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/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0In addition to its foundation in the United States, the It Gets Better Project supports a global network of 18 affiliates representing Argentina, Austria, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Dominican Republic, Greece, Guatemala, Hungary, India, Mexico, Paraguay, Peru, Portugal, Russia, Spain, 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 font and center. Through coordinated efforts both domestically 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 global summits. In 2020, the It Gets Better Project hosted a virtual Summit for 135 young activists from within the It Gets Better Global Affiliate Network, providing 27 hours of content, made possible by 80+ speakers, panelists, and other subject matter experts, to support personal and professional relationship development, the exchange of information about the global LGBTQ+ movement, and the acquisition of new skills to further the It Gets Better movement abroad. The It Gets Better Project also presents an annual, competitive grant opportunity for members of the It Gets Better Global Affiliate Network. The opportunity provides much-needed financial support to It Gets Better efforts around the world, in addition to helping affiliates prepare for other grant opportunities outside of the It Gets Better family. This year, four organizations, representing Canada, Greece, Mexico, and the United Kingdom, received It Gets Better grants.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0The It Gets Better Project's education program, It Gets Better EDU, converts popular It Gets Better media content into guides designed to help facilitate discussion about the LGBTQ+ experience in the classroom. Six new EduGuides were released in 2019, including two translations into Spanish and Portuguese. Thousands of educational materials were downloaded from ItGetsBetter.org by educators throughout 2020 to reach nearly 50,000 students grappling with the challenges of remote learning.The It Gets Better Project welcomed its first Youth Voices cohort during Pride season. These exceptional young people have partnered with the It Gets Better Project to offer their unique stories and words of advice to other LGBTQ+ youth around the globe. They are students, artists, and activists who are working to change their communities for the better and who have exceptionally empowering insights to offer to their LGBTQ+ peers.

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.
