includes children documented to be from low SES families such as itinerant workers or migrants. In preparation for opening another Contact Center in 2024, staff for the new center were hired and trained. Child Sponsorship Program: All children were sponsored and fully-engaged in school programs. Most of the children received extra tutoring, family and individual counseling, career counseling, healthcare services, and annual checkups. The children were taken on numerous field trips and cultural trips to widen their educational experience. A full-time nurse was hired to address the increasing needs for both physical and mental healthcare support services. Elementary School Children: Thirty-one children in Class UKG through Class 10 were supported with both housing and education and attended boarding schools (or emergency housing) throughout Kathmandu Valley. We supported another 32 children for their education who lived at home often with a single parent. 11th-12th Grade Children: Fourteen children in 11th and 12th grade attended various schools. Post 12th Grade Children: Through an individualized approach and our commitment to support each child into adulthood, 34 children attended universities in the fields of social work, education, computer engineering, nursing, dental surgery, medicine, hotel and business management. Graduates from Our Program: Five children completed their education and were able to obtain jobs and become independent of Mitrata. Alumni: Twenty-three alumni attended a special event and there are now 56 alumni who are regularly contacted by BSF. More Support Services: Many of our families continued to struggle financially and needed more social, emotional, and environmental support. Children need mental health services and drug treatment programs. Three children were assisted through rehabilitation programs. After School Program: The after-school program reopened and served children in our programs whose parents are not available after school for supervision. Children received extra tutoring and enjoyed activities. Medical Clinic: In partnership with USA-based Karma Thala Foundation, a medical clinic was set up for the families, staff, and children of the program in Nepal. Two hundred thirty people were served. ACCOMPLISHMENTS IN USA: Candid, Better Business Bureau, and Charity Navigator: We continue to be a Gold Star Transparecy Candid and Better Business Bureau accredited charity, and we added Charity Navigator with a 4-star rating. Non-Voting Advisory and Young Professionals Boards: We continued with eight advisors, five Young Professional volunteers, and six non-board committee members. Scholarship Fund: We continued this fund. With many children going on to college, and rising inflation rates, we recognize the need to help offset the extra costs to care for children of college age. Many colleges add extra fees for exams, preparatory courses, internships, and field trips, and often require laptop computers. Endowment Fund: We continued to manage this fund which is held in perpetuity and invested, with the annual returns used to provide scholarships for our children. Cultural and Oversight Trips: Fourteen child sponsors and two staff members participated in the fall Sponsor Trip to Nepal. Four board members attended the work trip to Nepal in the spring. Four children were graduates in the all-day graduation celebration which was attended by 100 of the other children. Sponsors visited the programs and met with their sponsored children and explored the culture and beauty of Nepal. USA Fundraising and Community Awareness Events: Mitrata hosted two in-person fundraising events, the Trivia Night and Holiday Bazaar in St. Louis MO, and a virtual Miles for Mitrata Kids. Staff visited Seattle and started planning for a Seattle Trivia Night for 2024. Nancy Williger Legacy Circle: Mitrata hosted an evening with the Legacy Circle members. |
