Financial Statement Notes

Part V, Line 4:

“Endowment fund earnings are to be used to fund scholarships for tour troupers and campers.”

Part X, Line 2:

“The Organization is exempt from federal and state income tax under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been recorded in the financial statements. Tax-exempt organizations could be required to record an obligation for income taxes as the result of a tax position they have historically taken on various tax exposure items including unrelated business income or tax status. Under guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), assets and liabilities are established for uncertain tax positions taken or positions expected to be taken in income tax returns when such positions are judged to not meet the "more-likely-than-not" threshold, based upon the technical merits of the position. The Organization has evaluated the position taken on its filed tax returns. The Organization has not taken, nor does it expect to take any uncertain tax positions in any income tax return.”

“Fundraising event expenses 3,652.”
