Form 990, Part XI, Line 9

“Adjust grant receivable -66,500 in 2011 and 2012 the organization recorded a grant receivable from murdock foundation. The total of the grant was to be 66,500. The organization spent money on projects in the expectation of receiving the grant funds. In a later year, but prior to 2016 the grantor told the organization that it would not be giving them the funds after all. The grant was not removed from the receivable in that year. This adjustment is to recognize that the receivable no longer existed as of the beginning of 2016.”
