Additional Explanations

FORM 990, PART I, LINE 6:

“Volunteers assist with various administrative, program, event, and fundraising duties.”

Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

“Ecology center and recycle ann arbor are considered separate entities for tax purposes and are both exempt from federal income taxes under provisions of the internal revenue code section 501(c)(3). Donations to either organization qualify for the charitable contribution deduction. Neither is considered a private foundation. Accounting principles generally accepted in the united states of america require management to evaluate tax positions taken by the organization and recognize a tax liability if the organization has taken an uncertain tax position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. Management evaluated the organization's tax positions and concluded that the organization had taken no uncertain tax positions that require adjustment to the financial statements to comply with the provisions of this guidance.”

PART V LINE 4:

“Ecology center's endowment consists of four individual funds established for a variety of purposes. It includes both donor-restricted endowment funds and funds designated by the board of directors to function as endowments. As required by gaap, net assets associated with endowment funds are classified and reported based on the existence or absence of donor-imposed restrictions.”
