Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

Form 990, Part III, Line 4D: Other Program Services Description

“OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: Collaborative Futures: Collaborative Futures is the Research and Development Lab of Gisa Group. In 2021, Collaborative Futures focused on doing research about internet freedom, and supported Gisa Group projects to effectively use tools and technology across the organization. 2021 also saw the launch of our dis-information initiative, Al Kashif, which works to build the capacity for civil society to protect itself from dis-information through its unique e-learning curriculum, and a mentorship and small grants program.”

Financial Statement Notes

Part X : FIN48 Footnote

“Generally accepted accounting principles require that a tax position be recognized or derecognized based on a "more likely than not" threshold. This applies to positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on GISA's financial statements, as management believes that there are no uncertain tax positions within its financial statements. GISA has processes presently in place to ensure the maintenance of its tax-exempt status; to identify and report unrelated income; determine its filing and tax obligations in jurisdictions for which it has nexus; and to review other matters that may be considered tax positions.GISA's Form 990, Return of Organization Exempt from Income Tax is subject to examination by the IRS, generally for three years after they were filed.”

IRS990/Desc0Access to Justice: Over the past three years, Sudanese Archive has built Sudans largest human rights database for Sudan with over 700,000 open-source videos, as well as the largest primary visual documentation database from Sudans conflict zones. Data is also used by media partners like the Middle East Eye, BBC, and Al Jazeera. The Sudanese Archive also used the archives to press for justice in legal cases, media reports, research and truth telling. In 2021, our team also collected and archived over one hundred survivor focused oral history testimonies in Darfur, Blue Nile and South Kordofan. Its the first of its kind in Sudan. In 2021, Gisa Group continued to work closely with the group of 20 community organizations, networks and activists working across Sudan - We conducted monitoring and investigations in cooperation with the 20 organizations, as a tool to prevent atrocities and build capacity.

IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0Generally accepted accounting principles require that a tax position be recognized or derecognized based on a "more likely than not" threshold. This applies to positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on GISA's financial statements, as management believes that there are no uncertain tax positions within its financial statements. GISA has processes presently in place to ensure the maintenance of its tax-exempt status; to identify and report unrelated income; determine its filing and tax obligations in jurisdictions for which it has nexus; and to review other matters that may be considered tax positions.GISA's Form 990, Return of Organization Exempt from Income Tax is subject to examination by the IRS, generally for three years after they were filed.
