Supplemental Narrative

Financial Statement Notes

PART V, LINE 4:

The intended use for the endowment funds is to help support the operation of the organization and also aide in protecting the merrimack river and promote the wise use of its watershed.

PART X, LINE 2:

The organization is exempt from federal income taxes under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code (the "code"). The organization is not classified as a private foundation and contributions made to the organization are deductible by donors as provided in section 170 of the code. Generally accepted accounting principles in the united states of america prescribe the threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized and recorded as a component of current income tax expese for differences between financial and inccome tax reportig positions which do not meet this threshold. Any interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions are recorded as a component of income tax expense. The organization has reviewed its tax positions that remain subject to examination by tax authorities and has not identified any material uncertain tax positions and thus has not recorded any liability at june 30, 2025. The organization's federal and state tax returns are subject to possible examination by taxing authorities until the expiration of the related returns statutes. In general, the federal and state tax returns have a three-year statute of limitation from the date of the tax returns were due or filed, whichever is later. The organization is no longer subject to examinations as of the date of the financial statements.
