Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

Pt VI, Line 11B

“The Form 990 is reviewed by the Vice President before it is given to the board of directors at the next monthly meeting.”

Pt VI, Line 12C

“Enforced as necessary. Any board member with a conflict of interest on any specific issue informs the board and abstains from voting on the issue.”

Pt VI, Line 15A

“The board of directors sets the executive directors salary after a check of comparable salary information for similar organizations with similar budgets.”

Pt XII, Line 3B

“The Audit of the Financial Statements was in progress at the time of the filing the Form 990.”

Financial Statement Notes

Pt II, Line 9

“WNC Communities 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 organizations tax-exempt purpose may be subject to taxation as unrelated business income. The organization had no income from unrelated business activities in Fiscal year 2023- 2024 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”

IRS990/Desc0Each year since 1949, WNCC has evaluated the applications of community centers across 20 counties in WNC and given cash awards to a network of over 70 community centers that have offered quality programs to serve their residents needs. Each November, the WNC Awards event brings these community clubs together to celebrate and receive recognition and cash awards for the work they have accomplished during the year. In 2023, 67 participating communities received over $64,000 (donated by WNC business and industry) in awards to recognize their hard work. These good deeds represented 7951 volunteers, clocking 28,456 volunteer hours, representing an estimated $5.6 million investment of time, talent, and money benefitting rural residents in WNC. These efforts include providing food pantries, meals, assistance with accessing medical care, affordable rental space for events, family- oriented social gatherings, free wi-fi, business incubation, afterschool programs, and more.
