Part V, Line 4:Endowment fund earnings are to be used to fund scholarships for tour troupers and campers.
Part X, Line 2:The Organization is exempt from federal and state income tax under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been recorded in the financial statements. Tax-exempt organizations could be required to record an obligation for income taxes as the result of a tax position they have historically taken on various tax exposure items including unrelated business income or tax status. Under guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), assets and liabilities are established for uncertain tax positions taken or positions expected to be taken in income tax returns when such positions are judged to not meet the "more-likely-than-not" threshold, based upon the technical merits of the position. The Organization has evaluated the position taken on its filed tax returns. The Organization has not taken, nor does it expect to take any uncertain tax positions in any income tax return.

Form 990, Explanation for Filing of Amended ReturnFor its year ending December 31, 2022, the Organization compliantly filed its 2022 Form 990 with the IRS before the extended due date of 11-15-2023. However, subsequent to this filing,
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11bThe Form 990 is prepared by an outside independent accountant. A draft of the Form 990 is reviewed by management and the board finance committee prior to filing with the IRS.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12cThe conflict of interest policy is reviewed annually. Any potential conflicts are discussed and the board member does not participate in the discussion or vote if there is a conflict.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15The Executive Director's salary was determined by the full board, taking into account compensation in previous years, comparative executive salary data, and the overall budget.
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19The Organization makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available to the public upon request.
Form 990, Part XII, Line 2c:For its year ending December 31, 2022, the Organization compliantly filed its 2022 Form 990 with the IRS before the extended due date of 11-15-2023. However, subsequent to this filing, the Organization found that the data used to prepare the original filing inadvertently overstated donations from certain disqualified persons as well as the total contributions received from donors who gave greater than $5,000 during this tax year. Accordingly, the Organization determined that the amounts reported on Schedule A, Part III, Line 7a, and on Schedule B, Schedule of Contributors, were misstated. The Organization has filed this Form 990 to correct the misstated donations. The net impact of these corrections on the Form 990 are as follows: - Schedule A, Part III, Column (e) 2022, Lina 7a (original): $61,460 - Schedule A, Part III, Column (e) 2022, Lina 7a (amended): $26,355 - Schedule A, Part III, Column (f) Total, Lina 7a (original): $190,102 - Schedule A, Part III, Column (f) Total, Lina 7a (amended): $154,997 - Schedule B, Part I, Total reported contributors who donated greater than over $5,000 (original): $586,925 - Schedule B, Part I, Total reported contributors who donated greater than over $5,000 (amended): $526,820 The Organization has considered its Form 990, Part VIII, Statement of Revenue in coordination with its audited financial statements, and does not believe that the Form 990, Part VIII requires any amendment from its original version due to the change in these donation-figures; the overall total contribution revenue reported on the originally filed Form 990 was based on the Organization's 2022 audited financial statements, which have not been modified or changed since the original Form 990 was filed.
