Audit and Tax Services
Description:
- INFORMATION FOR BIDDERS
- Purpose:
- Imagine Black invites proposals for the preparation of its yearly audited financial statements and related filings for a three-year period beginning with the 2024-25 fiscal year ending June 30. The audit of Imagine Black’s financial statements must be performed in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
- About Imagine Black:
- Imagine Black (formerly known as PAALF Action Fund) helps our Black community imagine the alternatives we deserve and build our political participation and leadership to achieve those alternatives. Since our start in 2009, we have envisioned a world where people of African descent enjoy the rights, resources, and recognition to be a thriving, resilient, and connected community.
- At Imagine Black, we have strengthened our commitment to a Black Queer Feminist (BQF) theory and practice. BQF provides a more holistic understanding of our conditions and connectedness as Black people. As a result, we understand that liberation for all Black people can only be realized by lifting up the voices and experiences and prioritizing the issues of historically silenced and vulnerable groups within Black communities - specifically, queer, trans, and GNC, femme, poor, disabled, working and undocumented people (adapted from BYP100).
- Imagine Black is a 501(c)(4) multi-issue grassroots organization in partnership with our sibling 501(c)(3) organization, Imagine Black Futures, and subsidiary LLC, Imagine Black Ventures. We have a staff of eleven and an operating budget of around $3.5M.
