Form And Line ReferenceFormAndLineReferenceDescExplanationExplanationTxt
Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 10$133,611 was distributed to the Ghanaian organization called MASEL during the Year 2014. These are the regular charitable distributions made during the course of our organizations exempt activities for the purposes expressed in our Articles of Incorporation (to support Nazareth Home for God's Children). $24,165 was distributed to be used for daily operating expenses, and $109,446 was distributed to the Building Fund.
Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16Description;Amount^International Wire Transfer Fees and Cashiers Check;503|Annual Report to TN Secretary of State;22|Website Hosting Fees;212|Travel Board Travel Donated by Board Member;3721|Mistletoe Market Vendor Fee;80|Paypal Withholdings;401|Misc;728^Total;5667^
Form 990-EZ, Part V, Line 35b$2,013 was made in revenue during the year 2014 from the sale of baskets made in Ghana and brought back to the US by Board Members or volunteers. This revenue was reported in Part I, Line 7a. These baskets have been sold individually to donors or friends, and during one charitable event during the year. Tax benefits were not given to donors for the revenue brought in by these sales. 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.
