Mentoring program - true freedom conducts a mentoring class every month at grafton correctional institution. This program helps to prepare our clients for reentry as inmates are assigned a mentor while incarcerated and once released. 1,920 inmates attended in 2017.

Financial Statement Notes

Schedule D, Page 3, Part X

The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with the modified cash basis of accounting, requires the ministry to report information regarding its exposure to various tax positions taken by the ministry. The ministry has determined whether any tax positions have met the recognition threshold and has measured the ministry's exposure to those tax positions. Management believes that the ministry has adequately addressed all relevant tax positions and that there are no unrecorded tax liabilities. Federal and state tax authorities generally have the right to examine and audit the previous three years of tax returns filed. If incurred, the ministry records tax related penalties and interest as administrative costs in the accompanying statements of activities and functional expenses. However, the ministry incurred no tax related penalties or interest for the year ending december 31, 2017.
