Supplemental Narrative

Financial Statement Notes

Part X : FIN48 Footnote

“The Organization follows the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (FASB ASC), Accounting for Uncertainty of Income Taxes, which prescribes a minimum recognition threshold and measurement methodology for tax positions taken , or expected to be taken, in a tax return prior to recognition in the financial statements. The standard also provides guidance for derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. The Organization is exemt from tax under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Organization believes that it has appropriate support for the positions taken on its tax returns and that the exempt status would be sustained on examination. The Organization classifies interest and penalties on underpayments of income taxes, if any, as interest excpense and penalties, respectively, on the statement of activities. The Organization files tax returns in the United States federal and California state jurisdictions. The Organization is no longer subject to tax examinations for California before 2013 or for the United States federal purposes before 2014.”

IRS990/Desc0Free Arts uses art to restore hope, resiliency and self-esteem in children in Los Angeles ages 4-18 who have experienced abuse, neglect, poverty and homelessness. Free Arts creates a safe environment where children can feel, understand and express their emotions and begin to recover and gain a sense of mastery and empowerment. We pair children with adult mentors who guide them through their journey of recovery, and serve as a positive role model with whom the child has a beneficial, rather than traumatic relationship.

IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0The Organization follows the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (FASB ASC), Accounting for Uncertainty of Income Taxes, which prescribes a minimum recognition threshold and measurement methodology for tax positions taken , or expected to be taken, in a tax return prior to recognition in the financial statements. The standard also provides guidance for derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. The Organization is exemt from tax under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Organization believes that it has appropriate support for the positions taken on its tax returns and that the exempt status would be sustained on examination. The Organization classifies interest and penalties on underpayments of income taxes, if any, as interest excpense and penalties, respectively, on the statement of activities. The Organization files tax returns in the United States federal and California state jurisdictions. The Organization is no longer subject to tax examinations for California before 2013 or for the United States federal purposes before 2014.
