FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of PENCIL Foundation (“PENCIL”), a Tennessee not-
for-profit corporation, which comprise the statements of financial position as of June 30, 2020 and 2019, and the
related statements of activities, functional expenses and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes
to the financial statements.
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design,
implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial
statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
AUDITOR’S RESPONSIBILITY
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our
audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the
risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk
assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the
financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the
purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no
such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the
reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit
opinion.

PENCIL FOUNDATION
NOTE 1 - GENERAL
Basis of Presentation
The financial statements of PENCIL have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles (“GAAP”), which require PENCIL to report information regarding its
financial position and activities according to the following net asset classifications:
Net assets without donor restrictions: Net assets that are not subject to donor-imposed
restrictions and may be expended for any purpose in performing the primary objectives of the
organization. These net assets may be used at the discretion of PENCIL’s management and
the Board of Directors.
Net assets with donor restrictions: Net assets subject to stipulations imposed by donors, and
grantors. Some donor restrictions are temporary in nature; those restrictions will be met by
actions of PENCIL or by the passage of time. There are currently no donor restrictions that
are perpetual in nature.
PENCIL reports contributions restricted by donors as increases in net assets without donor
restrictions if the restrictions expire (that is, when a stipulated time restriction ends or
purpose restriction is accomplished) in the reporting period in which the revenue is
recognized. All other donor-restricted contributions are reported as increases in net assets
with donor restrictions, depending on the nature of the restrictions. When a restriction
expires, net assets with donor restrictions are reclassified to net assets without donor
restrictions and reported in the statements of activities as net assets released from restrictions.
Revenue Recognition
-7-
PENCIL FOUNDATION
Government grants and contracts - A portion of PENCIL’s revenue is derived from cost-
reimbursable grants and contracts, which are conditioned upon certain performance requirements
and/or the incurrence of allowable qualifying expenses. Amounts received are recognized as
revenue when PENCIL has incurred expenditures in compliance with specific contract or grant
provisions. Amounts received in advance of the expenditure are recorded as deferred revenue.
Additionally, certain grants qualify as exchange transactions. PENCIL recognizes grant revenue
for exchange transactions at the time the services are provided.
In-kind contributions - PENCIL reports any gifts of property, equipment, or materials at the
estimated fair value at the date of gift as support without donor restrictions unless explicit donor
restrictions specify how the assets must be used. Gifts of long-lived assets with explicit
restrictions as to how the assets are to be used or funds restricted for the acquisition of long-lived
assets are reported as support with donor restrictions. Expirations of donor restrictions are
recognized when the donated or acquired long-lived assets are placed in service. Donated services
are recognized if they create or enhance non-financial assets, or the donated service requires
specialized skills, were performed by a donor who possesses such skills, and would have been
purchased by PENCIL if not donated. Such services are recognized at fair value as support and
expense in the period the services are performed.
Special events - Special event revenue is generated from sponsorships, ticket sales and sale of
auction items at events held during the year and are recognized when the events occur, which is
when PENCIL completes its performance obligation.
Consulting and fiscal services - Consulting revenue is generated from services provided to
communities across the nation that are interested in building a network of strong partnerships
within their school district, as well as for accounting services provided to another organization.
PENCIL recognizes revenue at the time the services are provided, which is when PENCIL’s
performance obligation is fulfilled.
Donated services
A substantial number of unpaid volunteers have made contributions of their time to serve as
tutors, mentors, teacher supply store volunteers and in other capacities in order to serve Nashville
public school students. The total value of time contributed by these volunteers for the year ended
June 30, 2020 has been estimated to be approximately $1,363,780 ($2,557,000 for the year ended
June 30, 2019). This amount has not been recorded in the accompanying financial statements as it
does not meet GAAP recognition criteria.
Other individuals volunteer their time and perform a variety of tasks that assist PENCIL with
other program services and fundraising events. No amounts have been reflected in the financial
statements for volunteer time since these donated services do not meet the criteria for recognition
under GAAP.

