Form And Line ReferenceFormAndLineReferenceDescExplanationExplanationTxt
Pt VI, Line 12cThe board of directors and an officer is currently made up of the organizers of the organization, Kalin and Sharon Tchonev. As noted elsewhere, the Tchonevs also own and manage a related for profit entity that incurs many of the expenses that are Varna International Music Academy expenses, so there is an inherent conflict due to this activity. As this is the first year of the Academy as a non-profit steps are being taken to separate the Academy expenses from the for profit company expenses.
Pt VI, Line 15aIncluded in the overall expenses that Varna International Music Academy remits to the for profit company is an overhead charge that includes the administration and program service costs of the Academy. There are no external directors involved to oversee compensation matters at this time. This is also the answer to Question 16 regarding other interactions with taxable entities.
Pt VI, Line 19Information about Forms 1023 and the attached filings are available by request, and Forms 990 are available either by request or from the South Carolina Secretary of State's office.
Pt VI, Line 2The organizers of the organization, Kalin and Sharon Tchonev, are married to each other.
Pt VI, Line 11bBoth directors were shown and approved the return prior to filing.
Pt VI, Line 8bThere are no committees for the organization, only the two directors.
