Financial Statement Notes

X 2

“The Organization is exempt from federal and state income taxes on its related activities under Internal Revenue Service Code Section 501c3. Accordingly, no provision for federal and state income taxes has been made. The Organization files the required federal and state information returns. Whenever tax returns are filed, the filing organization must evaluate the merits of its tax positions and determine if they will be ultimately sustained. Those tax positions for the Organization include maintaining their tax-exempt status and the taxability of any unrelated business income. The Organization believes these positions are sustainable. Although the Organization has not incurred any interest and penalties associated with these positions, it is their policy to expense them in the statement of activities. With few exceptions, the Organization is generally no longer subject to examination by taxing authorities for years before June 30, 2021.”

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0Voices from the Dwelling was a series of creative writing workshops, which culminated in community wide engagements. Authoring Action and The Dwelling partnership produced Creative Writing Workshops and Community Wide Engagements that amplifies the voices of Winston Salems unhoused and housing insecure. Through a series of Authoring Action Creative Writing workshops and with support of local collaborating musicians, authors from The Dwelling have written monologues, poems, stories, and songs that give a glimpse into the full personhood of people living on the margins of our community. Their stories challenge the stereotypes that exist about people experiencing homelessness, and name the realities of the broken systems that may unwittingly contribute to the oppressive qualities of homelessness, individually, culturally and systemically. We also provide writing workshops in program partnership with Senior Services through the Intergenerational Center for Arts and Wellness. Keys for Kids, founded by Ben Folds, provides free keyboard classes to children and youth.

IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0The Organization is exempt from federal and state income taxes on its related activities under Internal Revenue Service Code Section 501c3. Accordingly, no provision for federal and state income taxes has been made. The Organization files the required federal and state information returns. Whenever tax returns are filed, the filing organization must evaluate the merits of its tax positions and determine if they will be ultimately sustained. Those tax positions for the Organization include maintaining their tax-exempt status and the taxability of any unrelated business income. The Organization believes these positions are sustainable. Although the Organization has not incurred any interest and penalties associated with these positions, it is their policy to expense them in the statement of activities. With few exceptions, the Organization is generally no longer subject to examination by taxing authorities for years before June 30, 2021.
