Form 990-EZ, Part V, Line 35bForm 990-EZ, Part V, Line 35b - $1,175.00 was made in revenue during the year 2015 from the sale of baskets made in Ghana and brought back to the US by Board Members and/or volunteers. This revenue was reported in Part 1, Line 7a. These baskets have been sold individually to donors or friends. Tax benefits were not given to those who purchased these items. Form 990-T was not filed because this was not deemed to be unrelated business income by its definition, because it is not regularly carried on and because it is substantially related to the charitable purposes of this organization, namely raising funds to support the orphanage.
