Financial Statement Notes

Part X : FIN48 Footnote

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, 2020, 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.

IRS990/Desc0Groundswell Action Fund makes grants and provides staff technical assistance to nonprofit organizations and movement leaders who are paving the road to liberation and harnessing elections as part of a broader strategy of transformation and power building. 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.

IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0Income 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, 2020, 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.
