Supplemental Narrative

Financial Statement Notes

Part X, Line 2:

“Sisyphus Supporting Foundation (the Foundation) is exempt from income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and applicable state law. 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 this guidance, the Foundation 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. 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 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. At June 30, 2014, there were no unrecognized tax benefits identified or recorded as liabilities. The Foundation files Form 990 in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and the State of Illinois. The Foundation is generally no longer subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for years before 2011.”

IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0Sisyphus Supporting Foundation (the Foundation) is exempt from income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and applicable state law. 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 this guidance, the Foundation 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. 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 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. At June 30, 2014, there were no unrecognized tax benefits identified or recorded as liabilities. The Foundation files Form 990 in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and the State of Illinois. The Foundation is generally no longer subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for years before 2011.

IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0Michelle Gittler and Lee Francis have a family relationship.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt1The by-laws stipulate that members of the Foundation are divided into two classes: the donor member and the publicly supported organization member, which is the Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Chicago.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt2The board of directors consists of 6 total persons, 2 of whom are elected by the donor member and 4 of whom are elected by the publicly supported organization member pursuant to its established procedures.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt3The voting members of the governing body reviewed the Form 990 prior to filing with the IRS.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt4A conflict of interest questionnaire is circulated to all board members on an annual basis. This process is managed by the Foundation's Secretary who ensures that all questionnaires are completed. The completed questionnaires are reviewed and any conflicts are disclosed to the board of directors. If a director does have a conflict or business relationship, he or she is required to abstain from any votes related to that matter.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt5Financial statements, conflict of interest policy and governing documents are available upon request for the same period of disclosure as set forth in section 6104(d).
