General explanation attachment Beginning in fiscal 2017 and continuing in 2018, the Organization raised funds through a capital campaign in order to fund renovations to their leased space. During 2018, the Organization raised approximately $1.2 million dollars from this capital campaign which helped to fund the renovations. The portion attributable to the leased space was capitalized and is included in the Organizations fixed assets. Certain costs of the renovation relate to the building itself for which the Organization is not the primary beneficiary. The buildings owner recieved this benefit and has capitalized this cost. The Organization recorded this cost as an expense as they are not recieving any long term benefit from this improvement. The expense portion of the renovation amounted to approximately $795k which is included in adminstrative expenses on the 990.
