Financial Statement Notes

Part X, Line 2:

IOLA Foundation is exempt from taxation under Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3) and California Revenue and Taxation Code Section 23701d. Generally accepted accounting principles provide accounting and disclosure guidance about positions taken by an organization in its tax returns that might be uncertain. Management has considered its tax positions and believes that all of the positions taken by IOLA Foundation in its federal and state exempt organization tax returns are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination. IOLA Foundation's returns are subject to examination by federal and state taxing authorities, generally for three and four years, respectively, after they are filed.

IRS990/Desc0Media Program: The It Gets Better Project works in all forms of media to bring messages of hope to LGBTQ+ youth and to spark conversations about the challenges they confront. The It Gets Better Project's online video collection and social media platforms are at the center of its global messaging and outreach to youth. Every video offers a unique perspective, but the core message in each is the same: telling LGBTQ+ youth that, whatever their circumstances, it gets better. This simple message has attracted over one million social media followers from around the world - a number that continues to grow every month. In 2018, It Gets Better stories were viewed 5.9 million times, with a total of 3.9 million minutes watched through social outlets like YouTube and Facebook. Popular stories of the year included Hayley Kiyoko, PJ Simmons and Noah Aberlin, Ben J Pierce, Nikita Dragun, Manny MUA, Alexis G. Zall, Joey Graceffa, Kingsley, Peppermint, Jiggly Caliente, Yuhua Hamasaki, Eureka O'Hara, Jonathan Fernandez, Thalia Almodovar, Vee Reyes, AD Diggs, Moniece Slaughter, DJ GRiZ, Ryan Jamaal Swain, Bo Burnham, Elsie Fisher, Alyson Stoner - and many, many more, which can be seen at ItGetsBetter.org.The It Gets Better Project's new education program, It Gets Better EDU, which converts popular It Gets Better media content into guides designed to help facilitate discussions about the LGBTQ+ experience in the classroom, received a generous grant from Los Angeles County's 3rd District Supervisor Sheila Kuehl to enhance the program's reach in Los Angeles. More than 1,000 students around the world participated in It Gets Better EDU programming. And, more than 500 educators received training on how to leverage It Gets Better content in the classroom to facilitate discussions around issues impacting the LGBTQ+ community.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0In addition to its foundation in the United States, the It Gets Better Project now supports a growing network of 20 international affiliates: Argentina, Austria, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Greece, India, Italy, Mexico, Moldova, Paraguay, Peru, Portugal, Russia, Spain, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. Each affiliate uses the power of the It Gets Better message in its own unique way to facilitate positive change for LGBTQ+ youth - while always keeping the power of storytelling front and center. Through coordinated efforts both domestic and overseas, working alongside its affiliates, the It Gets Better Project is able to bring the expertise of established organizations into regions where resources for LGBTQ+ youth are scarce.The It Gets Better Project offers its affiliates continuing education opportunities in the form of two, regional summits. In 2018, the Project returned to western Europe for its second annual EuroSummit in Gothenburg, Sweden, and it launched its first LatAm Summit in Bogota, Colombia for affiliates in Latin America. These summits are opportunities for members of the It Gets Better Project's Global Affiliate Network to connect, discuss global issues impacting LGBTQ+ young people, and learn new strategies to improve outcomes in their markets.The It Gets Better Project also presents an annual, competitive grant opportunity for the It Gets Better Global Affiliate Network. The opportunity provides much-needed financial support to It Gets Better efforts abroad, in addition to helping affiliates prepare for other grant opportunities outside of the It Gets Better family. This year, eight organizations in seven countries received It Gets Better grants.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0Community Engagement Program: The It Gets Better Project participates in Pride events, LGBTQ+ conferences, and a range of other activities around the world to interact directly with LGBTQ+ young people and hear from them about the issues they feel are most important to them. The It Gets Better Project then identifies existing resources or collaborates with partners to develop new resources to address these needs.Through this collaborative approach, the It Gets Better Project has improved the visibility of well-established organizations that provide services for LGBTQ+ youth. It has also generated opportunities to focus on emerging issues ranging from the participation of LGBTQ+ youth in recreational and professional sports to transgender health and wellness. The It Gets Better Project acts as a bridge for LGBTQ+ youth to connect with the community that cares so deeply about them, and it uses the power of collaboration to share positive messages of hope and resiliency.Representatives from the It Gets Better Project were invited to present at multiple events throughout the year, including Models of Pride, the Los Angeles LGBT Center's annual youth conference; EF Summits in New York and Berlin, which cater to youth audiences interested in creating positive change in the world; Workplace by Facebook's inaugural FLOW summit in San Jose; South by Southwest (SXSW) Music Festival and its education-focused predecessor SXSW Edu; El Camino Real Charter and Eagle Rock High Schools, and Van Nuys/Valley Pride in Los Angeles county; Camp Brave Trails, a popular day camp for LGBTQ+ youth in San Bernardino; and Time to Thrive, the Human Rights Campaign's annual conference for educators.

IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0IOLA Foundation is exempt from taxation under Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3) and California Revenue and Taxation Code Section 23701d. Generally accepted accounting principles provide accounting and disclosure guidance about positions taken by an organization in its tax returns that might be uncertain. Management has considered its tax positions and believes that all of the positions taken by IOLA Foundation in its federal and state exempt organization tax returns are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination. IOLA Foundation's returns are subject to examination by federal and state taxing authorities, generally for three and four years, respectively, after they are filed.

IRS990ScheduleF/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0The It Gets Better Project presents an annual request for proposals, which is extended primarily to Global Affiliates of the It Gets Better Project. Global Affiliates of the It Gets Better Project have already been vetted for legitimacy via a stringent review process inclusive of approvals from the Board of Directors; however, in special circumstances, the It Gets Better Project has provided grant opportunities outside the Global Affiliate Network on a case-by-case basis. All grants are approved by the It Gets Better Project's Board of Directors, and all grantees are expected to provide a report of results within one year of receiving an It Gets Better Project grant based on deliverables outlined in a signed agreement between the grantee and the It Gets Better Project. The It Gets Better Project maintains contact with grantees throughout the grant cycle to ensure the expenditures outlined in grant proposals are being followed as projected.
