Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

Part I, Line 16

We are a small volunteer-run organization and the vast majority of our donations were from individual donors in small amounts (less than $1000). This year a large portion of our effort was spent revitalizing the Onward Oceans Center on Catalina Island, which we are repairing using volunteer labor and donated materials. We also ran successful children's camps and provided the community with several events and meetups, including our biweekly meditation event, a hiking club, and one-off gatherings like our beach cleanup, our Burger Bash event, and other community-oriented programming. We rely on donations of cash and noncash donations, as well as on program revenue, to support our nonprofit mission. Below is a breakdown of other expenses not enumerated in other sections of the 990, including cash expenses and expenses in the form of noncash donations utilized for our programming. OTHER CASH EXPENSES TOTAL: $18325 Itemized - Total Advertising & marketing: $1,098.32 Bank fees: $32.50 Total Insurance: $4,816.34 Total Meals: $965.89 Programming materials & supplies (Art supplies, outdoors gear for camps, safety equipment, decorations, food for camps & adult programs, marine equipment for Catalina programming): $8,710.84 Total Vehicle expenses (Parking, Onward sailboat registration, volunteer gas, tolls): $435.72 Travel for conferences & meetings: $515.21 Reimbursements for Ocean Center Building & Repair Materials: $1750 NONCASH DONATIONS/EXPENSES TOTAL: $43798.75 Itemized - Sailboat Donation, Santa Monica Bay Sailing Foundation: $15000 Kayaks, individual donors, various: $3000 Floating dock: $200 Lumber, BFS Group of CA: $15000 Kitchen: 598.75 Tools, various individual donors: $10000
