        <ExplanationTxt>HSCC is not aware of any activities that would jeopardize its tax-exempt status that would require recognition in the accompanying financial statements. Generally, tax returns are subject to examination by taxing authorities for up to three years from the date a completed tax return is filed. If material omissions of income exist, tax returns may be subject to examination for up to six years. It is HSCCs policy to recognize interest and/or penalties related to uncertain tax positions, if any, in the accompanying financial statements. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, no uncertain tax positions existed for which the Foundation should recognize a liability.</ExplanationTxt>

        <FormAndLineReferenceDesc>Form 990, Part VI, Line 4: Description of Significant Changes to Organizational Documents</FormAndLineReferenceDesc>
        <ExplanationTxt>During 2014 there were changes to the bylaws of Humane Society of Charles County. The first change is that a mission statement was added to the bylaws. "It is the mission of the Society to provide shelter and care for the homeless, injured and neglected animals through adoption, fostering, community partnerships, education, affordable spay-neuter and vaccine services." The new bylaws also afford employees the opportunity to participate in special and standing committee meetings, however employees may not vote, and cannot be elected to the Board. Also, the category of "Charter Member" was added to the bylaws, which allows any person who has participated more than 20 years can be granted charter member status. Charter members may attend all regularly scheduled and special meetings of the Society. An additional change was the addition of terms limits for board members, with no more than two consecutive two-year terms in an executive office, and a limit of four consecutive terms for board members. Also, a statement was added in the bylaws that a board member who has missed four meetings in a calendar year will be removed from the board absent extenuating circumstances. According to the new bylaws, vote for approval of an agenda item is by simple majority vote, rather than 2/3 majority in the previous version. In addition, an "Executive Session" clause was added, allowing the board to go into executive session to address more confidential matters.</ExplanationTxt>
