The financial statement effects of a tax position are recognized when the position is more-likely-than-not, based on the technical merits, to be sustained upon examination by the IRS. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken by GiveDirectly, and has concluded that as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, there are no uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken. GiveDirectly has recognized no interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions. The Organization is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. Management believes it is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2015. true Sub-Saharan Africa 6 201 Program Services SEE PART V 56992223 6 201 6 201 56992223 56992223 SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA Sub-Saharan Africa 54685 53175948 MOBILE MONEY false false false false false false schedule f, part i, line 2: TO MONITOR THE USE OF THE GRANTS, GIVEDIRECTLY CALLS ALL RECIPIENTS AFTER EACH TRANSFER IS SENT TO ENSURE IT WAS RECEIVED AND THERE WERE NOT ANY ADVERSE EVENTS.
