ExplanationThe Fundraising Events are significantly supported by gifts from individuals honoring those that ride bikes or walk to support the mission and qualified sponsorships. Following the IRS instructions, Part VIII, line 8, and Schedule G, reflect a net loss because the majority of the donations received in support of the events are reported on Part VIII, line 1c, on the Statement of Revenue, as contributions. This presentation is in accordance with the instructions to the form and reflect the fact that no goods or services are provided to donors. Further the business sponsors receive no substantial return benefit. Their acknowledgments do not contain qualitative or comparative language, as defined by IRC 513(i), and therefore are qualified sponsorships properly classified as contributions.ExplanationTxt
