IRS990ScheduleA/Form990ScheduleAPartVIGrp/ExplanationTxt0The supported organization is a church that is not required to file Form 1023 for recognition of exemption under IRC Section 501(c)(3). The supported organization is a religious organization and receives substantially all of its income from public support. The supported organization does not carry on unrelated business activities.
IRS990ScheduleA/Form990ScheduleAPartVIGrp/ExplanationTxt1The officers and directors of this organization are congregation members of the supported organization. This organization works closely with the board of the supported organization to transfer funds when necessary. The boards of the two organizations have occasional discussions on how to best use this organization to further the exempt purpose of the supported organization.
IRS990ScheduleA/Form990ScheduleAPartVIGrp/ExplanationTxt2This organization raises funds for projects to which the Helmar Lutheran Church (the supported organization) is committed. These projects vary from year to year, but include community outreach activities such as the Helmar Food Pantry and Helmar Palooza.
IRS990ScheduleA/Form990ScheduleAPartVIGrp/ExplanationTxt3This organization raises funds for projects that the Helmar Lutheran Church (the supported organization) would otherwise need to raise itself.
