Pt XI, Line 2dDirect fundraising expenses subtracted from return fundraising revenue total but not from FS total revenue amount
Pt XII, Line 2dDirect fundraising expenses not included in return expense total but included in FS total
Pt X, Line 2The Accounting Standards Coditication requires entities to disclose in their financial statements the nature of any uncertainty in their tax position. The Organization has not recognized any benefits from uncertain tax positions in 2016 and believes it has no uncertain tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease within 12 months of the balance sheet date. Generally, federal, state and local authorities may examine the Organization's tax exempt returns for three years from the date of filing; consequently, income tax returns for years prior to 2013 are no longer subject to examination by taxing authorities.
