“The following is a summary of significant changes to the organization's bylaws that were approved by the board of directors in august 2024: 1. The fiscal year of the organization was updated to june 30. 2. The number of directors (permissive, not mandatory) was expanded to 24 from 18. 3.

Board member attendence requirements were set, include removal for failure to abide by the attendance requirements. 6. An updated and more extensive conflict of interest provision has been added.”

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

“Before the 990 is finalized, the organization's president provides the draft 990 prepared by the audit firm to members of the board of executive committee for their review and comment. The organization's treasurer shares his/her comments with the executive committee. After their review of his/her comments, any followup questions or concerns are communicated to the audit firm. The preparer responds to the executive committee's comments, if any. The preparer then provides a revised, final version of the 990. The executive committee approves the full, final version of the 990 and authorizes the preparer to file the return with the irs.”

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

“On an annual basis, each director, officer and voting committee member completes a conflict-of-interest disclosure statement. These statements are maintained and reviewed. The finance committee reviews for any changes in conflicts with existing members, and the executive committee reviews for new members, prior to entering any financial transactions with potential conflicts.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15

“Compensation for the organization's president is reviewed and approved by the board of directors. Comparability data is used in determining his/her salary. The organization documents the basis for its compensation determinations in the organization's meeting minutes or other internal documents, which are created at the time compensation is approved and reflect the reasons underlying particular compensation determinations.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

“Helping harvest has an open book policy of disclosure of information to the public. Governing documents are made available to anyone who asks for them.”

Financial Statement Notes

PART V, LINE 4:

“LONG TERM STABILITY”

PART X, LINE 2:

“The organization is exempt from federal income taxes under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code and, therefore, has made no provision for federal income taxes in the accompanying financial statements. There was no unrelated business income for the year ended june 30, 2024. The organization was organized under the pennsylvania non-profit law of 1988 and, as such, is exempt from state income taxes. The organization adheres to the provisions of fasb asc 740, income taxes. Asc 740 establishes rules for recognizing and measuring tax positions taken in an income tax return, including disclosures of uncertain tax positions (utps). Asc 740 mandates that companies evaluate all material income tax positions for periods that remain open under applicable statutes of limitation, as well as positions expected to be taken in future returns. The utp rules then impose a recognition threshold on each tax position. A company can recognize an income tax benefit only if the position has a "more likely than not" (i.e., more than 50 percent) chance of being sustained on the technical merits. For the year ended june 30, 2024, the organization has taken no material tax positions on its applicable tax filings that do not meet the "more likely than not" threshold. As a result, no amount for utps has been included in the financial statements. The organization's exempt organization business income tax returns are no longer subject to examination by the appropriate taxing authorities for the years prior to 2021.”
