The FIN-48 footnote reproduced below is from the consolidated audited financial statements. Fedcap and its related entities follow guidance that clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, including issues relating to financial statement recognition and measurement. This guidance provides that the tax effects from an uncertain tax position can only be recognized in the financial statements if the position is "more-likely-than-not" to be sustained if the position were to be challenged by a taxing authority. The assessment of the tax position is based solely on the technical merits of the position, without regard to the likelihood that the tax position may be challenged. Fedcap and its related entities are exempt from federal income tax under IRC section 501(c)(3), though they are subject to tax on income unrelated to their respective exempt purpose, unless that income is otherwise excluded by the Code. These organizations have processes presently in place to ensure the maintenance of their tax-exempt status; to identify and report unrelated income; to determine their filing and tax obligations in jurisdictions for which they have nexus; and to identify and evaluate other matters that may be considered tax positions. Fedcap and its related entities have determined that there are no material uncertain tax positions that require recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. true Educational/Needs Assistance 17077 Form 990, Schedule I, Part III The Fedcap Group is committed to effecting long-term, sustainable change among the populations and communities we serve. Community Workshops is an instrumental part of effecting that change. Its programs and operations bring education and the power of work to individuals with disabilities, adults with conviction histories, veterans, and many others facing barriers to employment. Individual grants do not require continued monitoring as the organization only provides assistance to those individuals who have demonstrated a need (either public assistance, educational stipends or some other form of care). No gifted funds may be used for non-essential purposes and may not be spent on discretionary items that do not support an individual's health and welfare.
