THESE CONTRIBUTED NON-FINANCIAL ASSETS ARE VALUED BASED ON FAIR MARKET VALUE OF SERVICES RECEIVED AND IN 2023 SUCH CONTRIBUTED LEGAL SERVICES AMOUNTED TO APPROXIMATELY $13.6M. FOR FINANCIAL STATEMENT PURPOSES, THESE CONTRIBUTED SERVICES ARE RECORDED AS CONTRIBUTION REVENUE AND A RELATED PROGRAMMATIC EXPENSE. HOWEVER, FOR PURPOSES OF THE FORM 990, THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE REQUIRES THAT SUCH AMOUNTS BE EXCLUDED FROM CONTRIBUTION REVENUE ON PART VIII AS WELL AS EXCLUDED FROM PROGRAMMATIC EXPENSES ON PART IX. THIS TREATMENT, UNFORTUNATELY, DOES NOT PROPERLY EXHIBIT THE PROGRAMMATIC IMPACT THE DONATED LEGAL SERVICES HAVE ON THE VALUE OF ISLP'S IMPACT.
