“THE ORGANIZATION'S OFFICERS ARE COMPENSATED BY The American Legion, A RELATED TAX-EXEMPT ORGANIZATION AND THE ORGANIZATION'S SOLE CORPORATE MEMBER. THE LANGUAGE BELOW EXPLAINS THE PROCESS UNDERTAKEN BY The American Legion TO REVIEW OFFICER COMPENSATION. Tthe Compensation Committee annually reviews the salaries/honorariums of officers and key employees of the organization. This review includes the following positions: National Commander, National Judge Advocate, National Treasurer, and the 3 Executive Directors. The committee uses compensation surveys gathered by the Human Resources department to help determine an appropriate level of compensation. The content of the meetings is documented in minutes. This process was last undertaken in October 2024. DUE TO THE FACT THAT OFFICER COMPENSATION IS DETERMINED BY A RELATED ORGANIZATION OF THE AMERICAN LEGION CHILD WELFARE FOUNDATION, FORM 990 PART VI LINES 15A AND LINE 15B ARE INTENTIONALLY ANSWERED 'NO' IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE IRS INSTRUCTIONS TO THE FORM 990.”
“The sole member of American Legion Child Welfare Foundation is American Legion National Headquarters (ALNH).”
“American Legion National Headquarters (ALNH), has the right to elect members to the governing body of American Legion Child Welfare Foundation.”
“The organization does not have any committees with the authority to act on its behalf.”
“The organization's management reviews the Form 990 in detail. Then, a copy of the Form 990 is provided to every member of the governing body before it is filed with the IRS.”
“The governing documents and financial statements of American Legion Child Welfare Foundation are available upon request.”
“The Foundation is exempt from income taxes on income from related activities under Section 501(c)(3) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code and corresponding state tax law. Accordingly, no provision has been made for federal or state income taxes. Additionally, the Foundation has been determined not to be a private foundation under Section 509(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. GAAP requires the Foundation to disclose the amount of potential benefit or obligation to be realized as a result of an examination performed by a taxing authority. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, management has determined that the Foundation does not have any tax positions that result in any uncertainties regarding the possible impact on the Foundation's financial statements. The Foundation does not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to significantly change in the next 12 months. The Foundation recognizes interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. The Foundation did not have any amounts accrued for interest and penalties at December 31, 2024 and 2023.”

| IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 0 | The Foundation is exempt from income taxes on income from related activities under Section 501(c)(3) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code and corresponding state tax law. Accordingly, no provision has been made for federal or state income taxes. Additionally, the Foundation has been determined not to be a private foundation under Section 509(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. GAAP requires the Foundation to disclose the amount of potential benefit or obligation to be realized as a result of an examination performed by a taxing authority. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, management has determined that the Foundation does not have any tax positions that result in any uncertainties regarding the possible impact on the Foundation's financial statements. The Foundation does not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to significantly change in the next 12 months. The Foundation recognizes interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. The Foundation did not have any amounts accrued for interest and penalties at December 31, 2024 and 2023. |
