“During the year ended June 30, 2024, the Organization conducted a review of its revenue recognition policies in accordance with ASC 958-605 and identified an error in the classification and timing of revenue recognition for certain grants received from federal, state, and local agencies. Historically, the Organization recognized revenue for these grants at the time of the award. However, upon further analysis, it was determined that certain grant agreements included allowability right of return clauses, which require the return of unspent or unallowable funds and are linked to measurable performance barriers under ASC 958-605-25-5A. As a result, these grants should have been classified as conditional contributions, with revenue recognized only when conditions were substantially met rather than at the time of award. To correct this error, the Organization has restated its beginning net assets as follows: Net assets with donor restrictions were decreased to reflect the right of return tied to unmet conditions. Promises to give were decreased to remove amounts that should not have been recognized as receivables until conditions were met. The cumulative impact of this adjustment is reflected as a decrease in beginning net assets with donor restrictions as of July 1, 2023, with a corresponding decrease in promise to give of $9,342,925. The Organization has implemented revised revenue recognition policies to ensure compliance with ASC 958-605, and all future grants will be assessed for conditions before recognition.”
