“Form 990 is reviewed and approved by the officers before filing.”
“The organization makes its form 990 available for public inspection upon request, on their website and it is also listed on guidestar.”
“The organization makes the governing documents and financial statements available to the public upon request.”
“The process has not changed from the prior year.”
“To support the operations of sights for hope.”
“The organization is exempt from federal income tax under internal revenue code 501(c)(3). The accounting standard 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 benefits 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 for fiscal year 2025. The organization files its 990 with the united states internal revenue service. The organization is generally no longer subject to examination by the internal revenue service for years before 2023.”

| IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 1 | THE ORGANIZATION IS EXEMPT FROM FEDERAL INCOME TAX UNDER INTERNAL REVENUE CODE 501(C)(3). THE ACCOUNTING STANDARD 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 BENEFITS 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 FOR FISCAL YEAR 2025. THE ORGANIZATION FILES ITS 990 WITH THE UNITED STATES INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE. THE ORGANIZATION IS GENERALLY NO LONGER SUBJECT TO EXAMINATION BY THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE FOR YEARS BEFORE 2023. |
