Additional Explanations

Family or Business Relationships

Form 990, part vi, section a, line 2 john and jack buck have a familial and business relationship. Form 990 review process form 990, part vi, section b, line 11b a national public accounting firm prepares the form 990 and presents it to the board's finance committee. The finance committee distributes an electronic draft to members of the board for review and approval before it is filed with the irs. Process for determining compensation form 990, part vi section b, line 15a and 15b empower illinois has worked with professional recruiters and staffing firms, in addition to internally managed search processes, to fill key positions within the organization in the past fiscal year. Empower illinois staff relied on the professional review and recommendation of employment professionals regarding the scope and appropriateness of position descriptions and employment requirements, as well as the comparable salary ranges relative to the market (e.g., location, size of organization, scope of work and professional responsibilities, etc.). Empower illinois is also part of a national network of education-related non-profit organizations (pie network: policy innovators in education network) that conducts and disseminates the results from an annual hr and compensation survey.

How documents are made available to the public form 990, part vi, section c, line 19 documents are made available upon written request.

Financial Statement Notes

Fin 48 Footnote

Schedule d, part x, line 2 the organization is exempt from income taxes under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code. However, exempt organizations may be subject to income tax on any unrelated business income. The fasb has issued guidance that requires the tax effects from uncertain tax positions to be recognized in the financial statements only if the position is more likely than not to be sustained if the position were to be challenged by a taxing authority. Management has determined that there are no material uncertain positions that require recognition in the consolidated financial statements. Additionally, no provision for income taxes is reflected in these financial statements, and there is no interest or penalties recognized in the statements of activities or statements of financial position.
