Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11B

“The organization's executive director and accountant work closely with the form 990 preparer in answering all questions on the form as well as providing accurate financial and other infomation for inclusion. A draft of the form is then reviewed by the executive director and accountant prior to finalization. Any changes they determine are required are incorporated into the form prior to issue.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12C

“The conflict of interest statement for neighborspace covers members of the board of directors, staff and officers of neighborspace (covered persons). Determinations of whether a conflict exists are made at the board of directors level. Actual conflicts are reviewed at the board of directors level. No covered person who has an interest in a matter that may involve a conflict of interest shall vote on or otherwise take part in any decision of neighborspace regarding that matter. Whenever a covered person discloses an actual or potential conflict of interest or abstains from voting on a transcation by reason of having a personal interest in the transaction or interest in the organization affected by the transaction, that disclosure and abstention will be recorded in the minutes of the meeting at which the transaction was considered and vote occured.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15

“Upon hiring, the board conducted a salary comparability study. Each year the board reviews key employee performance and uses the results of this review to determine new salary.”

Supplemental Narrative

Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

“The organization has received a determination letter from the internal revenue service which state that is exempt from federal income taxes under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code. Due to its tax-exempt status, the organization is not subject to u.s. Federal of state income taxes and accordingly, no provision has been made for either federal or state income taxes. Managment believes that the organization continues to qualify and to operate as designated. The organization remians liable for taxes on unrelated business income, if any. The organization recognizes the financial statement impact of a tax position when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination. The organization is no longer subject to u.s. Federal state and local income tax examinations by tax authorities for the years before the 2021 tax year. As of and for the year ended december 31, 2024, management has determined there are no uncertain tax positions.”

IRS990/Desc0NEIGHBORSPACE CONTINUES TO ASSIST DOZENS OF BLOCK CLUBS, CHURCH GROUPS AND NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS WHO HAVE SET OUT TO RECLAIM THE UNUSED LOTS IN THEIR COMMUNITIES ACCROSS CHICAGO. OUT OF FIELDS OF WEEDS THEY CREATE ROWS OF VEGETABLES. OUT OF PLACES USED FOR DUMPING GARBAGE THEY CREATE PLACES TO RECONNECT WITH NATURE. UNFORTUNATELY, MANY OF THESE URBAN OASES DISAPPEAR QUICKLY OR ARE LOST FOREVER DUE TO REDEVELOPMENT OR LACK OF RESOURCES. THIS IS WHERE NEIGHBORSPACE COMES IN. AS CHICAGO'S NONPROFIT LAND TRUST FOR COMMUNITY GARDENS THEY ARE HERE TO ENSURE THAT THESE COMMUNITY-DRIVEN EFFORTS ARE NOT FLEETING; THAT THE COMMUNITY'S HARD WORK AND VISION LIVES ON, ESPECIALLY IN THOSE AREAS WITH THE LEAST AMOUNT OF OPEN SPACE. SINCE 1996 NEIGHBORSPACE HAS BEEN ABLE TO PRESERVE OVER 120 NEIGHBORHOOD GARDENS, EACH ONE A UNIQUE EXPRESSION OF THE COMMUNITY THAT CREATED IT. IN 2024 NEIGHBORSPACE WILL CONTINUE TO GROW. THEY ARE WORKING TO PROTECT VISIONARY COMMUNITY GARDEN ACROSS THE CITY, IN SOUTH SHORE, AUSTIN, AVONDALE, LITTLE VILLAGE AND BEYOND.
