Return Reference Explanation
PART II, LINE 9: THE CONSERVATION EASEMENT VALUE OF $38,000 IS REPORTED ON THE STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION WITHIN THE PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT, NET LINE TOTAL. WHEN DONATED, THE CONSERVATION EASEMENT WAS REPORTED ON THE STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES AND CHANGES IN NET ASSETS WITHIN THE CAPITAL CAMPAIGN LINE TOTAL.
PART V, LINE 4: THE GREAT FUND OF THE COUNCIL IS MADE UP OF ALL NON- (SPECIFICALLY DONOR) COVENANTED MONIES. THIS FUND INCLUDES SUCH GIFTS AS: THE TIRPAK MEMORIAL ESTABLISHED IN 2005 AND ALL OTHER GIFTS THAT HAVE COME BEFORE, THROUGH SUCH GIFTING VEHICLES AS THE JAMES E. WEST FELLOWSHIP, THE HERITAGE SOCIETY, THE 1910 SOCIETY AND THE COUNCIL'S MEMORIALS AND TRIBUTES PROGRAM. THE POLICY FOR SPENDING THE EARNINGS OF ALL THE GREAT FUND IS THAT PROCEEDS ARE TO BE USED FOR THE GENERAL OPERATIONS OF THE COUNCIL. SPENDING WILL, HOWEVER, CONFORM TO THE LIMITS ESTABLISHED BY THE SPENDING POLICY OF THE COUNCIL. MONIES FROM GIFTS THAT MAKE UP THE GREAT FUND DO NOT HAVE ANY SPECIFIC DONOR RESTRICTION EXCEPT BY WAY OF THE INTENT OF THEIR SOLICITATION; THEREFORE ALL GREAT FUND ASSETS ARE PERMENANTLY RESTRICTED. THE FLEMING (LARRY A.) FUND WAS ESTABLISHED FOLLOWING THE UNTIMELY PASSING OF LARRY A. FLEMING, A VALUED CITIZEN AND SCOUTING BENEFACTOR. THIS FUND'S COVENANTS ARE THAT IT PAYS OUT FROM EARNINGS, $1,000 EACH YEAR TO PROVIDE A HIGHER EDUCATION SCHOLARSHIP THRU AN APPLICATION PROCESS TO A RECIPIENT EAGLE SCOUT BASED ON HIS COMMUNITY SERVICE PROJECT. THE SCHOLARSHIP IS AWARDED AROUND MARCH OF EACH YEAR IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE COUNCIL'S EAGLE RECEPTION EVENT. MONIES ARE FORWARDED IN THE STUDENT'S NAME TO THE SCHOOL OF HIS CHOOSING FOLLOWING THE RECIPIENT'S HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION. ALL FUNDS EARNED BEYOND THE ANNUAL PAYOUT AMOUNT ARE REINVESTED AND ARE NOT TAKEN FOR OTHER PURPOSES. THE SANSOM (LEWIS M.) FUND WAS ESTABLISHED IN MAY OF 2000 FOLLOWING THE UNTIMELY DEATH OF LEWIS M. SANSOM. ITS COVENANTS ARE THAT THE ENTIRETY OF ITS INTEREST EARNINGS CAN BE USED TO OFFSET THE EXPENSES OF THE COUNCIL IN TERMS OF CAMPERSHIPS, REGISTRATION FEES, BOOKS AND UNIFORM PARTS. SEVERAL DONORS CONTINUE TO REGULARLY CONTRIBUTE TO THIS FUND. THE COUNCIL ANNUALLY SPENDS SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS TOWARD THE AFOREMENTIONED EXPENSE ITEMS AS A FUNCTION OF ITS OPERATING BUDGET. ALTHOUGH THE FUND CONVENANTS ARE THAT THE ENTIRETY OF ITS INTEREST EARNINGS CAN BE USED, THE ANNUAL DRAW IS CONTROLLED BY THE SPENDING LIMITS OUTLINED IN THE COUNCIL'S SPENDING POLICY. THE KIANA FUND IS A MODEST FUND THAT PAYS OUT AN AMOUNT OF MONEY FOR EACH LOCAL COUNCIL WOODBADGE TRAINING COURSE IN THE FORM OF PARTICIPANT SCHOLARSHIP(S). THE AMOUNT THE FUND PAYS SHALL NOT EXCEED THE EARNINGS OF THE FUND, THEREFORE THE FUND MAY POSSIBLY ALLOW FOR MORE THAN ONE SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENT FOR EACH COURSE. THE FRY (GEORGE W. AND HELEN F.) FUND WAS ESTABLISHED IN 1992 TO BECOME A PART OF THE COUNCIL'S ENDOWMENT TO SPECIFICALLY FUND A HIGHER EDUCATION SCHOLARSHIP FOR A LOCAL COUNCIL EAGLE SCOUT. THE SCHOLARSHIP AMOUNT OF $1,000, AWARDED EACH YEAR, IS FUNDED FROM EARNINGS. THE SCHOLARSHIP IS AWARDED AROUND MARCH OF EACH YEAR THROUGH AN APPLICATION PROCESS IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE COUNCIL'S EAGLE RECEPTION EVENT. FUNDS ARE PAID DIRECTLY TO THE RECIPIENT FOLLOWING THE RECIEPT OF A LETTER FROM THE RECIPIENT CERTIFYING ENROLLMENT IN AN UPPER-LEVEL EDUCATION INSTITUTION. ALL