“Form 990 is prepared by an outside tax professional. The form is then reviewed bythe organization's management, the cfo, and the executive director. This group of individuals then discusses the contents of the return with the outside tax professional. After a full review, the final version of the tax return is provided to all members of the organization's voting body. A representative of management authorizes the final form 990 which is then e-filed with the internal revenue service.”
“Members of the board of directors review all potential conflicts of interest atleast annually. All personnel and board members are required to disclose (inwriting) potential conflicts and any related party affiliations. Loans between theorganization and members of management and the board are strictly prohibited. Theorganization seeks full transparency on all relationships. Any potential conflicts(in fact or appearance) are discussed openly and resolved in accordance with theorganization's policies and procedures.”
“Members of the board of directors review the compensation of all high-level personnel periodically in accordance with irs rules and regulations. Efforts are made to secure compensation data from industry sources in order to determine competitiveness and appropriateness of salaries. Every effort is made to ensure that the process is thorough and transparent in accordance with irs guidelines and the organization's policies and procedures.”
“Compensation of other high-level personnel and key employees is reviewed periodically by members of management. Efforts are made to secure compensation data from industry sources in order to determine competitiveness and appropriateness of salaries and all related benefits. All decisions are then documented in personnel files.”
“All of the organization's governing documents, financial statements and other legalfilings are maintained in a secure environment and held available for inspection bytax authorities and the general public.

“Income TaxesFinancial statement presentation follows the recommendations of ASC 740, Income Taxes. Under ASC 740, Groundswell Action Fund is required to report information regarding its exposure to various tax positions taken by the organization and requires a two-step process that separates recognition from measurement. The first step is determining whether a tax position has met the recognition threshold; the second step is measuring a tax position that meets the recognition threshold. Management believes that Groundswell Action Fund has adequately evaluated its current tax positions and has concluded that as of December 31, 2018, Groundswell Action Fund does not have any uncertain tax positions for which a reserve or an accrual for a tax liability would be necessary.Groundswell Action Fund has received notification from the Internal Revenue Service and the State of California that it qualifies for tax-exempt status under Section 501(c)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code and Section 23701d of the California Revenue and Taxation Code. This exemption is subject to periodic review by the federal and state taxing authorities and management is confident that the organization continues to satisfy all federal and state statutes in order to qualify for continued tax exemption status. Groundswell Action Fund may periodically receive unrelated business income requiring the organization to file separate tax returns under federal and state statutes. Under such conditions, Groundswell Action Fund calculates and accrues the applicable taxes payable.”

While we, and our grantee partners, understand the importance of winning individual elections or policy fights, the long-term prize is creating and sustaining a truly inclusive, participatory democracy with leaders who come from and reflect our communities and are rooted in progressive values of interconnectedness, structural inclusion, an economy for the common good, and liberation. We also recognize that democracy requires not just robust elections and legislative processes, but also people in the streets ready and able to hold power accountable. |

Liberation from that violence and hate inclusive of the freedom to live, love, and be secure is our ultimate goal, one that we share with our grantee organizations; we know that one election cannot bring about that liberation. Thats why we, Groundswell and the communities we support, are in this for the long haul. |

| IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 0 | Income TaxesFinancial statement presentation follows the recommendations of ASC 740, Income Taxes. Under ASC 740, Groundswell Action Fund is required to report information regarding its exposure to various tax positions taken by the organization and requires a two-step process that separates recognition from measurement. The first step is determining whether a tax position has met the recognition threshold; the second step is measuring a tax position that meets the recognition threshold. Management believes that Groundswell Action Fund has adequately evaluated its current tax positions and has concluded that as of December 31, 2018, Groundswell Action Fund does not have any uncertain tax positions for which a reserve or an accrual for a tax liability would be necessary.Groundswell Action Fund has received notification from the Internal Revenue Service and the State of California that it qualifies for tax-exempt status under Section 501(c)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code and Section 23701d of the California Revenue and Taxation Code. This exemption is subject to periodic review by the federal and state taxing authorities and management is confident that the organization continues to satisfy all federal and state statutes in order to qualify for continued tax exemption status. Groundswell Action Fund may periodically receive unrelated business income requiring the organization to file separate tax returns under federal and state statutes. Under such conditions, Groundswell Action Fund calculates and accrues the applicable taxes payable. |
