Supplemental Narrative
Additional Explanations
Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 8
“We did not receive any revenue in this category. Hence we entered a ZERO value.”
Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16
“This is the total amount we spent for our memberships in organizations, advertisement fees and/or refunds made to subscribers and subscription agencies, state form filing fees paid to the state of oregon and fees charged by financial institutions like our financial institutions and paypal for using their services.”
Form 990-EZ, Part II, Line 24
“This amount represents the approximate value of our office equipment such as computers, copying machine, and office furniture, and inventory of back issues and books”
Form 990-EZ, Part II, Line 26
“These liabilities represent partially fulfilled portions of the subscriptions. This amount is what we would likely need to fulfill our obligations to the subscribers. It is an estimated value.”
Form 990-EZ, Part III, Line (28-31)
“These are estimates of expenses that can be attributed to the various program services listed here. Since we have only one paid staff, and he performs many tasks during the day, we have not kept a record of his time used in various tasks performed for the three program services listed. We have kept an account of expenses incurred by standard categories like office, printing, postage, salaries, taxes, etc. We believe the estimates shown here are reasonably accurate.”
Form 990-EZ, Part IV
“As per our bylaws, the executive editor is also a board member. He worked on the average 35 hours a week to manage the day to day operations and projects of the organization, including editing, publishing and distributing the magazine, uploading digital content on the website, management of the organization and its activities, and record-keeping, guiding the interns and volunteers, managing the book awards program, youth awards program, email correspondence, filing various forms with state and federal departments, etc. He received an annual salary and retirement benefits as shown in the list of Officers and directors. The 2023 SEP IRA contribution of $13,425.00 was made in April 2024, before this 990-EZ Form for 2023 was filed.”
Schedule B, Part II
“In 2023, we did not receive any non-cash contributions to report on Schedule B, hence Part II is left blanck.”

| IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 4 | These are estimates of expenses that can be attributed to the various program services listed here. Since we have only one paid staff, and he performs many tasks during the day, we have not kept a record of his time used in various tasks performed for the three program services listed. We have kept an account of expenses incurred by standard categories like office, printing, postage, salaries, taxes, etc. We believe the estimates shown here are reasonably accurate. |
