Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

Form 990

“Fundraising expenses reported on form 990, part ix, have decreased. Most institutional support comes from repeat donors and board members. The ratio of fundraising expense to contributions and grants is less than 5% due to the active nature of the board of directors and staff who donate much of their time and expense.”

Form 990, Page 1, Part I, Line 6

“Unpaid board members volunteer their time to the organization. Additionally, volunteers help administer international courses.”

Form 990, Part IX, Line 11G

“Contractual services 421,408 13,902 210”

Form 990, Part XII

“A committee of two board members and the cfo oversees the audit process by managing the audit timeline, reviewing the draft audit, then presents the audit to the board.”

Financial Statement Notes

Schedule D, Page 3, Part X

“Csf is exempt from federal and california income tax as a non-profit organization under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code and similar state provisions. The open audit periods are 2011 through 2014. Csf has analyzed the tax positions taken for filing with the internal revenue service and the state of california. The organization believes that income tax filing positions will be sustained upon examination and does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material adverse affect on the financial statements. Accordingly, the company has not recorded any reserves, or related accruals for interest and penalties for uncertain income tax positions at december 31, 2015.”
