Additional Explanations

Form 990, Part III, Line 2: New Services

“The Chicago Restaurant Worker Relief Fund was created in 2020 to help Chicago restaurant, bar and coffee shop workers who are experiencing hardship from the COVID-19 crisis. See detailed program description in Part III of this Form 990.”

Form 990, Part XII, Line 1 - Accounting Method

“The organization was previously classified as a private foundation and filed its tax return using the cash method of accounting for the purpose of tracking its qualifying distributions. The organization has since been reclassified by the IRS as a public charity, retroactive to its formation date, and now files Form 990. The organization's financial statements for the year ending 12/31/20 were prepared using the accrual method, and pursuant to Rev. Proc. 2021-5, Section 2.03(1), the organization has not previously filed a Form 990-T or has unrelated business income and is not required to file Form 3115 to report its change in accounting method.”
