Additional Explanations

Part X11, Line 2C Explanation

“The organization has a committee that assumes responsibility for oversight of the audit and its financial statements and selection of an independent accountant. This process did not change from the prior year.”

Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

“The organization is a tax-exempt organization as defined by section 501(c)(4) of the internal revenue code, though it is subject to tax on income unrelated to its exempt purpose, unless that income is otherwise excluded by the code. The organization has processes presently in place to ensure the maintenance of its tax-exempt status; to identify and report unrelated income; to determine its filing and tax obligations in jurisdictions for which it has nexus; and to identify and evaluate other matters that may be considered tax positions. The organization has determined that there are no material uncertain tax positions that require recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.”
