Supplemental Narrative

Financial Statement Notes

Part X, Line 2:

“ALSA-GWC is exempt from taxation under Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3) and California Revenue and Taxation Code Section 23701d. Generally accepted accounting principles provide accounting and disclosure guidance about positions taken by an organization in its tax returns that might be uncertain. Management has considered its tax positions and believes that all of the positions taken by ALSA-GWC in its federal and state exempt organization tax returns are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination. ALSA-GWC's returns are subject to examination by federal and state taxing authorities, generally for three and four years, respectively, after they are filed.”

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0Walks to Defeat ALS -Community-outreach events including our signature event - the Walk to Defeat ALS - are an opportunity to bring hope and sense of community to ALS patients and their families. By coming together to share their stories, patients and their families as well as those who have lost loved ones to ALS find strength and support with one another. Walks to Defeat ALS create an environment of empowerment where families and friends of ALS patients are given an opportunity to affect public policy by signing petitions that are sent to members of congress representing their districts. Walks also bring awareness to local communities of those fighting Lou Gehrig's disease and of the support available to them through The ALS Association Golden West Chapter.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0National ALS Association -As one of 40 chapters affiliated with the National ALS Association, The Golden West Chapter provides ongoing financial support to the National ALS Association to support federal public policy initiatives to improve the lives of patients and families living with ALS as well as global cutting-edge research projects in search of ALS treatments and cures.
IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/ExpenseAmt0589267
IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActyOtherGrp/Desc0Awareness/Public Policy -The Golden West Chapter's Public Policy and Leadership Development program is intended to increase understanding, education and awareness of the devastating impact of Lou Gehrig's Disease and the role that The ALS Association plays in achieving the three core components of our mission; Care Services for patients and families, global Research for treatments and a cure and important Public Policy initiatives. Through these efforts, we engage volunteers in the communities we serve and give them the opportunity to participate in advancing the activity of the organization and the achievement of our mission priorities. This program also encompasses the California ALS Research Summit, an annual gathering of researchers, investigators, clinicians, biotech companies, government representatives and patient advocates in ALS and related fields in the State of California. The purpose of the Summit is to help increase, expedite and promote the amount and level of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and related research done in California; and to foster networking, collaboration and cooperation among investigators, their peers and their colleagues to identify, develop and deliver new and effective treatments, ideas and, ultimately, a cure.
