Supplemental Narrative

Financial Statement Notes

Schedule D, Page 2, Part IV, Line 2B

“The organization holds funds for the benefit of a member's local chapter. Interest earned on the principal is remitted pro rata to each endowed member's chapter. The grand chapter receives the interest in the event of the chapter's demise.”

Schedule D, Page 2, Part V, Line 4

“The endowment fund's principle must be invested in perpetuity, and the income from endowment investments may be spent for the benefit of the retirement home and for educational scholarships as authorized and approved by the grand chapter.”

Schedule D, Page 3, Part X

“The grand chapter is a nonprofit organization that is exempt from federal income taxes under section 501(c)(8) of the internal revenue code as other than a private foundation, except on net income derived from unrelated business activities. For the years ended august 31, 2018 and 2017, the organization has not conducted unrelated business activities that are material to the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes is included in the financial statements. The organization believes that it has appropriate support for any tax positions taken, and as such, does not have any uncertain tax positions that are material to the financial statements. Tax returns of the organization for the years 2015, 2016, and 2017 are open to examination by the relevant tax authorities for a period of three years from the date the returns are filed.”
