Additional Explanations

FORM 990 - ORGANIZATION'S MISSION

“The foundation's principal purpose shall be exclusively to be a charitable organization engaged in activities designed to defend and advance human and civil rights secured by law, specifically defending and advancing the rights of citizens to own and use firearms for all legal activities, including, but not limited to, self-defense, hunting, competition and recreation.”

Form 990, Part XI, Line 9

“Accrual vs cash basis adj -67,994 the tax reporting basis for income and expenses has always been the cash method even though accrual basis books exist so the page 11 balance sheet shows accruals of receivables and payables. The unusually large reduction of the receivables in 2024 is due to determinings a number of years of previously booked receivables were either uncollectible or had been duplicated resulting in a write off against beginning equity of 67,072 instead of being called bad debt even for the accrual book method.”

IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0THE FOUNDATION'S PRINCIPAL PURPOSE SHALL BE EXCLUSIVELY TO BE A CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION ENGAGED IN ACTIVITIES DESIGNED TO DEFEND AND ADVANCE HUMAN AND CIVIL RIGHTS SECURED BY LAW, SPECIFICALLY DEFENDING AND ADVANCING THE RIGHTS OF CITIZENS TO OWN AND USE FIREARMS FOR ALL LEGAL ACTIVITIES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, SELF-DEFENSE, HUNTING, COMPETITION AND RECREATION.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt1THE 990 WAS REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE ORGANIZATION BEFORE BEING FILED WITH THE IRS.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt2THE BYLAWS REQUIRE DISCLOSURE IF A CONFLICT ARISES AT ANY TIME. SINCE THE ORGANIZATION IS SMALL AND USES A SMALL NUMBER OF VENDORS, POTENTIAL FINANCIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST THAT MAY ARISE ARE ABLE TO BE READILY MONITORED.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt3THE ORGANIZATION'S GOVERNING DOCUMENTS ARE PROVIDED FOR INSPECTION UPON REQUEST TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC ANY TIME DURING THE YEAR. THIS CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED VIA FAX, EMAIL, OR OTHER METHODS THAT ARE MUTUALLY AVAILABLE.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt4ACCRUAL VS CASH BASIS ADJ -67,994 THE TAX REPORTING BASIS FOR INCOME AND EXPENSES HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE CASH METHOD EVEN THOUGH ACCRUAL BASIS BOOKS EXIST SO THE PAGE 11 BALANCE SHEET SHOWS ACCRUALS OF RECEIVABLES AND PAYABLES. THE UNUSUALLY LARGE REDUCTION OF THE RECEIVABLES IN 2024 IS DUE TO DETERMININGS A NUMBER OF YEARS OF PREVIOUSLY BOOKED RECEIVABLES WERE EITHER UNCOLLECTIBLE OR HAD BEEN DUPLICATED RESULTING IN A WRITE OFF AGAINST BEGINNING EQUITY OF 67,072 INSTEAD OF BEING CALLED BAD DEBT EVEN FOR THE ACCRUAL BOOK METHOD.
