Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 8B

There are currently no committees that are made up of board members. The full board of directors oversees all areas of the organization.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11B

An electronic copy of the form 990 is sent to the organization's board of directors, and is subject to review by the president of the organization. Upon approval of the form 990, the president authorizes its accounting firm to file the tax return with the internal revenue service.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12C

The organization currently has in place a conflict of interest policy that applies to any director, officer, or key employee, which it annually monitors and enforces. The board mandates that all members of the governing body annually sign a conflict of interest statement and disclose any potential or actual conflicts that may exist. Any director, officer or key employee who has an interest in a related party transaction shall disclose in good faith to the board of directors the material facts concerning such interest. Individuals with such relationships must not be present during, or participate in, any board deliberations or vote on any matters giving rise to the conflict, or potential conflict, of interest, including, but not limited to, matters directly pertaining to the business to be transacted with the identified person or organization or on issues that may result in any benefit inuring to the identified person or organization. The existence of all such conflicts of interest and their resolution, as well as any issues relating to them, is documented in the organization's records, including the minutes of any meeting at which the conflict was discussed or voted on. Any and all documentation deemed necessary and appropriate by the board for the sufficient evaluation and resolution of the conflict or potential conflict shall be submitted to the board.

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

The organization makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy and financial statements available to the public upon request.

Supplemental Narrative

Financial Statement Notes

PART V, LINE 4:

All investment income from the endowment fund is to be spent for charitable purposes of the organization. 2023 endowment funds activity: $17,207 of the amount reported as 2023 investment earnings or losses results from a change in presentation of the audited financial statements endowment footnote in 2023. In column (a), the adjustment is included in total contributions.

PART X, LINE 2:

U.s. Gaap requires the organization's management to evaluate tax positions taken by the organization and 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 tax authorities. The organization's management has analyzed the tax positions taken by the organization, and has concluded that as of december 31, 2023, 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 examinations by the tax authorities; however, there are currently no examinations for any tax periods in progress. The organization's management believes the tax years from 2020 to 2023 are still subject to tax examinations.
