| Desc | Financial Services/Education: For the past 20 years, FRI has been a vital resource for low-income individuals earning less than $67,000 annually, offering support through its Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) and Financial Education Literacy programs. Since launching these services in 2005, FRI has prepared 18,200 free income tax returns, contributing to the retention of over $3.5 million in the Far East Dallas community through tax refunds. The organization primarily serves Hispanic families, with more than 60% of its clients being non-English speakers, reflecting its commitment to inclusivity and accessibility. In 2025 alone, FRI prepared 325 free tax returns, generating $388,256 in refunds for local taxpayers. By offering these services at no cost, FRI helped clients save an average of $190 per return in preparation fees.

| Desc | In 2025, in collaboration with an area food pantry, FRI launched a direct food distribution service to (2) area apartment complexes with large populations without access to transportation. Going into 2026, the goal will be to not only increase apartments served but also provide other important resources to these communities such as voter registration, family violence prevention, and workforce training opportunities. With the support of our City Council members, a portion of the Far East Dallas community will become the Far East Dallas Public Improvement District (FEDPID) in 2026. By establishing FEDPID we will be significantly building upon the safety and beautification efforts that the Ferguson Road Initiative (FRI) began in 1998. FEDPID will provide a long-term funding source for the community-building efforts of FRI. The FEDPID service plan will allocate 41% of its annual revenue to extended neighborhood patrols (ENP), law enforcement and public safety initiatives, and crime prevention efforts. Additionally, revenue will also be used for beautification, enhanced landscaping, capital improvements, public amenities, and communication with property owners. | Desc |

| Explanation | Organization is a not-for-profit organization that is exempt from federal income taxes under Section 501(c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code as other than a private foundation. The Organization is not aware of any activities that would jeopardize its tax-exempt status and is not aware of any activities that are subject to tax on unrelated business income. As of December 31, 2025, the Organization believes that it has appropriate support for any tax positions taken, and as such, does not have any uncertain tax positions that are material to the financial statements. The organization is subject to filing a 990 Information return annually. In addition, a 990T tax return must be filed with the Internal Revenue Service for unrelated business income. With few exceptions, Federal information returns filed prior to 2022 for the Organization are no longer subject to examination by tax authorities. | ExplanationTxt |
