In FY 20/21, StepUp began to generate fee-based income from its job placement division Beyond Talent. Management has determined based on its understanding of Internal Revenue Code Section 513 that the fee-based income should not be treated as unrelated business income subject to taxation. The job placement program exists to provide employment opportunities for its program participants and therefore is substantially related to its mission to empower individuals to reach their potential and lead stable lives through satisfying work. As such, the fees are not unrelated business income.Therefore, the organization has made no provision for income taxes or uncertain tax positions in the financial statements. There are no federal or state tax audits of the organization in progress and StepUp Wilmington believes it is not subject to tax examinations for fiscal years prior to FY 2020/21. false true 0 0 Client Assistance 300 158250 Stipends (gift cards) Grantmaker's Description of How Grants are Used Client provides assistance only to those individuals enrolled in its employment services program.