PENCIL FOUNDATION
PENCIL considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less
to be cash equivalents.
Contributions Receivable
Unconditional contributions receivable that are expected to be collected within one year are
recorded at their net realizable value. Unconditional contributions receivable that are expected to
be collected in future years are recorded at the present value of estimated future cash flows. The
discount on those amounts is computed using a risk-free interest rate applicable to the year in
which the promise is received. Conditional promises to give are not included as support until such
time as the conditions are substantially met.
Inventory
Inventory consists of donated school supplies received primarily from school supply drives and
supply distributors. Inventory is recorded at its estimated fair value at the time the goods are
received from the donor. Provision is made to reduce any excess, obsolete or slow-moving
inventory to net realizable value.
Investments
Investments consist of money market funds, certificates of deposit, bonds, mutual funds, equities
and exchange traded funds. Money market funds and certificates of deposit are carried at cash
value plus accrued interest. Bonds, mutual funds, equities and exchange traded funds are carried at
their quoted market value on the last business day of the reporting period. Interest and dividends,
as well as changes in unrealized gains and losses are recognized currently in the statement of
activities.
PENCIL has invested in certificates of deposit with a financial institution with maturities ranging
from fiscal year 2021 to 2023. These certificates of deposits have an average yield of 2.31% as of
June 30, 2020 (2.54% as of June 30, 2019).
PENCIL’s beneficial interest in an agency endowment fund held by the Community Foundation of
Middle Tennessee (“CFMT”) is recognized as an asset. Investment income and changes in the
value of the fund are recognized in the statement of activities, and distributions received from the
fund are recorded as increases (decreases) in the beneficial interest.

PENCIL FOUNDATION
Property and equipment are recorded at cost at the date of purchase, or at estimated fair value at
the date of gift. Depreciation expense is calculated using the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives of the assets, except for leasehold improvements, which are depreciated
over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the expected lease term.
PENCIL classifies its assets based on a hierarchy consisting of: Level 1 (valued using quoted
prices from active markets for identical assets), Level 2 (not traded on an active market but for
which observable market inputs are readily available), and Level 3 (valued based on significant
unobservable inputs).
An asset’s or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on
the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation
techniques used maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable
inputs.
Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value on a
recurring basis.
Investments - Mutual funds, equities and exchange traded funds are classified within Level 1 where
quoted market prices are available in an active market for identical assets. If quoted market prices
are unavailable, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices of investments with similar
characteristics, and the investments are classified within Level 2. Bonds are valued on the basis of
information provided by pricing services that employ valuation matrices that may incorporate both
broker/dealer-supplied valuations as well as valuation models reflecting factors such as benchmark
yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, bid/offer data and other relevant elements, and are
classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy
Beneficial interest in agency endowment fund held by the Community Foundation of Middle
Tennessee - The agency endowment fund held at the CFMT represents PENCIL’s interest in pooled
investments with other participants in the funds. The CFMT prepares a valuation of the fund based
on the fair value of the underlying investments using quoted market prices and allocates income or
loss to each participant based on market results. PENCIL reflects this asset within Level 2 of the
valuation hierarchy.
There have been no changes in the valuation methodologies used at June 30, 2020 or 2019.
The methods described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net
realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while PENCIL believes its valuation
methodologies are appropriate and consistent with that of other market participants, the use of
different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments
could result in different fair value measurements at the reporting date.

PENCIL FOUNDATION
Income Taxes
PENCIL qualifies as a not-for-profit organization exempt from federal income taxes under Section
501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, income taxes are not provided.
Management performs an evaluation of all income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in
the course of preparing PENCIL’s income tax returns to determine whether the income tax
positions meet a “more likely than not” standard of being sustained under examination by the
applicable taxing authorities. Management has performed its evaluation of all income tax positions
taken on all open income tax returns and has determined that there were no positions taken that do
not meet the “more likely than not” standard. Accordingly, there are no provisions for income
taxes, penalties or interest receivable or payable relating to uncertain income tax positions in the
accompanying financial statements.
The following program and supporting services are included in the accompanying financial
statements:
Program Services
PENCIL Partners and PENCIL Academy Partners are businesses and organizations
committed to student success through organized, coordinated activities that match the unique
attributes of each Partner with the specific needs of each school or academy. Schools turn to
us and our wide network of business contacts to help them find Partners that are a good
match for their school. Businesses and organizations turn to us and our comprehensive
knowledge of Nashville Public Schools when they want to connect with a school where they
can help students. PENCIL also serves as the coordinator of these ongoing Partnership
relationships. We facilitate communication, provide activity ideas, advise on volunteer
management and help the school and Partner develop a year-long strategic plan. In addition,
PENCIL hosts the PENCILMeIn.org website where schools, Partners and individuals log
their volunteer hours and in-kind gifts.
PENCIL’s Family Resource Centers (“FRCs”) act as a hub for community resources, helping
families navigate outside agencies that can assist with social, emotional and physical needs.
FRCs stock emergency food/clothing and develop services tailored to their school population,
such as GED and English-language classes, parenting classes, eye exams and glasses,
individual counseling and student leadership groups.
The LP PENCIL Box makes sure students have the school supplies necessary for success in
the classroom - and that teachers do not have to spend their own money to buy those supplies.
Through generous donations from businesses, organizations and individuals, the Box is
stocked with school supplies such as pencils, pens, notebooks, crayons, scissors, reading
books, backpacks and much more. Every Metro teacher can make four shopping trips per
school year for free supplies.

