| Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 20 | An accounting error occurred in FY 2023-2024. An award letter from a Foundation for $20,000 was received a month before our fiscal ended. An invoice was created in order to post the revenue in that fiscal year. The cash for that pledge was received the following fiscal year. Rather than posting the cash against the open invoice, a new transaction was created showing a new donation income. That error caused our unrestricted equity to be overstated by $20,000. Also, in FY 2024-2025, there was an accounting error of $109. |
