| Desc | Media:Storytelling is at the heart of our effort to empower LGBTQ+ youth around the globe. We share stories that inspire hope, stories that spark conversations, and stories that can inform and positively influence a sexual orientation and/or gender identity journey. Every It Gets Better story offers a unique, wisdom-infused perspective designed to show LGBTQ+ youth that through community, shared experiences, and life-affirming resources, things can and will get better. This simple message of hope has been translated across all forms of media, including social media, television specials, best-selling books, theater, museum exhibits and more. It has attracted millions of followers and supporters from around the world. It Gets Better is the destination for LGBTQ+ youth exploring their sexual orientation and/or gender identity.In 2023, the It Gets Better Project shared uplifting content and messages that were viewed more than 130 million times across TikTok, Instagram, Twitch, Twitter, Facebook, Linked In, Reddit and Tumblr, and more than 520,000 unique visitors explored ItGetsBetter.org, our information-rich website, to engage with resources designed to inform LGBTQ+ youth on their sexual orientation and/or gender journey. Each year, we are engaging with nearly 850,000 young people throughout our media and website channels. It Gets Better content also won several awards in 2023, including Webby, Telly and Anthem Awards for our 2022 original content series Queer Sex Ed; a Webby Award for our short form glossary companion series LGBTQ+ Fundamentals; an Anthem Award for Human & Civil Rights for It Gets Better With Olivia Julianna; and the Shorty Award for Best Art & Culture Podcast for season one of our original Twitch Vodcast Perfectly Queer.

Grants were awarded to 67 schools in 40 U.S. states and nine Canadian provinces to support a range of LGBTQ+ inclusive projects. Throughout the year, our 10 Youth Voices ambassadors proved themselves to be stellar spokespeople for the organization and their fellow LGBTQ+ youth, talking with the press about struggles with identifying mental health care, state mandates surrounding LGBTQ+ inclusive curriculum, issues facing LGBTQ+ students in school, and access to inclusive sexual education. In October, the Youth Voices traveled to Los Angeles for our second annual Youth Summit where they participated in a full day of leadership training at the It Gets Better offices, visited the Funko Store in Hollywood, participated in a photoshoot with acclaimed photographer Maxwell Poth, and attended the Los Angeles LGBT Center's Models of Pride event.Additionally, thousands of educational materials were downloaded by educators throughout 2023 to reach more than 3,400 educators and more than 90,000 students participating in both on and offline learning environments. | Desc |

| Explanation | IOLA Foundation is exempt from taxation under Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3) and California Revenue and Taxation Code Section 23701d. Generally accepted accounting principles provide accounting and disclosure guidance about positions taken by an organization in its tax returns that might be uncertain. Management has considered its tax positions and believes that all of the positions taken by IOLA Foundation in its federal and state exempt organization tax returns are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination. IOLA Foundation's returns are subject to examination by federal and state taxing authorities, generally for three and four years, respectively, after they are filed. | ExplanationTxt |
