Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

Pt VI, Line 11B

“The 990 is prepared by a CPA firm, reviewed by management, and presented to the board for review, proposed changes and final approval before filing.”

Pt VI, Line 15A

“In the annual budgeting process, the board approves a budget line for aggregate salary expense. Thereafter, individual salaries and salary increases for employees are determined by the executive director. The board of directors set the executive directors salary after a check of comparable salary information for similar organizations with similar budgets.”

Pt VI, Line 19

“Form 990 and governing documents are made available upon request.”

Pt XII, Line 1

“The records of HIGHTS are maintained on the modified- cash basis of accounting and the accompanying statements have been prepared on that basis. Modifications to the cash-basis method include capitalization and depreciation of property and equipment, accrual of credit card, payroll tax expense, and loan activity if present. All other transactions are recognized as either cash basis revenues or expenses.”

Pt VI, Line 12C

“Enforced as necessary. Any Board Member with a conflict of interest on any specific issue informs the Board and abstains from voting on the issue.”

Pt III, Line 2

“HIGHTS expanded services by providing food delivery and transporation assistance through HOP Program. In addition, HIGHTS added Mediation Services and restorative services to individuals on the Qualla Boundry.”

Financial Statement Notes

Pt X, Line 2

“HIGHTS is exempt from federal income taxes under 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Under the Code, however, income from certain activities not related to an organizations tax-exempt purpose may be subject to taxation as unrelated business income. HIGHTS had no income from unrelated business activities in fiscal year 2023-2024 and was, therefore, not required to file Federal Form 990-T (Exempt Organization Business Income Tax Return). HIGHTS believes that it has appropriate support for all tax positions taken, and as such, does not have any uncertain tax positions that are material to the financial statements.”

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0Therapeutic Counseling Services - HIGHTS engaged 155 youth in therapy services in 2023-24 This includes youth seen through outpatient therapy services, group therapy services, intensive in-home treatment, and addictions treatment. HIGHTS provides these services in different capacities in the seven westernmost counties of Western North Carolina. This region is rural and extremely underserved with therapeutic services due to limited resources and a lack of providers.
IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0Workforce Development- This program serves youth ages 16-24 in Jackson, Macon, Swain, Graham, Clay, and Cherokee Counties that have dropped out of school or are otherwise disengaged. This program helps participants overcome boundaries and lack of resources to assist youth in attaining their GEDs, engaging in the workforce and attaining a meaningful credential. This program provides assistance with gas mileage, childcare and other emergency needs that get in the way of underserved youth receiving a credential or diploma. HIGHTS provides eight weeks of paid work experience in a workplace, so youth gain valuable and meaningful work experience and often find employment with the same company they do this work experience with. HIGHTS Workforce development served 232 participants in 2023-24
