“Effective July 1, 2021, the Organization began operating the Skagit Valley Diaper Bank as a new program. The service previously existed as a separate independent nonprofit organization with the same name, but when that organization elected to cease activities, the United Way of Skagit County elected to take on similar activities as its own program. Assets provided to the Organization upon taking over these activities totaled $40,982 and $8,025 and have been recognized as other grants and contributions and in-kind contributions, respectively, in the statement of revenue for the year-ended June 30, 2022.”

“The 2020 Form 990 (for year ended June 30, 2021) contained an error in the reporting of functional expenses in Part IX. All rows within the statement of functional expenses had management & general and fundraising expenses swapped. As previously reported, management & general and fundraising expenses totaled $167,147 and $104,047, respectively. However, management & general and fundraising expenses should have totaled $104,047 and $167,147, respectively. The result of the error was zero-impact to changes in net assets.”
