Pt VI, Line 2

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. However, if there would be significant changes to the organization, such as a merger or dissolution, members may vote on such issues.”

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

“Annually, conflict of interest statements are required to be signed by each Board member. The statements affirm that the policy has been read & either that no conflict of interest exists or discloses any such conflict.”

Pt VI, Line 15A

“The compensation for the Executive Director is reviewed annually by the Board of Trustees.”

Pt VI, Line 18

“Forms 1023 and 990 are available upon request.”

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 no income from unrelated business activities in the year ended May 31, 2018, 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 $16,718.”

Pt XII, Line 2D

“Fundraising Expense $16,718.”
