Financial Statement Notes

Part X : FIN48 Footnote

“The Organization is exempt from Federal and State income taxes under Section 501c3 of the Internal Revenue Code, therefore, the financial statements do not include a provision for income taxes. The Organization reviews income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns to determine if there are any income tax uncertainties.This includes positions that the entity is exempt from income taxes or not subject to income taxes on unrelated business income. The Organization recognizes tax benefits from uncertain tax positions only if it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the positions. The Organization has identified no significant income tax uncertainties. The Organization files information returns as a tax-exempt organization. Should that status be challenged in the future, all years since inception could be subject to review by the IRS.”

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0Citizens Police Data Project CPDP - CPDP takes records of police interactions with the public - records that would otherwise be buried in internal databases - and opens them up to make the data useful to the public, thereby creating a permanent record for every police officer. The Organization utilizes its CPDP tool to present the underlying police data. In order to maximize the CPDP program coverage and effectiveness, the Organization makes the codebase for the CPDP tool and all underlying datasets plus data processing scripts and FOIA responses available to the public through the Organization's website.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0Youth/Police - This program aims to build conversations with black teens about how their lives are affected by the character of the police presence in their neighborhoods. The program presents how teens describe their interactions with police in their own words, how those encounters make them feel, and how their experiences with the police shape their behavior.

IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0The Organization is exempt from Federal and State income taxes under Section 501c3 of the Internal Revenue Code, therefore, the financial statements do not include a provision for income taxes. The Organization reviews income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns to determine if there are any income tax uncertainties.This includes positions that the entity is exempt from income taxes or not subject to income taxes on unrelated business income. The Organization recognizes tax benefits from uncertain tax positions only if it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the positions. The Organization has identified no significant income tax uncertainties. The Organization files information returns as a tax-exempt organization. Should that status be challenged in the future, all years since inception could be subject to review by the IRS.