Supporting Services
Management and General relates to the overall direction of PENCIL. These expenses are not
identifiable with a particular program or event, or with fundraising, but are indispensable to
the conduct of those activities and are essential to PENCIL. Specific activities include
organization oversight, business management, recordkeeping, budgeting, financing and other
administrative activities.
Fundraising includes costs of activities directed toward appeals for financial support,
including special events. Other activities include the creation and distribution of f undraising
materials.
The costs of program and supporting service activities have been summarized on a functional
basis in the statements of activities. The statements of functional expenses presents the natural
classification detail of expenses by function. Expenses that can be directly attributed to a
particular function are charged to that function. Certain costs have been allocated among the
programs and supporting services benefited. The expenses that are allocated include personnel,
equipment, travel, professional services, supplies, facility expenses, occupancy, communications,
commercial insurance, staff development and community events, donor cultivation, event
expenses, fees and bank charges which are allocated on the basis of estimates of time and effort.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure
of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts
of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

PENCIL FOUNDATION
On July 1, 2019, PENCIL adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from
Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) and all subsequent amendments to the ASU (collectively,
“ASC 606”), which supersedes most existing revenue recognition guidance and outlines a single
comprehensive standard for revenue recognition across all industries. ASC 606 requires revenue
to be recognized in an amount that reflects the considerations to which the entity expects to be
entitled in an exchange of goods or services. PENCIL adopted ASC 606 using the modified
retrospective method applied to all contracts not completed as of July 1, 2019. PENCIL performed
an analysis of revenue streams and transactions to determine in-scope applicability. The revenue
streams considered in-scope for purposes of ASC 606 include certain grant revenues and most
revenues associated with performance of special events (sponsorships, ticket sales and sales of
items). PENCIL recognizes revenues that fall within the scope of ASC 606 as it satisfies its
obligation to the customer. The adoption of ASC 606 did not result in a material change to the
accounting for any of the in-scope revenue streams; as such, PENCIL did not record a cumulative
effect adjustment.
On July 1, 2019, PENCIL adopted ASU 2018-08, Clarifying the Scope and the Accounting
Guidance for Contributions Received and Contributions Made (Topic 605). This guidance is
intended to clarify and improve the scope and the accounting guidance for contributions received
and contributions made. Key provisions in this guidance include clarification regarding the
accounting for grants and contracts as exchange transactions or contributions and improve
guidance to better distinguish between conditional and unconditional contributions. This standard
did not result in a change to the financial statements or the timing of revenue recognition for
PENCIL's contributions and grants.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The guidance in this ASU
supersedes the leasing guidance in Topic 840, Leases. Under the new guidance, lessees are
required to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for all leases with terms
longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification
affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the statement of activities. In June 2020, in
response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the FASB issued ASU 2020-05, allowing certain entities to
defer implementation of ASU 2016-02 for an additional year. As a result, the standard will now be
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. PENCIL is currently evaluating the
impact of the pending adoption of the new standard on the financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820):
Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement,
which modifies the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements by removing, modifying,
or adding certain disclosures. ASU 2018-13 is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2019. PENCIL is currently evaluating the impact of this new standard on its
financial statements.

PENCIL has evaluated events and transactions that occurred between June 30, 2020 and
October 22, 2020, the date the financial statements were available to be issued, for possible
recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in prior year financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current
year’s presentation. Such reclassifications had no effect on the results of operations or net assets
as previously reported.
The following reflects PENCIL’s financial assets as of June 30, 2020 and 2019, reduced by
amounts not available for general use within one year of the statement of financial position date
because of donor-imposed restrictions. Amounts not available include amounts set aside by the
Board of Directors that could be drawn upon if the governing board approves that action.

