GIRLSTART'S ENDOWMENT IS HELD ON BEHALF OF THE ORGANIZATION BY THE AUSTIN COMMUNITY FOUNDATION. THE ENDOWMENT WAS ESTABLISHED IN ORDER TO BUILD FUTURE RESOURCES THAT WILL SUPPORT GIRLSTART'S PROGRAMMING. Part X : FIN48 Footnote The Organization is exempt from federal income taxes under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Service Code (IRC) and has not been classified as a private foundation as defined in the IRC. Income generated from activities unrelated to the Organizations exempt purposes is subject to tax under IRA Section 511. The Organization had no unrelated business income for the year ended December 31, 2023. Accordingly, no provision has been made for federal income tax in the accompanying financial statements.GAAP requires the evaluation of tax positions taken in the course of preparing the Organizations tax return and recognition of a tax liability (or asset) if the Organization has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the Internal Revenue Service. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Organization, and has concluded that as of December 31, 2023, there are no uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability (or asset) or disclosure in the financial statements. false FUNDRAISER 106334 67715 38619 350 38619 100 6146 106334 67715 38619 350 38619 100 6146 45215 -6596 X false false false false false false false false false SHANE WOODS Executive Dir. 153750 1545 10126 165421 X 1436 FMV X 9048 FMV X LAPTOPS 1 56070 FMV X TECHNOLOGY 4 63469 FMV X GIFT CARDS 3 478 FMV false false false Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b BOARD MEMBERS ARE PROVIDED A COPY OF THE FORM 990 PRIOR TO ITS FILING.
