Mission and Program Overview

Mission

Issue one is a nonprofit advocacy organization that advances political reforms that strengthen democracy. We unite republicans, democrats, and independents in the movement to increase transparency, strengthen ethics and accountability, reduce the influence of big money in politics, and to protect u.s. Elections. We are dedicated to building a cross partisan movement, educating the public and decision-makers on capitol hill, and passing bipartisan legislation.

Issue one is a nonpartisan organization committed to putting everyday citizens back in control of our democracy by reducing the influence of well-financed special interests over american politics and policy-making. Issue one works to create the political strength, critical mass, public presence, and funding levels necessary to achieve and defend substantive reforms at the state and national levels. We do this by improving public awareness of the issue, recruiting new donors and advocates, and providing funding to support innovative new strategies and programs.

Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

“Issue one accounts for income taxes in accordance with the accounting standards codification (asc) topic income taxes. These provisions provide consistent guidance for the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity's financial statements and prescribe a threshold of "more likely than not" for recognition and derecognition of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The management of issue one performed an evaluation of uncertain tax positions for the period ended june 30, 2016, and determined that there were no matters that would require recognition in the financial statements or that may have an effect on its tax-exempt status. It is the organization's policy to recognize interest and/or penalties related to uncertain tax positions, if any, in unrelated business income tax expense.”
