IRS990ScheduleR/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt1LINCOLN INITIATIVE, INC. IS AN ORGANIZATION WITH WHICH LINCOLN NETWORK, INC. SHARED COSTS (FOR G&A AND STAFFING, SUCH AS CONSULTANTS). THE ORGANIZATIONS DO SPLIT COSTS WITH EACH OTHER WHEN EFFICIENCIES CAN BE GAINED. FOR EXAMPLE, THE SHARED GOOGLE APPS FOR WORK ACCOUNT HAS THE CAPACITY FOR 20 USER PROFILES. EACH USER PROFILE CAN HAVE AN EMAIL ADDRESS AND ALIAS TIED TO IT, ALLOWING EACH ORGANIZATION TO SAVE $50 PER MONTH BECAUSE OF THE SPLIT. MANY SYSTEMS USED BY EACH ORGANIZATION HAVE SIMILAR CIRCUMSTANCES, SUCH AS OUR TASK MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, MASS EMAIL SOFTWARE AND EVENT MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE. OVERALL, THE SPLITTING OF COSTS ON SERVICES AVERAGES $500-$1K PER MONTH. THESE COSTS ARE TYPICALLY SPLIT DOWN THE MIDDLE, BUT IF THERE IS DISCERNABLY GREATER BENEFIT BY ONE ORGANIZATION THAN THE OTHER, MORE OF THE COST WILL BE ALLOCATED TO THAT ORGANIZATION.
