SCHR had no income from unrelated activities and has no income taxes due as of December 31, 2021 and 2020.SCHRs application of ASC 740 regarding uncertain tax positions had no effect on its financial position as management believes SCHR has no material unrecognized income tax benefits, including any potential risk of loss of its not-for-profit tax status. SCHR would account for any potential interest or penalties related to possible future liabilities for unrecognized income tax benefits as income tax expense. SCHR is no longer subject to examination by federal, state or local tax authorities for periods before 2018. false FREDERICK DOUGLASS DINNER 274405 274405 2093 4000 5650 ATLANTA BENEFIT 135049 135049 461 5989 2 27796 27796 437250 437250 2554 5989 4000 5650 18193 -18193 true NAACP-GA 2001 MARTIN LUTHER KING JR DR ATLANTA GA 30310 582045335 501(C)(4) 50000 0 SPONSOR THE JUST GEORGIA COALITION RESTOREHER US AMERICA 786 DILL AVE ATLANTA GA 30310 830907216 501(C)(3) 10000 0 UNLOCK THE BOX CAMPAIGN 1 1 Grantmaker's Description of How Grants are Used Each recipient of grant funds is required to provide annual narratives reports.
