Mission and Program Overview

Mission

The Surge Institute ("Surge"), is an Illinois not-for-profit corporation that was founded in October 2014 in response to the dearth of leadership of color at the decision-making tables within education reform. Surge provides leadership development resources to institutions and individuals to create a pipeline of diverse leaders in education.

The Surge Institute was established to broadly address the issues of race and class in urban education through leadership development, technical assistance and advocacy.

Supplemental Narrative

Financial Statement Notes

Schedule D, Part X, Line 2

“Surge is a tax-exempt organization under Section 501(c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Surge follows the accounting standard on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, which addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under this guidance, Surge may recognize the tax benefits from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. Examples of tax positions include the tax-exempt status of Surge and various positions related to potential sources of unrelated business taxable income. There were no unrecognized tax benefits identified or recorded as liabilities for the reporting period presented in the financial statements. Surge files Form 990 in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and the State of Illinois.”
