Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

General explanation attachment

“Federal Form 990 is prepared using generally accepted accounting principles except where mandated otherwise by Internal Revenue Service regulations. Thus, contribution revenues are reported on the accrual basis; that is, when donors, such as foundations, communicate to GBI a promise to give a contribution or grant, the promise to give is recorded as a receivable and revenue at that time. During the year ended December 31, 2018, GBI received a promise to give of $1,200,000, which was received during 2019. Likewise, during the year ended December 31, 2019, GBI received a promise to give of $900,000, which was received during 2020. Thus, GBIs contributions revenue using the cash basis results in higher contribution revenue for 2019 than under the accrual basis of accounting.”

IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0The Form 990 has been reviewed by the treasurer and a copy has been provided to each board member before filing. No formal review has or will take place.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt1Annually, all officers, trustees and employees of the organization shall complete the annual reporting statement. Anyone with a real or perceived conflict of interest will be excused from any or all portion of discussions, voting or execution of agreements.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt2The governing documents, conflict of interest policy and financial statements are available upon request of and approval by the board of directors.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt3Federal Form 990 is prepared using generally accepted accounting principles except where mandated otherwise by Internal Revenue Service regulations. Thus, contribution revenues are reported on the accrual basis; that is, when donors, such as foundations, communicate to GBI a promise to give a contribution or grant, the promise to give is recorded as a receivable and revenue at that time. During the year ended December 31, 2018, GBI received a promise to give of $1,200,000, which was received during 2019. Likewise, during the year ended December 31, 2019, GBI received a promise to give of $900,000, which was received during 2020. Thus, GBIs contributions revenue using the cash basis results in higher contribution revenue for 2019 than under the accrual basis of accounting.
