| Part IV, Line 1b: Why is organization an agent, trustee, custodian or other intermediary for contrib | In an effort to educate clients to become more fiscally responsible, the organization requires mandatory contributions from qualifying residents that are held by the Shelter in an effort to provide saving or pay down debt. All funds held are returned to qualified residents when they move out. The organization has consulted with an attorney regarding these types of transactions.The organization acts as an agent for the client/resident but does not maintain an escrow or act as custodian in this capacity. |
| Part X : FIN48 Footnote | In general, when tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheets, along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. The Shelter has determined that no such liabilities were required at June 30, 2025. |

| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c | Each year board members are required to complete a detailed questionnaire designed to help them determine whether they have a conflict of interest. A committee of the board reviews the completed questionnaires, along with the conflict of interest policy, together annually. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15a | Stacey Gold's (Executive Director of Stepping Stones Shelter) compensation was determined as follows: During a regular meeting the Stepping Stones Shelter's board reviewed data, including published salary surveys and compensation data from Form 990s from other charitable organizations, reflecting comparable compensation for similarly qualified persons in functionally comparable positions at similarly situated organizations. The independent members of the board discussed whether Stacey Gold's compensation is objectively reasonable, and upon finding it to be so, the board officially approved Stacey Gold's compensation. The deliberation and decision were contemporaneously substantiated. |
