Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

Form 990, Part XI, Line 8

“The prior period adjustment primarily accounts for a correction to the depreciation rate applied to a fixed asset acquired in 2022. The revised depreciation better reflects the asset's salvage value and aligns with internal accounting policies. The cumulative effect of the change has been applied retrospectively, resulting in an adjustment to the beginning net assets balance which represents the difference between accumulated depreciation under the prior depreciation rate and the current depreciation rate. This change does not impact the computation of any taxable income.”

IRS990ScheduleL/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0On September 1, 2022, the organization entered into a lease agreement with Jamiah Hargins, a board member and officer, for office and farming space. The monthly rent of $2,960 was approved by the disinterested members of the board and is consistent with fair market value lease rates for comparable spaces, representing terms that would be available in an arm's length transaction.

IRS990/ScheduleORequiredInd0true
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0Jamiah Hargins and Ginnia Hargins are husband and wife.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt1A copy of the Form 990 was provided to the officers and directors for review and comment prior to filing.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt2Upon engagement, election, or hiring, directors, officers, and key employees agree to comply with the conflict of interest policy and to disclose any conflicts of interest, which are then handled in accordance with the policy.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt3It is the organization's policy that compensation of any director, officer, or key employee is reasonable. Determination of reasonableness entails gathering relevant market data followed by review, deliberation, and written approval by a disinterested board.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt4See response to Form 990, Part VI, Line 15a.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt5The organization's Form 1023 and Form 990 returns are accessible to the public through the California Attorney General Charities Registry. The organization can also make such documents available upon written request.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt6Documents subject to public disclosure or inspection are accessible through the California Attorney General Charities Registry or can be made available upon written request to the organization.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt7The prior period adjustment primarily accounts for a correction to the depreciation rate applied to a fixed asset acquired in 2022. The revised depreciation better reflects the asset's salvage value and aligns with internal accounting policies. The cumulative effect of the change has been applied retrospectively, resulting in an adjustment to the beginning net assets balance which represents the difference between accumulated depreciation under the prior depreciation rate and the current depreciation rate. This change does not impact the computation of any taxable income.
