Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

Form 990, Part X, Line 10:

Ten Mile Chapel (TMC) operates on a cash basis of accounting and previously filed Form 990-N since its most recent determination date. This is the TMC's first year filing a full Form 990 since determination in 2012. The organization does not capitalize building improvements, nor maintain a formal fixed asset capitalization policy. Because TMC's exempt purpose is the preservation and operation of a historic building for community use, land and building assets were reported on Part X to enhance transparency. Asset values were based on local tax assessor records beginning at TMC's exempt organization determination date. Accumulated depreciation was recorded for the building only using a straight line method. Earlier depreciation was not recorded due to historical record limitations and periods of inactive exempt status. The reporting of land and building assets does not represent a change in the TMC's accounting method. The property itself has been held by TMC since approx. 1975.

Form 990, Part X, Line 11:

Investment Disclosure: Ten Mile Chapel (TMC) operates on a cash basis of accounting and historically filed Form 990-N. During the 2025 tax year, TMC received an unsolicited and unexpected estate gift consisting of a portfolio of publicly traded securities. Although the contribution constituted a noncash gift for reporting purposes, the securities were readily marketable and placed under the TMC's control upon receipt. In the interest of transparency and complete reporting of the organizations financial position and activities, TMC elected to file a full Form 990 for the year rather than Form 990-N. Investment income earned during the year (reinvested dividends & interest) is reported in accordance with Form 990 instructions to reflect the organizations full investment activity. TMC continues to apply cash basis accounting consistently. TMC has also adopted a formal Investment Policy to ensure that the unexpected gift continues to support the organizations long-term sustainability in service of its exempt purpose.

IRS990ScheduleA/Form990ScheduleAPartVIGrp/ExplanationTxt0Unusual Grant Narrative: During the 2025 tax year, Ten Mile Chapel (TMC) received an unexpected estate gift consisting of an investment portfolio. The gift was not previously known to the organization, was unsolicited, and was not part of any ongoing or anticipated fundraising activity. TMC became aware of the gift only upon notification by the estate. Based on a facts-and-circumstances analysis, TMC determined that this contribution met the definition of an unusual grant under Treasury Regulations 1.170A-9(f)(6) and applicable IRS guidance. Specifically, the contribution was unexpected, nonrecurring, and of a size and character that would otherwise adversely affect TMC's public support calculation. Accordingly, the contribution was reported as contribution revenue, but excluded from the public support calculation on Schedule A. The contribution was also reported in Schedules B and M. After becoming aware of the unexpected gift, TMC also attempted to exercise due diligence by submitting Form 8940, Request for Miscellaneous Determination, to seek IRS review of the unusual grant determination. The request was not reviewed because it was submitted after the contribution had already been received. Prior to 2025, TMC's activities were limited in scope, and it consistently filed Form 990-N. TMC continues to operate as a publicly supported organization and believes the exclusion of this contribution from public support is appropriate based on the relevant facts and circumstances.

IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt1The Form 990 is reviewed and approved by the entire board before filing with the IRS.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt2These documents are available upon request.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt3Ten Mile Chapel (TMC) operates on a cash basis of accounting and previously filed Form 990-N since its most recent determination date. This is the TMC's first year filing a full Form 990 since determination in 2012. The organization does not capitalize building improvements, nor maintain a formal fixed asset capitalization policy. Because TMC's exempt purpose is the preservation and operation of a historic building for community use, land and building assets were reported on Part X to enhance transparency. Asset values were based on local tax assessor records beginning at TMC's exempt organization determination date. Accumulated depreciation was recorded for the building only using a straight line method. Earlier depreciation was not recorded due to historical record limitations and periods of inactive exempt status. The reporting of land and building assets does not represent a change in the TMC's accounting method. The property itself has been held by TMC since approx. 1975.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt4Investment Disclosure: Ten Mile Chapel (TMC) operates on a cash basis of accounting and historically filed Form 990-N. During the 2025 tax year, TMC received an unsolicited and unexpected estate gift consisting of a portfolio of publicly traded securities. Although the contribution constituted a noncash gift for reporting purposes, the securities were readily marketable and placed under the TMC's control upon receipt. In the interest of transparency and complete reporting of the organizations financial position and activities, TMC elected to file a full Form 990 for the year rather than Form 990-N. Investment income earned during the year (reinvested dividends & interest) is reported in accordance with Form 990 instructions to reflect the organizations full investment activity. TMC continues to apply cash basis accounting consistently. TMC has also adopted a formal Investment Policy to ensure that the unexpected gift continues to support the organizations long-term sustainability in service of its exempt purpose.
