Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

Pt VI, Line 11B

“The treasurer reviews the preparation of the form 990 with the independent audit firm and resolves any questions before circulating the form 990 to the full board of directors for approval before filing.”

Pt VI, Line 15A

“The board of directors votes and approves the compensation and benefits of the co-directors after an informal compensation survey is performed.”

Pt VI, Line 19

“The organization makes its governing documents available to the public upon receiving written request. These documents are also available online on the secretary of state's website.”

Pt VI, Line 2

“The co-directors are husband and wife.”

Pt XII, Line 1

“The organization changed its method of accounting from the cash basis of reporting to the accrual basis of reporting.”

Pt XI

“Cumulative prior period adjustments were made to restate the beginning balance of net assets for the cash basis to accrual basis of reporting and record net assets with donor restrictions.”

Form 990, Part III, Line 4D

“Logitudinal study - a two-year evaluation 34500. 0. 0.”

Financial Statement Notes

Pt X, Line 2

“Accounting standards require an entity to evaluate its tax positions and provide for a liability from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. Management has evaluated its tax positions and has concluded that a provision for a tax liability is not necessary at december 31, 2019.”
