“Long-term sustainability”

Part X : FIN48 Footnote

“FFT is exempt from Federal and State Income taxes under Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3) and California Franchise Tax Board Code Section 23701d. Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been made in the accompanying financial statements. In addition, the Internal Revenue Service has determined FFT is not a private foundation within the meaning of Section 509(a) of the Internal Revenue Code.Management of FFT considers the likelihood of changes by taxing authorities in its filed tax returns and recognizes a liability for or discloses potential significant changes if management believes it is more likely than not for a change to occur, including changes to FFTs status as a not-for-profit entity. Management believes FFT met the requirements to maintain its tax-exempt status and has not income subject to unrelated business income tax; therefore no provision for income taxes has been provided in these financial statements. FFTs tax returns for the past three years are subject to examination by tax authorities, and may change upon examination.”

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0Medically Tailored Meals Pilot Study: A partnership with five other agencies throughout California, this program provides Medi-Cal patients with congestive heart failure healthy meals to reduce rehospitalizations and health care expenses.Childrens Pantry: Through this program, we provide nutritious food and fresh produce free of charge to the dependent children of the clients of our HIV and Welcome Home programs. Bags of Love: Food For Thought volunteers prepare approximately 100 grocery bags per month with ready-to-eat food that doesnt require cooking or refrigeration. We partner with local healthcare and HIV agencies who distribute the bags directly to homeless individuals free of charge. Each bag contains 12 meals worth of calories. This program is projected to grow substantially in 2020.
IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0Food For Thoughts life-sustaining services are available at no charge to qualified clients, most of whom are low income; 10 percent are homeless. The amount of prepared food and fresh groceries we distribute equates to 300,000 meals per year. Food For Thought services eliminate food insecurity, reduce hospital visits and medical expenses, and improve our clients health and quality of life. With the dedication and compassion of more than 550 volunteers, Food For Thought is proud to be known as the Sonoma County agency that heals with food + love.
