“Three trustees are in the same family. The other Trustees do not feel that there is any undue influence exerted.”

Pt VI, Line 7A

“The organization has members whose rights consist of being able to vote for members of the governing body. Members do not have control over day-to-day governance decisions.

Pt VI, Line 11B

“The 990 is prepared by independent accountants, reviewed by management and presented to the Board for review and comment.”

Pt VI, Line 12C

Pt VI, Line 15A

Pt VI, Line 18

Financial Statement Notes

Pt X, Line 2

“The Foundation is exempt from federal income taxes under 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Under the Code, however, income from certain activities not related to the organization's tax-exempt purpose may be subject to taxation as unrelated business income. The organization had less than $1,000 of income from unrelated business activities in the year ended May 31, 2015, and was, therefore, not required to file Federal Form 990-T (Exempt Organization Business Income Tax Return). The organization believes that it has appropriate support for all tax positions taken, and as such, does not have any uncertain tax positions that are material to the financial statements.”

Pt V, Line 4

“The purpose of the endowment is to generate investment income to supplement operating funds.”

Pt XI, Line 2D

“Fundraising Expense $6,950.”

Pt XII, Line 2D

“Fundraising Expense $6,950.”
