IRS990ScheduleA/Form990ScheduleAPartVIGrp/ExplanationTxt1The organization has been in existence for more than five years but in the past was within the threshold to file Form 990-N. Complete financial records were available to compute the public support percentage for the applicable five-year period.
IRS990ScheduleA/Form990ScheduleAPartVIGrp/ExplanationTxt2The organization calculated public support based on revenue from membership dues and admissions to HWAA events (competitions). Membership dues allow teams to participate in events organized by HWAA, and admissions revenue relates directly to our exempt purpose of promoting the winter arts performances and education.