PENCIL has a $100,000 revolving line of credit maturing in November 2020. Interest is payable
monthly at a variable rate of Prime + 1.00% (4.25% at June 30, 2020), with the outstanding
principal balance payable at maturity. The line is secured by PENCIL’s investments. As of
June 30, 2020 and 2019, there was an outstanding balance of $0 under this line of credit.
On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act was
signed into law. The CARES Act provides an economic relief package to many businesses in the
U.S. as a direct response to the adverse impacts of COVID-19. Section 1102 of CARES Act
establishes the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), which is implemented by the Small
Business Administration, and is intended to provide small businesses (generally those with 500 or
less employees) with funds to pay up to 24 weeks of payroll costs and benefits, interest on
mortgages, rent and utilities. The funds are available in the form of a loan which is fully
forgivable if at least 60% of the funds are used for payroll costs. Any unforgiven funds will
convert to a note with a 1.0% interest rate and payable over 24 months. On April 30, 2020,
PENCIL received $222,915 from a PPP loan and it is management’s intention to have the loan
fully forgiven based upon preliminary estimation of the forgiveness calculation. As of the date
these financial statements were available to be issued, the amount of loan forgiveness has not been
determined. PENCIL has elected to record the portion of the note forgiven as revenue once the
forgiveness amount is determined. Annual principal maturities under the note are as follows:
$ 222,915
NOTE 11 - LEASES
PENCIL leases certain office equipment under non-cancelable operating leases which expire at
various dates through August 2021. During 2016, PENCIL entered into a new office equipment
lease for which the lessor advanced PENCIL funds to offset future payments required under an
existing lease agreement for similar equipment. The funds received from the lessor are recorded as
a liability on PENCIL’s books which will be reduced as payments are made over the remainder of
the original lease term. The remaining liability as of June 30, 2020 was $0 ($3,840 as of June 30,
2019).

PENCIL FOUNDATION
PENCIL receives rent-free office and warehouse space under a lease that expires in October 2022.
Either party may terminate the lease upon 90 days advance written notice. The estimated fair
market value of the space is $7,817 per month in 2020 ($6,000 per month in fiscal year ended
2019) and is recorded as an in-kind contribution. During 2020, PENCIL received a new
calculation of the square footage of the space being leased, which was more than originally
thought, therefore PENCIL increased the fair value of the space recorded.
In June 2020, PENCIL entered into a restated lease agreement extending the cancellable lease
through October 2027. Subsequently, PENCIL began utilizing the entire building.
Lease expense paid for all operating leases was $11,832 for the year ended June 30, 2020
($11,832 for the year ended June 30, 2019).
A summary of future minimum lease payments for equipment as of June 30, 2020, follows:

PENCIL FOUNDATION
Net assets with donor restrictions consisted of the following at June 30:
2020 2019
$ 372,151 $ 268,831
PENCIL sponsors a Section 401(k) defined contribution plan for the benefit of eligible employees.
The plan provides for PENCIL to make a matching contribution for each employee deferral
contribution, subject to limitations. Total contributions by PENCIL to the plan amounted to
$16,676 in 2020 ($14,977 in 2019).
Financial instruments that potentially subject PENCIL to concentrations of credit risk consist
principally of cash and cash equivalents, and various contributions, grants, contracts and related
receivables. PENCIL maintains cash and cash equivalents and investments in certificates of
deposit at reputable financial institutions insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
(“FDIC”) up to statutory limits. PENCIL’s balances may, at times, exceed statutory limits.
PENCIL has not experienced any losses in these accounts and management considers this to be a
normal business risk.
Contributions received from one source totaled approximately $129,500, or 13%, of total
contribution revenue received for the year ended June 30, 2020. There were no contribution
concentrations for the year ended June 30, 2019.

On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the coronavirus outbreak a “Public
Health Emergency of International Concern” and on March 10, 2020, declared it to be a pandemic.
Actions taken around the world to help mitigate the spread of the coronavirus included restrictions
on travel, quarantines in certain areas and forced closures for certain types of public places and
businesses. The coronavirus and actions taken to mitigate it have had and are expected to continue to
have an adverse impact on the economies and financial markets of many countries including the
geographical area in which PENCIL operates. While it is unknown how long these conditions will
last and what the complete financial effect will be to PENCIL, management is continuing to
evaluate the evolving situation and will implement appropriate countermeasures as needed.
