Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

FORM 990, PART XII, LINE 2C:

“The organization has a committee that is responsible under its governing documents or through delegation by its governing body for (i) overseeing the compilation, review, or audit of the financial statements, and (ii) the selection of an independent accountant that compiled, reviewed, or audited the statements.”

Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

“Income taxes the organization is exempt from federal and state income taxes under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code but is subject to income tax on net unrelated business income. The organization had no unrelated business income tax in the year ending 6/30/2025. The organization reviews income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns to determine if there are any income tax uncertainties. This includes positions that the entity is exempt from income taxes or not subject to income taxes on unrelated business income. The organization recognizes tax benefits from uncertain tax positions only if it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the positions. The organization has identified no significant income tax uncertainties. The organization files information returns as a tax-exempt organization. Should that status be challenged in the future, all years since inception could be subject to review by the irs.”

PART XI, LINE 2D - OTHER ADJUSTMENTS:

“Fundraising revenue recorded net of expenses 28,738. Contributed financial services 8,221.”

PART XII, LINE 2D - OTHER ADJUSTMENTS:

“Fundraising expense recorded in revenues as net 28,738. Contributed financial services 8,221.”
