Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

Pt III, Line 3

During 2014, the Charlotte chapter was in between hospital partnerships, having ended its relationship with Presbyterian Hospital in 2013. The position of Program Director was eliminated while working toward establishing a new hospital partnership with Levine Children's Hospital (which started in early 2015).

Pt VI, Line 10B

Arts For Life has 3 chapters in Asheville, Winston-Salem & Durham. Each chapter has a program director onsite overseeing day-to-day operations. The Executive Director and various Board members regularly perform onsite visits to oversee operations.

Pt VI, Line 11B

The 990 is prepared by independent accountants and reviewed by management. At the first meeting of the Board following the filing of the 990 with the IRS, the complete Form is presented to the Board. Thereafter, questions are taken and the Form, its preparation, and its public relation impact discussed.

Pt VI, Line 12C

Annual 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 Executive Director proposes staff salaries as part of the budgeting process, and those are approved or amended by the board prior to the approval of the budget. The Board of Directors sets the Executive Director's salary after a performance review and a check of comparable salary information for nonprofit organizations with similar budgets.

Pt VI, Line 18

Forms 1023 and 990 are available upon request.

Pt VI, Line 19

Governing documents, conflict of interest policy and reviewed financial statements are available upon request.

Pt VIII

The organization received distributions of $18,809 from endowments held on behalf of Arts For Life, but for which Arts For Life has no ownership or variance power. The distributions are included in Line 1f of Contributions on page 9.

Pt XI

As a result of the 2014 review there was a $27,500 decrease in net assets in the financial reports related to an adjustment to deferred revenue.

Financial Statement Notes

Pt X, Line 2

The organization 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 2014 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.

IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0The organization 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 2014 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.

IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0During 2014, the Charlotte chapter was in between hospital partnerships, having ended its relationship with Presbyterian Hospital in 2013. The position of Program Director was eliminated while working toward establishing a new hospital partnership with Levine Children's Hospital (which started in early 2015).
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt1Arts For Life has 3 chapters in Asheville, Winston-Salem & Durham. Each chapter has a program director onsite overseeing day-to-day operations. The Executive Director and various Board members regularly perform onsite visits to oversee operations.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt2The 990 is prepared by independent accountants and reviewed by management. At the first meeting of the Board following the filing of the 990 with the IRS, the complete Form is presented to the Board. Thereafter, questions are taken and the Form, its preparation, and its public relation impact discussed.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt3Annual 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.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt4The Executive Director proposes staff salaries as part of the budgeting process, and those are approved or amended by the board prior to the approval of the budget. The Board of Directors sets the Executive Director's salary after a performance review and a check of comparable salary information for nonprofit organizations with similar budgets.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt5Forms 1023 and 990 are available upon request.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt6Governing documents, conflict of interest policy and reviewed financial statements are available upon request.
