Part X : FIN48 Footnote The Foundation is tax exempt under provisions of IRS Section 501(c)(3) and as such pays no tax on its exempt function income.Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Foundation and recognize a tax liability (or asset) if the Foundation 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 Foundation, and has concluded that as of December 31, 2024, there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability (or asset) or disclosure in the financial statements. The Foundation is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. Management believes it is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2021. false GALA 521513 507263 14250 31173 40459 52084 521513 507263 14250 31173 40459 52084 123716 -109466 true NATIONAL SPEECH & DEBATE ASSO 6600 Westown Pkwy Ste 270 WEST DES MOINES IA 50266 390840589 10000 0 DEBATE OUTREACH 0 1 DEBATE AWARDS 32 38550 COOLIDGE SENATOR AWARDS 97 96250 DEBATE TRAVEL STIPENDS 99 34060 STUDENT CONFERENCE TRAVEL SUPPORT 49 11347 X X X X X false false false false false false false false false AMITY SHLAES TRUST/CHAIR&CEO 200000 100000 150000 39933 389933 100000 Colleen Stamos Dir,Coolidge House 135096 20907 156003 MATTHEW DENHART President 200000 73558 39216 239216 73558 Rob Hammer Dir, Scholarship 107500 30288 19527 127027 30288 X 6 197189 FMV false false false Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b The Form 990 was reviewed by the organization's management.
