Additional Explanations

FORM 990, PART XII, LINE 2C:

“The form 990 is prepared by an independent accounting firm based on the audited financial statements and information provided by the accounting department of the organization. A draft copy of the proposed form 990 is reviewed by the president, ceo, and the board chair before it is presented to the organization's board of directors in advance of filing for review.

Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

“The organization is exempt from federal income taxes under section 501(c)(4) of the internal revenue code (the "code"), except on net income derived from unrelated business activities as defined in the code. Accordingly, the organization files as a tax exempt organization. The organization follows guidance issued by the fasb on accounting for income taxes and has evaluated its tax positions, expiring statutes of limitations, audits, proposed settlements, changes in tax law and new authoritative rulings, and believes that no provision for income taxes is necessary to cover any uncertain tax positions. The organization's returns for tax years 2019 and later remain subject to examination by taxing authorities.”
