A key component of this work is educating lawmakers about how proposed policies and legislation may directly affect disabled peoples daily lives, access to essential services and supports, and ability to live independently in their communities.Able SCs nonpartisan advocacy and lobbying activities are supported solely with unrestricted, non-governmental funds and are directly aligned with our mission to equip, educate, and advocate. Able SC engages in lobbying at the state level in South Carolina and at the federal level in Washington, D.C., including through participation in a nonpartisan national disability alliance. These efforts focus on ensuring that people with disabilities have the access, services, supports, and opportunities necessary to direct their own lives and thrive in their communities.

In addition, the Organization is not a "private foundation" within the meaning of Section 509(a) of The Internal Revenue Code. Management is not aware of any transactions or events that would disqualify its tax-exempt status. Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been included in the financial statements.Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Organization and to recognize 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 IRS. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Organization and has concluded that as of September 30, 2025 and 2024, there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability (or asset) or disclosure in the financial statements. 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 fiscal years prior to 2021. U.S. state jurisdictions have statutes of limitations that generally range from three to five years.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b The form 990 is reviewed by the organization's president/CEO prior to filing. A copy is also provided to the board for their review prior to filing. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c The board reviews the annual disclosures submitted by each member. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15a The salary for the president/CEO is approved by the board using market comparable. Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19 The organization's governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and audited financial statements are available upon request. Explanation of Year-Over-Year Revenue and Expenses During the prior fiscal year, Able South Carolina received a one-time, nonrecurring contribution of $2,000,000, which significantly increased total revenue and the change in net assets for that year. The organization did not receive a comparable one-time contribution during the current fiscal year. Accordingly, the decrease in total revenue and change in net assets between the two fiscal years is substantially attributable to the absence of this nonrecurring contribution and should not be interpreted as resulting from increased organizational spending. In fact, total expenses decreased from $6,201,324 in the prior year to $5,966,173 in the current year, a reduction of approximately $235,000. Form 990, Part V, Line 1c - Reportable Payments The organization had no reportable payments to a vendor requiring compliance with backup withholding rules, nor did they provide any reportable gaming, gambling, or winnings to a prize winner.
