“There were no changes from the prior year.”

Financial Statement Notes

Part X, Line 2:

“The Charlemagne Institute is exempt from federal and Minesota taxation pursuant to the provisions of Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and Section 290.05 of the Minnesota Statutes and is only subject to federal and state income taxes on net unrelated business income. Since the Organization had minimal unrelated business taxable income in December 31, 2019 snd 2018, the accompanying financial statements do no include any provision for federal or state income taxes. The Organization has not been audited by a tax authority, and accordingly the informational tax returns for the past three years are open to examination. Management has evaluated its tax positions and has concluded that they do not result in anything that would require either recording or disclosure in the financial statements based on the creiteria set forth in ASC 740.”

Part XI, Line 4B - Other Adjustments:

IRS990/Desc0Intellectual Takeout is a website and social media network that promotes rational discourse while rooting readers in the best of the Western Tradition. The site posts a daily series of intelligent, original articles related to the political, economic, and cultural underpinnings of American society through the philosophical lens of Western Civilization. Each year, Intellectual Takeout publishes approximately 1,300 articles, which are viewed by 10 million unique readers. Via social media, its content is viewed roughly 150 million times a year. In all its publications, including Intellectual Takeout, Charlemagne Institute draws a clear line between our editorial decisions and our donors and board members. While donors often direct where their financial support goes (such as to internship programs or public lectures), they do not interfere with the writing and publishing of our content.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0The Alcuin Internship is an intensive, intellectual and professional training program for a group of elite college students and recent graduates. Hosted by Charlemagne Institute each summer, the Alcuin Internship deepens participants' understanding of the history of Western Civilization and the modern Conservative movement while preparing them for lives of work and service. The 10-week internship begins with a week-long "Intellectual Bootcamp," followed by weekly seminars with thought-leaders from around the country, discussing topics like virtue, the history of conservativism, the roots of the Western intellectual tradition, and Christianity's role in shaping the West. Additionally, the Alcuin Internship provides professional mentorship in writing for a diverse audience, business etiquette, networking, and growth opportunities in support of a national nonprofit.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0Chronicles: A Magazine of American Culture has been a stronghold of intelligent, conservative discourse on Western and American culture since 1977. Through a website and monthly magazine, Chronicles examines and analyzes current events from the perspectives of history, theology, literature, and philosophy. Influencing the influential, over a third of its 7,000 subscribers hold advanced degrees. Its readership includes novelists, filmmakers, university professors, teachers, homeschooling mothers, captains of industry, government researchers, journalists, bishops, and politicians. Charlemagne Institute became the publisher of Chronicles on December 31, 2018 when the Rockford Institute, Chronicles original publisher, dissolved and all its assets were assumed by Charlemagne Institute. In all its publications, including Chronicles, Charlemagne Institute draws a clear line between our editorial decisions and our donors and board members. While donors often direct where their financial support goes (such as to internship programs or public lectures), they do not interfere with the writing and publishing of our content.
