Supplemental Narrative

Financial Statement Notes

Part X : FIN48 Footnote

“The Organization is a not-for-profit organization and is exempt from federal and state income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and Section 23701(d) of the California Revenue and Taxation Code. However, the Organization is subject to income taxes on any net income that is derived from a trade or business, regularly carried on, and not in furtherance of the purposes for which it was granted exemption, commonly referred to as unrelated business income. No income tax provision has been recorded for the year ended December 31, 2023, as management determined that the Organization had no unrelated business income. The Organization is subject to "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes" under Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 740, Income Taxes. ASC 740 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the Organization's tax returns and does not allow recognition of tax positions that do not meet a "more-likely-than-not" threshold of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. The Organization does not believe it has taken any tax positions that would not meet this threshold. The Organization's policy is to reflect interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as part of income tax expense, when and if they become applicable. The Organization's federal and state income tax returns are subject to possible examination by the taxing authorities until the expiration of the related statutes of limitations on those tax returns. In general, federal income tax returns have a three-year statute of limitations, and state income tax returns have a four-year statute of limitations.”

IRS990/Desc0CatchLights Local Program works to build a local news ecosystem that is thriving in communities across the US, where everyone sees themselves represented in their local media, and where social cohesion and trust in our fellow community members is rebuilt. Our approach to this work is three-pronged: We advance trust and representation in local journalism by placing high-quality, community-driven photojournalists in local newsrooms throughout the US; We partner with newsrooms through a collaborative Visual Desk, offering customized visual services, tools, mentorship, and support to strengthen newsrooms capacity to serve as trusted messengers in their communities; We convene the public like-minded people across media, academia, technology, and the arts to foster a robust and inclusive community to deepen critical thought, imagine new ways to leverage visuals for connection, and inspire action. In 2023, CatchLight created nine full-time visual staff positions and supported nine newsrooms with Visual Desk services throughout California. They deepen their reach in California by adding two more ethnic media newsroom partners (El Timpano and El Tecolote) and test expansion into a new geography with Senior Local Fellow, Andrea Bruce, and her Down in the Country news bulletin about Pimlico County, North Carolina. In addition, CatchLight convened over 6,000 community members through programs such as portfolio reviews, workshops, trainings, and networking events.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0The CatchLight Global Fellowship, awards visual storytellers who use visual art to spark new conversations, engage communities, and whose work is poised to be significantly amplified by collaboration, mentorship, and networking, as well as a $30,000 grant. In addition to the award, the Fellowship also provides personal development opportunities and impact strategy and networking support from CatchLight staff and our network of partners.
