| GENERAL STATEMENT REGARDING IMPACT OF COVID-19 | The COVID-19 pandemic, whose effects first became known in January 2020, has caused economic interruptions through mandated and voluntary closings of businesses and organizations throughout the United States. The extent of the impact of COVID-19 on the Societys operational and financial performance will depend on certain developments, including the duration and spread of the outbreak and its impact on the Societys donors, employees, and vendors, all of which at present cannot be determined. Accordingly, the extent to which COVID-19 may impact the Societys financial position and changes in net assets and cash flows is uncertain and the accompanying consolidated financial statements include no adjustments relating to the effects of this pandemic. On April 27, 2020, the Society received loan proceeds totaling $1,486,300 under the paycheck protection program ("PPP") administered by the small Business Administration (SBA) approved partner (such PPP loan referred to as a First Draw PPP loan). Established as part of the Coronavirus Relief and Economic Security ACt ("CARES ACT"), the PPP provides for uncollateralized loans to qualifying borrowers in amounts up to 2.5 times the borrowers average monthly payroll expenses. PPP loans and accrued interest are forgivable after a covered period (eight or 24 weeks) as long as the borrower uses the loan proceeds for eligible purposes, including payroll, benefits, rent and utilities and maintains its payroll levels. The forgiveness amount will be reduced if the borrower terminates employees or reduces salaries during the covered period in excess of the limit set under the regulations. The Society used the PPP loan proceeds for purposes consistent with the PPP and has applied for forgiveness. As of September 30, 2020, the Society believes that it satisfied the requirements for its PPP loan to be forgiven, and therefore the Society recorded grant revenue totaling $1,486,300 on its accompanying statement of activities. On January 1, 2021, the loan was fully forgiven. On February 8, 2021, the Society received a Second Draw PPP loan of $1,486,300 under the CARES Act as amended by the Economic Aid Hard-Hit Small Businesses, Nonprofits, and Venues Act (Economic Aid Act). The loan is generally subject to the same terms, conditions and requirements as the First Draw PPP loan. The loan qualifies for loan forgiveness if during the 8 to 24 week covered period following loan disbursement: employee and compensation levels are maintained in the same manner as required for the First Draw PPP loan; the loan proceeds are spent on payroll cost and other eligible expenses; and at least 60 percent of proceeds are spent on payroll costs. |
