“The proper completion of Form 990 requires organizations to report the activity from fundraising events that substantially further the organization's exempt purpose in Part VIII, Line 8c and Form 990, Schedule G, Part II, Line 11. Fundraising events often generate both contributions and income, such as when an individual pays more than the retail value for goods or services furnished. During the year ended 2016, Space on the Farm conducted four successful fundraising events that generated contribution revenue amounting to $72,698. This contribution revenue is required to be reported on Part VIII, line 1C of the Form 990 as contributions from fundraising events per the IRS instructions. This resulted in a loss from fundraising events in the amount of $19,258 but an overall net gain of $53,440.”
