At year end, the Organization had no unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions in its information return that would qualify for either recognition or disclosure in its financial statements. The Organizations policy would be to recognize interest and penalties on tax positions related to its unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense in the financial statements. Through year end, there have been no matters that would have resulted in an accrual for interest and/or penalties. Generally, the tax years before 2018 are no longer subject to examination by federal, state, or local taxing authorities. true State Financial Officers Foundation 13851 W 63rd St 405 Shawnee KS 66216 462604771 501c3 317500 New Tolerance Campaign 300 Independence Ave SE Washington Washington DC 20003 883060056 501c3 10000 ACUF CPAC 1199 N Fairfax St Ste 500 Alexandria VA 22314 521294680 501c3 50000 American Legislative Exchange Counc 2900 Crystal Drive 6th Floor Arlington VA 22202 520140979 501c3 18500 Center for Law & Policy 1747 Pennsylvania Ave Suite 800 Washington DC 20006 854286787 501c3 125000 Bradley Impact Fund 1400 N Water Street 300 Milwaukee WI 53202 454678325 501c3 137500 New Breeze 150 Newport Ave Ext Quincy MA 02171 043510635 501c3 500000 Tholos Foundation 722 12th Street NW 4th floor Washington DC 20005 521400492 501c3 111500 State Freedom Caucus Foundation 300 Independence Ave Se Washington DC 20003 883060056 501c3 100000 X X X false false false false false false false false false Will Hild Executive Director 237154 22348 259502 Beau Brunson Dir of Policy & Regulatory Affairs 140192 11100 4296 28793 184381 Joseph Colangelo Former Board Presid Secure R X 350000 135000 false true true 135000 Form 990 governing body review Part VI line 11 1.The Organizations Executive director is responsible for the timely preparation of the Form 990.
