| Part III, line 2 | We launched an educational program supported by Always In The Club: The True Story of The All-New Mickey Mouse Club, a three-volume book series. This program preserves the cultural legacy of the television program while promoting our organization further generating revenue to support the foundations youth mentoring and arts education initiatives. Its principal purpose is to educate readers on the power of mentorship and provide real-world examples of successful strategies inspired by the show and carried forward by Always In The Club Foundation. All Limited Edition book sales are final and print versions are pending production and delivery in FY 2025. |
| Part III, line 3 | We temporarily paused activities on our Destination: Disney Imagination Campus program that facilitates Experiential Learning experiences to Disney Imagination Campus educational workshops. The workshops deliver hands-on learning experiences in STEAM. The purpose of the pause was to focus on broadening our partnerships and increasing our capacity to serve more children in need. We anticipate resuming in FY 2026 or 2027. |
| Part VI, Line 11a | The draft Form 990 was reviewed by the Executive Director and Treasurer. The reviewed draft was then provided to all members of the Board of Directors for review before filing. |
| Part VI, Line 12c | All board members and officers annually complete disclosure statements identifying potential conflicts. Before any transaction with an interested person the conflicted individual discloses the conflict and recuses themselves from discussion and voting. Independent board members review the transaction determine it is at fair market value and document approval in board minutes. Related party transactions are reported on Schedule L when IRS reporting thresholds are met and are otherwise disclosed in Schedule O where appropriate. If a conflict is discovered after a transaction the board reviews for compliance with fair market value standards and takes corrective action if necessary. A During FY 2024 three members of the Foundations Board of Directors each received a profit-share payment of 24.97 74.91 in aggregate from a third-party rights holder in connection with their individual creative contributions interviews and editorial input to the Foundations book project Always In The Club: The True Story of The All-New Mickey Mouse Club. The payments compensated these directors for their personal creative work and not for their service as Foundation directors. The third-party rights holder is an independent vendor and is not and has never been an officer director employee or substantial contributor of the Foundation. The profit-sharing arrangement was reviewed and approved in advance by the Foundations Board of Directors with the three affected directors recusing themselves from the vote in accordance with the Foundations written conflict of interest policy. The Foundation did not pay or receive any portion of these profit-share amounts. B During FY 2024 the Foundation paid Mr. Jonathan Smith the Foundations Treasurer and a Certified Public Accountant 1,350 for accounting services rendered to the Foundation in his capacity as an independent service provider separate from his service as a director. A portion of these payments was issued under a misspelling of Mr. Smiths first name; the Foundation is in the process of issuing a corrected Form 1099-NEC to consolidate the affected payments under his correct name and taxpayer identification number. The arrangement and compensation rate were reviewed and approved in advance by the Foundations Board of Directors with Mr. Smith recusing himself from the vote in accordance with the Foundations written conflict of interest policy. The compensation was at or below the rate charged by comparable service providers. C During FY 2024 the Foundation paid Ms. Jennifer McGill a member of the Foundations Board of Directors 180 as a per diem in connection with her in-person participation in an MMC89 program activation. The payment was made in her capacity as an alumni program participant separate from her service as a director and was at or below customary per diem rates for comparable engagements. The arrangement was reviewed and approved in advance by the Foundations Board of Directors with Ms. McGill recusing herself from the vote in accordance with the Foundations written conflict of interest policy. |
| Part VI, Line 15 | The CEOs hourly compensation rate was set at the Massachusetts state minimum wage. The rate was reviewed and approved by independent members of the Board of Directors with the CEO recused from the discussion and vote. The approval is documented contemporaneously in board meeting minutes. No other officers or key employees received compensation during the tax year. |
| Part VI, Line 19 | Annual Reports and Form 990 returns are accessible on the organizations website at alwaysintheclub. org and through GuideStar Candid. Governing documents conflict of interest policy and additional financial statements are provided to any member of the public upon written request at no charge. |
| Part IX, Line 11g | Book production publishing performance fees and fiscal sponsorship commissions. |
| Part VI General | | Explanation:| The Board of Directors reviewed the CEOs compensation for the tax year. The review process included deliberation by independent board members who had no conflict of interest. |
| Part VII General | | Explanation:| Part VII Section A Column D reports compensation for the calendar year ending within the organizations tax year calendar 2024 as required by IRS instructions. Part IX Line 5 reports compensation for the organizations fiscal year November 1 2024 October 31 2025. Because these time periods differ the same individual may appear at different amounts in the two sections. This is consistent with IRS instructions for non-calendar-year filers. |
