Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

Form 990, Part V, Lines 1C, 2B, 7G & 7H

The organization did not receive contributions of qualified intellectual property and was therefore not required to file form 8899. Likewise, there were no contributions of cars, boats, airplanes, or other vehicles and form 1098-c was not required. The organization did not have any reportable gaming (gambling) winnings to prize winners and therefore the backup withholding rules did not apply.
