Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

Pt VI, Line 2

“Ernesto hernandez, ernesto ian hernandez iv and megan m riley are family members”

Pt VI, Line 11B

“Prior to filing, Wounded Paw Projects full Form 990 is distributed to all governing board members as either paper or electronic copies for review. Board members are given a minimum of ten (10) days to provide comments or questions to the Treasurer and Founder of WPP. The Treasurer addresses all inquiries and circulates any necessary revisions for final confirmation. Board members acknowledge their review and approval either verbally or in writing. Once all confirmations are received, the finalized Form 990 is submitted to the IRS to ensure transparency, accuracy, and full board oversight. After approval the President then signs form 8879-EO. Then return is filed electronically.”

Pt XI

“Net accrual to cash adjustments to reconcile to audit”

Pt VI, Line 12C

“Wounded Paw Project conducts an annual conflict of interest compliance review to ensure transparency and accountability. Each January, all officers, directors, trustees, and key employees receive the Conflict-of-Interest Policy and must complete a disclosure form by January 31. The Board Chair, Treasurer, and Secretary review all disclosures, document any potential conflicts, and determine appropriate safeguards or recusals. New or potential conflicts identified during the year are disclosed immediately and reviewed by the same officers before related transactions proceed. All disclosures, decisions, and recusals are recorded in the organizations records and maintained for seven years.”

Pt VI, Line 15A

“Wounded Paw Project (WPP) operates with a lean and transparent financial structure. The CEO/Founder, Ernesto P. Hernandez III, does not receive any compensation for his leadership role. As a retired U.S. military veteran, he lives on his military retirement income and chooses to lead WPP as an unpaid volunteer.”

Pt VI, Line 15B

“No board members receive compensation for their service.”

IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt	1	Prior to filing, Wounded Paw Projects full Form 990 is distributed to all governing board members as either paper or electronic copies for review. Board members are given a minimum of ten (10) days to provide comments or questions to the Treasurer and Founder of WPP. The Treasurer addresses all inquiries and circulates any necessary revisions for final confirmation. Board members acknowledge their review and approval either verbally or in writing. Once all confirmations are received, the finalized Form 990 is submitted to the IRS to ensure transparency, accuracy, and full board oversight. After approval the President then signs form 8879-EO. Then return is filed electronically.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt	2	Net accrual to cash adjustments to reconcile to audit
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt	3	Wounded Paw Project conducts an annual conflict of interest compliance review to ensure transparency and accountability. Each January, all officers, directors, trustees, and key employees receive the Conflict-of-Interest Policy and must complete a disclosure form by January 31. The Board Chair, Treasurer, and Secretary review all disclosures, document any potential conflicts, and determine appropriate safeguards or recusals. New or potential conflicts identified during the year are disclosed immediately and reviewed by the same officers before related transactions proceed. All disclosures, decisions, and recusals are recorded in the organizations records and maintained for seven years.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt	4	Wounded Paw Project (WPP) operates with a lean and transparent financial structure. The CEO/Founder, Ernesto P. Hernandez III, does not receive any compensation for his leadership role. As a retired U.S. military veteran, he lives on his military retirement income and chooses to lead WPP as an unpaid volunteer.
