Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

General explanation attachment

“Forward Together Wisconsins Mission:Forward Together Wisconsin (FTW) exists to seize this unique once in-a-lifetime opportunity to make real progress in Wisconsin by ensuring these dollars are spent and that their impact is both felt and recognized by communities across the state, especially communities of color, working class families, Tribal communities, and rural communities. Not only do we seek to promote the positive impacts of these investments, we will also help make these stories a reality for Wisconsinites by directly connecting and providing assistance to communities to enroll in these programs.”

Financial Statement Notes

Part X, Line 2-Text in footnote regarding FIN 48 (ASC 740)

“The Organization is required to measure, recognize, present, and disclose in its financial statements uncertain income tax positions the Organization has taken in the tax years that remain subject to examination or expects to take on an income tax return. The Organization recognizes the tax benefits from uncertain income tax positions only if it is more likely than not the tax position will be sustained on examination by tax authorities. Prior year income tax returns may be subject to audit in various tax jurisdictions, most of which define open tax years as three years from the later of the due date or the date the return was filed. The Organization recorded no liability for uncertain income tax positions for any open tax years.”

We also held 6 events across the state in Spring of 2025, engaging nearly 150 leaders to learn about how to access Direct Pay funding through the federal government. We knocked on 335,863 doors and had more 50,830 conversations to help Wisconsinites access resources to save money on their utility bills and to encourage them to vote.

IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt	0	The Organization is required to measure, recognize, present, and disclose in its financial statements uncertain income tax positions the Organization has taken in the tax years that remain subject to examination or expects to take on an income tax return. The Organization recognizes the tax benefits from uncertain income tax positions only if it is more likely than not the tax position will be sustained on examination by tax authorities. Prior year income tax returns may be subject to audit in various tax jurisdictions, most of which define open tax years as three years from the later of the due date or the date the return was filed. The Organization recorded no liability for uncertain income tax positions for any open tax years.
