Return Reference Explanation
SCHEDULE G PART I NO VENDORS ARE PAID A PERCENTAGE OF DONATIONS GENERATED, BUT ARE REIMBURSED FOR THEIR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AND RELATED EXPENSES (E.G. POSTAGE AND PRINTING) THROUGH INVOICES. ALL DONATIONS GENERATED ARE SENT DIRECTLY BY THE DONOR TO THE CHARITY AND ARE RETAINED IN FULL BY THE CHARITY. PAYMENTS FOR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AND EXPENSES ARE SEPARATELY IDENTIFIED IN CONTRACTS AND BILLED INVOICES. DEPENDING ON THE SPECIFIC MAIL APPEAL, OTHER VENDORS MAY PROVIDE GRAPHIC DESIGN, PRINTING, OR MAILING SERVICES. REMINDERS FOR PROMISED PAYMENTS ARE SENT TO THE DONOR BY THE CHARITY AND THOSE PAYMENTS GO DIRECTLY TO THE CHARITY. NO PHONE APPEALS HAVE BEEN MADE SINCE 2010. MAIL APPEALS AND EVENTS ARE IMPORTANT SOURCES OF NEW DONORS AND THE COST TO ATTRACT A NEW DONOR CAN BE SUBSTANTIAL. THE EVENTS PLANNING CONSULTANT WORKS WITH STAFF AND VOLUNTEER GALA COMMITTEES TO CREATE THE EVENT THEME, IDENTIFY VENUES, PLAN THE MENU, AND HELP IMPLEMENT THE EVENT. ALL DECISIONS ARE MADE BY THE CHARITY'S STAFF.
SCHEDULE G PART II THE CHARITY WAS THE SPONSOR OF 1 GOLF EVENTS, 1 DINNER DANCES, 0 WALKS/RUNS, AND 2 OTHER EVENTS (CONCERTS, CAR SHOW). THE EXCLUSION OF EVENT CONTRIBUTIONS FROM SCHEDULE G UNDERSTATES THE PROFITABILITY OF EVENTS. THE NET INCOME FROM EVENTS (SCHEDULE G, PART II, LINE 11 AS WELL AS FORM 990, PART VIII, LINE 8C) SHOW A LOSS OF $37,125, HOWEVER THAT EXCLUDES $661,917 OF RELATED DONATIONS (FORM 990, PART VIII, LINE 1C). EVENTS REVENUE FOR SCHEDULE G REPRESENT ONLY THAT PORTION FOR WHICH THE DONOR RECEIVES VALUE (COST OF AUCTION ITEM AND MARKET VALUE FOR FOOD/ENTERTAINMENT RECEIVED). REVENUES FROM DONATED GIFTS-IN-KIND FOR USE IN AUCTIONS ARE ALSO EXCLUDED FROM SCHEDULE G, PART II, LINE 11, BUT THE RELATED EXPENSES FOR USE OF THOSE AUCTION "PRIZES ARE INCLUDED". ALSO INCLUDED AS EXPENSE FOR SCHEDULE G ARE EXPENSE ITEMS NOT "OF VALUE" TO THE DONOR (E.G. INVITATIONS PRINTING/POSTAGE AND TENTS FOR CATERERS) WHICH HAVE TO BE COVERED BY THE DONATIONS TO THE EVENT EXCLUDED FROM SCHEDULE G. THE CHARITY REPORTS THE TAX DEDUCTIBLE AMOUNTS FOR TICKETS AND AUCTION PURCHASES AS REQUIRED BY THE IRS.
SCHEDULE G PART III GAMING GAMING BY THE CHARITY CONSISTED OF ONLY RAFFLE TICKETS WHICH ARE SOLD AT EVENTS OR SOLD AT SITES OF CARE FOR SPECIFIC PROGRAMS. MANY RAFFLES PROVIDE THE WINNER WITH 50% OF THE GROSS PROCEEDS. OTHER RAFFLES GIVE PRIZES DONATED AS GIFTS-IN-KIND (GIK) BY BUSINESSES AND INDIVIDUALS. THE EXCLUSION OF REVENUES FROM GIK FOR RAFFLE PRIZES FROM SCHEDULE G UNDERSTATES THE PROFITABILITY OF RAFFLE EVENTS AS GIK REVENUES ARE EXCLUDED. RAFFLE REVENUES ARE REPORTED TO DONORS AS NON-TAX DEDUCTIBLE GIFTS FOLLOWING IRS RECEIPTING REQUIREMENTS. THE CHARITY REPORTS WINNERS TO THE IRS AND WITHHOLDS WINNINGS AS REQUIRED AND DOES NOT MAIL RAFFLE TICKETS OR ORDER FORMS AS SUCH USE OF THE U.S. MAIL IS PROHIBITED BY FEDERAL LAW. RAFFLE LICENSES ARE OBTAINED AS REQUIRED BY STATE AND LOCAL LAWS.
SCHEDULE G PART III (GAMING) LINE 16 GAMING STAFF THE STAFF RESPONSIBLE FOR GAMING MANAGER FUNCTION HAS NO PART OF THEIR COMPENSATION SPECIFICALLY IDENTIFIED FOR SUCH ACTIVITIES. FOR ANY PARTICULAR STAFF MEMBER, THEIR DUTIES WOULD BE AT MOST ONE TO TWO HOURS PER YEAR.
