Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

Form 990, Part IX, Line 25

“The Desk incubated at the Chicago Communty Trust, then established operations as an independent organization in March 2023. The tax year ending 2024 was the Desk's first full year of operations. The Desk continued to build its infrastructure and increase capacity for programming, resulting in a significant increase in program expenses in 2024.”

Financial Statement Notes

Schedule D, Part X, Line 2

“The Organization is a tax-exempt organization under Section 501(c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Organization follows the accounting standard on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, which addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under this guidance, The Organization may recognize the tax benefits from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. Examples of tax positions include the tax-exempt status of The Organization and various positions related to potential sources of unrelated business taxable income. There were no unrecognized tax benefits identified or recorded as liabilities for the reporting period presented in the financial statements. The Organization files Form 990 in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and the State of Illinois.”
