Return Reference
Explanation
FORM 990, PAGE ONE:
AN AMENDED 2013 FORM 990 IS BEING FILED AS IT WAS RECENTLY DISCOVERED THAT THE ORGANIZATION'S PRIOR RETURN, A 990 N, FAILED TO PROPERLY RECOGNIZE GRANTS RECEIVED BY THE ORGANIZATION FROM ITS FISCAL SPONSOR, THE CHICAGO COMMUNITY TRUST (CCT). AS FISCAL SPONSOR, CCT INCURRED A NUMBER OF EXPENSES AND MADE A NUMBER OF GRANTS DIRECTLY IN SUPPORT OF THE ORGANIZATION'S ACTIVITIES. IT ALSO MADE CERTAIN INDIRECT GRANTS TO THE ORGANIZATION VIA TRANSFERS TO THE ORGANIZATION'S PAYROLL SERVICE. THE ORGANIZATION'S INITIAL 2013 FILING FAILED TO REPORT THOSE GRANTS AS THE ORGANIZATION WAS UNAWARE THAT SALARIES WERE BEING TREATED DIFFERENTLY FROM OTHER PROGRAM EXPENSES. WHEREAS MOST OF THE PROGRAM EXPENSES THAT WERE INCURRED ON BEHALF OF LEAP INNOVATIONS' PROGRAMS WERE TREATED AS PROGRAM EXPENSES OF THE FISCAL SPONSOR, SALARIES AND RELATED PAYROLL TAXES WERE TREATED AS GRANTS TO LEAP INNOVATIONS. THE PAYROLL SERVICE PROVIDER WAS PAID DIRECTLY AND AT NO TIME WERE ANY OF THESE FUNDS IN AN ACCOUNT CONTROLLED BY LEAP INNOVATIONS (AS OF DECEMBER, 2014, LEAP INNOVATIONS STILL DOES NOT HAVE ANY BANK ACCOUNTS OF ITS OWN). BECAUSE THE ORGANIZATION WAS ADVISED THAT FUNDS NOT CONTROLLED BY THE ORGANIZATION ARE NOT CONSIDERED LEAP INNOVATIONS' REVENUES ACCORDING TO THE FISCAL SPONSORSHIP AGREEMENT, THE ORGANIZATION FILED A FORM 990-N WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT THE REVENUE FOR THE FISCAL YEAR WAS $0. UPON THE SUBSEQUENT DISCOVERY OF THIS ERROR, THE ORGANIZATION TOOK STEPS TO IMMEDIATELY PREPARE AND FILE THIS AMENDED RETURN AND TO PROPERLY TRACK AND REPORT SUCH INFORMATION IN THE FUTURE.
