Schedule A, Part VI, Explanation of Other Income:Other Income - 2020 Amount: $ 93,992.
Schedule A, Part IIThe organization has determined that, notwithstanding its classification as an organization described in section 509(a)(3), it nonetheless meets the public support test applicable to organizations described in section 170(b)(1)(A)(vi) and is therefore permitted to use the first special rule listed on page 1 of Schedule B in determining the threshold for listing donors on Schedule B, Part I. For the tax year ending August 31, 2021, the organization did not receive any contribution that met the 2% reporting threshold under the first listed special rule on Schedule B and therefore, is not required to complete Schedule B.
