Part X, Line 2: Chicago Youth Centers is exempt from income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and applicable state law, except for taxes pertaining to unrelated business income, if any. The accounting standard on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under this guidance, the Chicago Youth Centers may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. Examples of tax positions include the tax-exempt status of the Chicago Youth Centers and various positions related to the potential sources of unrelated business taxable income. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes also addresses de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, and accounting in interim periods. At June 30, 2023, there were no unrecognized tax benefits identified or recorded as liabilities. Chicago Youth Centers files Form 990 in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and the State of Illinois. Chicago Youth Centers is no longer subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for years before fiscal 2020.

We provide the tools, experiences, and resources needed for youth ages 3-18 to persist academically and develop socially and emotionally. We engage children early and provide services when they are most vulnerable: after school and during the summer. We offer family engagement programs to help families guide their children during critical transitions: entering kindergarten, starting high school, and preparing for college or a career. We build strong partnerships within communities to create a village of committed community leaders, schools, volunteers, and peer organizations dedicated to our children's success. We understand the challenges our families face. To set them on a path toward upward mobility, we deliver programs that: - Expand youth's abilities to think critically, create, communicate, and collaborate - Provide academic supports - Expose youth to STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and math) fields - Prepare children and teens for college and careers - Focus on healthy living and violence prevention Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11b The Form 990 is reviewed by the organization's Chief Financial Officer and emailed to the full Board of Directors prior to filing. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c On an annual basis, all board members and employees who are considered senior management must sign a conflict of interest disclosure form which is collected and maintained by the administrative assistant to the President/CEO. All board members are required to read and review the conflict of interest policy annually and complete a conflict of interest statement that states whether or not they have a conflict of interest. If they do have a conflict of interest, they must disclose it. If the conflict involves a matter being voted on by the board or a committee, that board member is not allowed to vote on the matter. All new board members brought on throughout the year must read the policy and sign the statement. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15 Two necessary components of compensation planning in any economic environment are compensation benchmarking and salary structure adjustments. The organization maintains a viable and comprehensive performance-based merit system. An outside consultant, HR Source, provided guidance in designing a wage and salary structure. The objectives were simply to: 1. Develop a competitive compensation structure utilizing benchmarking analysis of the metropolitan Chicago labor market. 2. Analyze current competitive pay practices of the organization in order to provide guidance on updating and improving administration of the compensation program for the employees in the positions involved. On an annual basis, aligned with the hiring anniversary of the CEO, the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors completes a performance evaluation on and approves the compensation for the organization's CEO. The CEO completes a performance evaluation for each member of the senior management team and consistent with guidelines established for the entire agency, and in adherence to the approved wage and salary structure, implements a salary adjustment based on the overall performance rating. A Board Resolution is completed and signed by the Board Chair following this process. The Board of Directors has approved an employment contract that stipulates the annual salary and any discretionary bonuses for the CEO. Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19 The audited financial statements are available on Chicago Youth Centers' website as well as upon request. All other governing documents and the conflict of interest policy are available upon request. Documents are available on the same basis of disclosure prescribed by section 6104(d).
