The accounting standard on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under that guidance, the Organization may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. Examples of tax positions include the tax-exempt status of the Organization and various positions related to the potential sources of unrelated business taxable income (UBIT). The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. There were no unrecognized tax benefits identified or recorded as liabilities at June 30, 2023. false AUTHORS on the move 242506 242506 78765 Literacy Summit 24961 24961 267467 267467 78765 78765 188702 true escape Velocity 2251 florin Rd Ste 113 sacramento CA 95822 812836404 8100 0 Sacramento Chinese Community 420 I Street Ste 5 sacramento CA 95814 942581434 16000 0 cash Teach for America 3400 3rd Avenue Sacramento CA 95817 133541913 20000 0 Cash Literacy United Way CA Capital Region 10389 Old Placerville Road Sacramento CA 95827 20000 0 cash 3 1 Grantmaker's Description of How Grants are Used The Foundation's procedure is as follows: Funds are given in advance for specific project requests from community organizations. A visit is conducted during the program and grantees send project-end reports. Donated funds are given to the community organizations with an accompanying memo detailing the gift designation. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b The Audit Committee shall have the responsibility for reviewing the organization's Form 990 (including all pertinent Schedules) before it is filed with the Internal Revenue Service.In conducting their review of the draft of the Form 990, it is preferred that the Audit Committee shall conduct a top-level or big-picture type of review. However, if the Audit Committee desires or deems it necessary to conduct a more detailed review of the Form 990, then they should contact the preparer of the Form 990 to request copies of the relevant detailed tax return workpapers which they would like to see.Once the Audit Committee has completed its initial review of the Form 990, a meeting or conference call will be scheduled with the preparer of the Form 990 (regardless of whether the Form 990 is externally or internally prepared) to discuss any questions, comments, and suggested revisions identified by the Audit Committee.The preparer of the Form 990 should make any revisions to the Form 990 as soon as feasibly possible to ensure that the Form 990 is filed with the Internal Revenue Service on a timely basis.All of the questions, comments, and suggested revisions set forth by the Audit Committee should be documented, along with any responses from the preparer of the Form 990, if applicable.After the Form 990 has been reviewed by the Audit Committee and filed with the Internal Revenue Service, the Audit Committee will make a presentation at the next full Board of Directors meeting to update the full Board regarding its review of the Form 990. At this meeting with the full Board of Directors, it is not required for the Audit Committee to review all of their questions, comments, and suggested revisions; a summary of their more important points will be sufficient. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c When conflicts arise, the board addresses the conflicts and if necessary votes to take action so that no conflict remains. Employees are protected under the fraud policy in the employee manual and are encouraged to bring conflicts to the board. If a conflict of interest is found to exist, the governing board will discuss and vote on the transaction or arrangement involving the possible conflict of interest. The person with the conflict is required to leave the board meeting during this discussion and vote. After exercising due diligence, the governing board will determine whether the Organization can obtain with reasonable efforts a more advantageous transaction or arrangement from a person or entity that would not give rise to a conflict of interest. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15b The board reviews comparability studies and deliberates on performance to determine salary of Executive Director. Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19 Governing documents, policies and financial statements are available upon request at the Foundation's office and at times available on the Organization's website. Amended Explanation The Organization amended its Form 990 to reflect the proper Executive Director compensation.
