Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

Part I, Line 1

“The primary purpose for which the corporation is formed is to stimulate, preserve,promote and sustain interest in and appreciation of american and international roots music including bluegrass, folk, americana, alternative country, blues and other forms of innovative grassroots music, and to encourage and facilitate the creation and performancce of such music.”

Part XI, Line 9

“This difference is due to the fact that this year, there was a partnership interest transfer which caused the Foundation to own 100% of the LLC interest. This amount reconciles the difference between the FMV of the interest and the basis of the assets.”

IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt2NO OTHER DOCUMENTS AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt3This difference is due to the fact that this year, there was a partnership interest transfer which caused the Foundation to own 100% of the LLC interest. This amount reconciles the difference between the FMV of the interest and the basis of the assets.
