Supplemental Narrative
Financial Statement Notes
PART X, LINE 2:
“The society and the fund follow the standards for accounting for uncertainty in income taxes according to the principles of fasb asc 740, income taxes, which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the consolidated financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. It requires management to evaluate tax positions taken by the society and the fund, including whether the entity is exempt from income taxes. Management evaluated the tax positions taken and concluded that the society and the fund had taken no uncertain tax positions that require recognition or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements. With few exceptions, the society and the fund are subject to income tax examinations by the u.s. Federal, state, or local tax authorities for the preceding 3 years, generally 3 years after the forms have been filed.”

| IRS990ScheduleI/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 0 | AT THE BEGINNING OF EACH FISCAL YEAR, THE BOARD DETERMINES A BUDGET FOR TOTAL GRANTS TO BE AWARDED. ORGANIZATIONS CAN REQUEST GRANTS UP TO $5,000. HIGHER AMOUNTS MAY BE REQUESTED ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS NOT TO EXCEED $15,000. ORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE INTERESTED IN APPLYING FOR GRANTS MUST COMPLETE AND SUBMIT AN APPLICATION. APPLICATIONS FOR GRANTS MAY BE SUBMITTED BY NRHS CHAPTERS AND BY ENTITIES WHICH ARE NOT CHAPTERS. APPLICATIONS FROM AN NRHS CHAPTER OR APPLICATIONS SUPPORTED BY AN NRHS CHAPTER ARE GIVEN SPECIAL CONSIDERATION, AND, IF TWO APPLICATIONS ARE OF EQUAL MERIT AND ONE IS FROM A CHAPTER, THE APPLICATION FROM THE CHAPTER WILL BE GIVEN PREFERENCE FOR AN AWARD. AN ENTITY MAY RECEIVE GRANTS IN TWO (2) CONSECUTIVE YEARS, BUT THEN MAY NOT APPLY AGAIN UNTIL A YEAR HAS PASSED. ENTITIES APPLYING MUST BE QUALIFIED AS 501(C)(3) ORGANIZATIONS. UPON SELECTION, THE APPLICATION WILL BE FORWARDED TO COUNSEL FOR REVIEW AND APPROVAL SIGNATURE AND TO TREASURER FOR DISBURSEMENT OF FUNDS. ENTITIES RECEIVING A GRANT ARE EXPECTED TO MAKE ANNUAL REPORTS ON PROGRESS MADE ON THE PROJECT FOR WHICH A GRANT WAS RECEIVED. THE NRHS HERITAGE GRANTS COMMITTEE'S PRIMARY CONCERN IS THE QUALITY AND HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE OF THE PRESERVATION PROJECTS PROPOSED IN THE APPLICATION AND THE ABILITY OF THE APPLICANT ORGANIZATION TO CARRY OUT THE PROJECT, INCLUDING THE HISTORICAL IMPORTANCE OF THE PRESERVATION PROJECT, THE APPLICANT'S ABILITY TO RAISE MATCHING FUNDS AND/OR TO PROVIDE VOLUNTEER LABOR, PLUS SUCH MATTERS AS THE PORTION THAT THE NRHS-FUNDED SEGMENT WILL CONSTITUTE OF A LARGER PROJECT AND THE ACKNOWLEDGMENT WHICH NRHS WILL RECEIVE FOR ITS CONTRIBUTION. BECAUSE OF LIMITED FUNDING AVAILABLE NRHS DISFAVORS PARTICIPATION IN LARGE PROJECTS. PROJECTS HAVING REVENUE PRODUCTION AS A MAJOR PURPOSE ARE ALSO DISFAVORED. |
