Income generated from activities unrelated to the Organizations exempt purposes is subject to tax under IRC Section 511. The Organization had no unrelated business income for the year ended June 30, 2023. GAAP requires the evaluation of tax positions taken in the course of preparing the Organizations tax returns and recognition of a tax liability (or asset) if the Organization has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the Internal Revenue Service. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Organization, and has concluded that as of June 30, 2023, there are no uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability (or asset) or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements. false TX NY BIG NIGHT 392811 348615 44196 46781 44196 39778 112202 Works of Heart 13426 13426 406237 362041 44196 46781 44196 39778 112202 242957 -198761 X X X false false false false false false false false false BYRON K SANDERS President & CEO 222620 41106 8594 272320 ERIN OFFORD CHIEF PROG & SYSTEMS OFFICER 145737 25991 8594 180322 GLENN BALDWIN CFO 165269 25237 8594 199100 GREGORY MCPHERSON CHIEF BIT OFFICER 123983 18294 8594 150871 X AUCTION ITEMS 9 31979 FMV X GUITAR 1 600 FMV false false false Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b The CFO reviews a draft of the Preparer's Form 990 in detail.
