Income generated from activities unrelated to the Organizations exempt purposes is subject to tax under IRC Section 511. The Organization had no unrelated business income for the years ended December 31, 2023. Accordingly, no provision has been made for federal income tax. GAAP requires the evaluation of tax positions taken in the course of preparing the Organizations tax returns and recognition of a tax liability (or asset) if the Organization has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the Internal Revenue Service. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Organization, and has concluded that as of December 31, 2023, there are no uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability (or asset) or disclosure in the financial statements. false GOLF 36498 24771 11727 4992 6735 1441 36498 24771 11727 4992 6735 1441 13168 -1441 false CITY OF BAYTOWN PARKS & REC 2401 MARKET ST BAYTOWN TX 77520 746000246 govt. 0 6047 IMH INFORMATIONAL TRAIL SIGNS 1 0 GIFT CARDS 80 8320 INFANT/TODDLER FAMILY SUPPORT 42 1675 1623 PURCHASE PRICE DIAPERS, CLOTHING, FURNITURE Form 990, Part III, Line 2 Help Me Grow is a national model through which communities can: Identify vulnerable children, Link families to community-based services, and Empower families to support their childs optimal development.Help Me Grow Gulf Coast is a collaboration between First3Years, the DePelchin Center and United Way of Greater Houston.
