Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

FORM 990 - ORGANIZATION'S MISSION

“Build a "country first" civic movement to begin improving political dialogue in america, renewing center-right issues and thought, promoting bipartisanship wherever possible, and ushering in a return to an optimistic and hopeful vision.”

Form 990, Page 2, Part III, Line 4A

“Country first academy (cfa) is a non-partisan public-interest program to identify, educate, and train pro-freedom, pro-democracy americans to run for office at all levels of government and volunteer as election workers, with a focus on those interested in serving in state and local office. Country first academy will: build the premier program to fill a national pipeline of prospective pro-freedom, pro-democracy candidates and election workers; educate individuals interested in running for office or volunteering for election work; build and provide free, comprehensive, and widely accessible nonpartisan resources and training to candidates and election workers once they have officially stepped forward; and partner with like-minded organizations to connect candidates and election-working volunteers to additional resources.”

Financial Statement Notes

Schedule D, Page 3, Part X

“Keep country first policy action complies with fasb asc 740-10 and accounting standards update (asu) 2009-06. Therefore, the organization considered the possibility of uncertain tax positions and their impact on the financial position of the organization. The most significant tax positions of the organization are its tax-exempt status and the determination of unrelated business taxable income. As of december 31, 2022, management did not identify any uncertain tax positions. Keep country first policy action accrues interest and penalties (if applicable) in income taxes payable on the statement of financial position and records any expense in the provision for income taxes in the statement of activities. The organization had no penalties or income taxes for the year ended december 31, 2022.”
