In addition, the Organization has been determined by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) not to be a private foundation within the meaning of section 509(a) of the IRC. The Organization had no unrelated business income during fiscal years 2025 and 2024 and, therefore, no provision for federal or State income taxes has been made in the accompanying financial statements.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. This requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Organizations tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are more likely than not of being sustained when challenged or when examined by the applicable tax authority. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, management has determined that there were no material uncertain tax positions. false CORPORATE LEADERSHIP BREAKFAST 130750 94479 36271 13303 79082 600 7457 130750 94479 36271 13303 79082 600 7457 100442 -64171 false Logan Square Neighborhood A 2840 N MIlwaukee Ave Chicago IL 60618 362638491 10000 0 GEN OPS FOR CCI'S MISSION Northwest Side Community Deve 5233 W Diversey Ave Chicago IL 60639 831979604 10000 0 HONORARIUM PHALANX FAMILY SERVICES 837 W 119TH ST CHICAGO IL 60643 364468891 15000 0 HONORARIUM Southwest Organizing Project 2558 W 63rd St Chicago IL 60629 364090773 10000 0 LEAD AGENCY GRANT & NORTHWEST GRANT Team Englewood 815 W 63rd St Chicago IL 60621 743102944 10000 0 GEN OPS FOR CCI'S MISSION 5 0 X X X false false false false false false false false false ROSIE DRUMGOOLE CEO 154482 6672 10277 171431 X COMPLIMENTARY BREAKFAST 1 78719 COMPLIMENTARY BREAKF Raffle 2955 FMV false false false Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b FORM 990 (AND RELATED SCHEDULES) IS PROVIDED TO ALL BOARD MEMBERS FOR REVIEW PRIOR TO FILING.
