Supplemental Narrative

Financial Statement Notes

Part X : FIN48 Footnote

“The Organization is recognized as a tax-exempt organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) and is exempt from federal and State income taxes on related income. In addition, the Organization has been determined by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) not to be a private foundation within the meaning of section 509(a) of the IRC. The Organization had no unrelated business income during fiscal year 2024, therefore, no provision for federal or State income taxes has been made in the accompanying financial statements.The accounting standard on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. This requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Organizations tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are more likely than not of being sustained when challenged or when examined by the applicable tax authority. For the year ended December 31, 2024, management has determined that there were no material uncertain tax positions.”

IRS990/Desc0Mentoring & Youth Development: In 2024, Focus Fairies Mentoring continued to deepen the impact of its core youth development work through intentional, relationship-centered mentoring. Across our school and community sites, girls participated in both 1:1 mentoring and group sessions designed to strengthen confidence, emotional intelligence, and leadership skills. This year, we celebrated several major milestones four of our mentees graduated high school and transitioned into college, marking a proud moment for both our team and their mentors who supported them along the way. Additionally, two of our girls secured employment through one of Focus Fairies corporate partners, reflecting the success of our career-exposure and workforce-readiness efforts. Throughout the year, our team continued to emphasize depth over breadth, focusing on the quality, consistency, and intentionality of our two core mentoring programs B-Girl and Whimsical Wonders & Wishes ensuring that every participant receives the individualized support and guidance needed to thrive personally, academically, and professionally.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0Bee Girls: In 2024, Focus Fairies Mentoring proudly served 57 high schoolaged girls across the South and West Sides of Chicago through our BEE-Girl initiative. Program sites included but not limited to, Marshall, Art in Motion, and Bogan High School. The BEE-Girl program continues to provide a safe and affirming space for girls to explore identity, emotional wellness, and leadership through mentorship, creative expression, and community engagement. This year, we also expanded our youth employment efforts by hiring and paying four student interns during the summer to work with Focus Fairies Mentoring, offering hands-on experience in nonprofit operations and youth development. Additionally, we rebranded and relaunched our alumni program, now called BEE Girl Fly, designed for young women ages 16 to 21 who are transitioning out of the core mentoring program. B-Girl Fly serves as a bridge to adulthood, providing alumni with continued mentorship, workforce readiness training, and leadership development opportunities as they prepare for college, careers, and independent living.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0Whimsical Wonder and Wishes: The Whimsical Wonders and Wishes (WWW) program reached 140 elementary-age girls across schools such as Daniel Webster, Mason, and Sumner Elementary in North Lawndale. The curriculum promoted social-emotional learning, character-building, and self-expression through play-based learning. Following cuts from CPS, FFM restored WWW to these schools to ensure continuity for girls in under-resourced communities. Programming reflected the organizations commitment to cultural affirmation and community healing, grounded in identity, joy, and resilience

IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0The Organization is recognized as a tax-exempt organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) and is exempt from federal and State income taxes on related income. In addition, the Organization has been determined by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) not to be a private foundation within the meaning of section 509(a) of the IRC. The Organization had no unrelated business income during fiscal year 2024, therefore, no provision for federal or State income taxes has been made in the accompanying financial statements.The accounting standard on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. This requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Organizations tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are more likely than not of being sustained when challenged or when examined by the applicable tax authority. For the year ended December 31, 2024, management has determined that there were no material uncertain tax positions.
