Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

Form 990, Part XII, Line 1:

“Unlike the prior year Form 990 which was reported under the accrual basis of accounting, the current year Form 990 is under the cash basis. In the current year, grants payable is removed from Part X, line 18 but instead included on line 32 to better reflect the cash basis of accounting.”

Financial Statement Notes

Part X, Line 2:

“The Chapter is exempt from Federal income taxes under Section 501(c)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code, and is not a private foundation within the meaning of Section 509(c) of the Code. Accordingly, no provision has been made for income taxes in the accompanying financial statement. All income received and recorded during the year was related to the Chapter's tax-exempt purpose. The provisions included in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America provide consistent guidance for the accounting of uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity's financial statements and prescribe a threshold of "more likely than not" for recognition of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Chapter performed an evaluation of uncertain tax positions as of April 30, 2016, and determined that there were no matters that would require recognition in the financial statements or, which may have any effect on its tax-exempt status. As of April 30, 2016, the statute of limitations for fiscal years 2012 through 2015 remains open with the U.S. Federal jurisdiction or the various state and local jurisdictions in which the Chapters files tax returns.”

Part XI, Line 2D - Other Adjustments:

“Direct fundraising expenses 41,314.”

Part XII, Line 2D - Other Adjustments:

“Direct fundraising expenses 41,314.”

IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0The Chapter is exempt from Federal income taxes under Section 501(c)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code, and is not a private foundation within the meaning of Section 509(c) of the Code. Accordingly, no provision has been made for income taxes in the accompanying financial statement. All income received and recorded during the year was related to the Chapter's tax-exempt purpose. The provisions included in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America provide consistent guidance for the accounting of uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity's financial statements and prescribe a threshold of "more likely than not" for recognition of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Chapter performed an evaluation of uncertain tax positions as of April 30, 2016, and determined that there were no matters that would require recognition in the financial statements or, which may have any effect on its tax-exempt status. As of April 30, 2016, the statute of limitations for fiscal years 2012 through 2015 remains open with the U.S. Federal jurisdiction or the various state and local jurisdictions in which the Chapters files tax returns.