FUNDS EARNED BEYOND THE ANNUAL PAYOUT AMOUNTS ARE REINVESTED, AND ARE NOT TAKEN FOR OTHER PURPOSES. THE BAER (THOMAS H.) MEMORIAL FUND IS COVENANTED TO PROVIDE CAMPERSHIP (SCHOLARSHIPS) TO COUNCIL CUBS AND SCOUTS TO THAT THEY MAY ATTEND DAY OR (TWILIGHT) CAMP OR SUMMER CAMP (RESPECTIVELY) AT A COUNCIL OPERATED CAMP. THERE IS AN APPLICATION AND SELECTION PROCESS ESTABLISHED FOR THE USE OF THE RECIPIENT SELECTION COMMITTEE. THE ENTIRETY OF THE FUND'S ANNUAL INTEREST EARNINGS MAY BE USED TOWARD THIS PURPOSE. THERE IS NO MAXIMUM OR MINIMUM SCHOLARSHIP AMOUNT AND THE ONLY QUALIFIER IS THAT THE TOTAL OF ALL AWARDS SHALL NOT EXCEED EARNINGS. IT IS SPECIFICALLY NOTED THAT UNUSED EARNINGS WILL BE REINVESTED IN THE FUND AND WILL NOT BE USED FOR OTHER PURPOSES. EARNED MONIES FROM THIS FUND ARE EXPENSED THROUGH THE COUNCIL'S ASSISTANCE TO INDIVIDUALS BUDGET LINE AND REVENUE IS REFLECTED IN THE SPECIFIC ACTIVITIES (CAMPERSHIPS) FOR WHICH THE FUND WAS ESTABLISHED. THE PHILMONT SCHOLARSHIP ENDOWMENT FUND IS A PERMANENTLY RESTRICTED FUND, WHICH ALLOWS NEEDY OR UNDER PRIVILEGED SCOUTS FROM THE GREAT SMOKY MOUNTAIN COUNCIL TO ATTEND THE PHILMONT SCOUT RANCH HIGH ADVENTURE BASE LOCATED NEAR CIMARRON, NEW MEXICO. SEVERAL VISIONARY LEADERS CONCEIVED OF THE IDEA TO RAISE MONEY FOR A PERMANENT PHILMONT SCHOLARSHIP ENDOWMENT. ONLY THE INTEREST WOULD BE USED FOR THE PURPOSE OF THIS FUND AND THE SPENDING AND INVESTMENT POLICY WILL FOLLOW THAT OF THE OVERALL COUNCIL POLICY. A PRELIMINARY GOAL OF RAISING $100,000 HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED AND THE FUND IS IN THE REINVESTMENT AND FUNDING MODE. THEREFORE, NO SCHOLARSHIPS HAVE BEEN AWARDED. "THE CHALLENGE OF THE PHILMONT EXPERIENCE MAY NOT BE FOR ALL SCOUTS...BUT IT CAN BE FOR A FEW MORE." THE ERWIN FUND WAS ESTABLISHED IN 1989 FOLLOWING THE UNTIMELY DEATH OF DR. STANLEY W. ERWIN, A VALUED SCOUTING BENEFACTOR. ITS COVENANTS ARE THAT THE ENTIRETY OF ITS INTEREST EARNINGS CAN BE USED TO OFFSET THE ANNUAL OPERATIONS OF THE COUNCIL. HOWEVER A WOODBADGE SCHOLARSHIP IS TO BE AWARDED BASED ON NEED DURING A YEAR IN WHICH THE COUNCIL CONDUCTS A COURSE. SPENDING AND INVESTING CONFORMS TO THE LIMITS AND OTHER POLICIES OF THE COUNCIL. THE COUNCIL OWNS "THE BENEFITS" FROM ANOTHER FUND CALLED THE ROBINSON FUND. IT IS HELD IN TRUST BY A THIRD PARTY FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE GREAT SMOKY MOUNTAIN COUNCIL. THE COUNCIL RECEIVES A GRANT EACH YEAR OF APPROXIMATELY $5,000. THIS GRANT MONEY IS APPLIED TO THE GENERAL FUND FOR THE GENERAL OPERATING PURPOSES OF THE COUNCIL AND IS ACCOUNTED FOR THROUGH THE FRIENDS OF SCOUTING CAMPAIGN. THE PROF POWERS FUND IS ESTABLISHED TO HONOR HAROLD ("PROF") POWERS FOR HIS DECADES OF LEADERSHIP TO YOUNG MEN IN BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA IN ATHENS, TENNESSEE. MOST OF THE DONORS TO THE FUND ARE EAGLE SCOUTS WHO EARNED THEIR EAGLE SCOUT AWARD UNDER PROF'S LEADERSHIP. WITH PROF'S CONCURRENCE, THE INCOME FROM THE FUND WILL BE USED TO PROVIDE CAMPERSHIPS FOR BOY SCOUTS IN MONROE, MEIGS AND MCMINN COUNTIES TO ATTEND BOY SCOUT CAMP. THE CAMPERSHIPS WOULD BE AVAILABLE ONLY TO SCOUTS WHO DO NOT OTHERWISE HAVE THE MEANS TO ATTEND SCOUT CAMP. THE RECIPIENTS OF THE CAMPERSHIPS WILL BE NOMINATED AND SELECTED BY THE MONROE, MEIGS AND MCMINN COUNTIES SCOUT EXECUTIVE AFTER MAKING SURE THAT THE AVAILABILITY OF THE CAMPERSHIPS IS PUBLICIZED TO THE VARIOUS TROOPS AND PACKS. EACH CAMPERSHIP WILL PROVIDE ONE HALF (1/2) OF THE COST OF ATTENDING BOY SCOUT CAMP FOR ONE WEEK AT A CAMP SPONSORED BY THE GREAT SMOKY MOUNTAIN COUNCIL. IF THE INCOME IN ANY GIVEN YEAR IS NOT FULLY UTILIZED, IT CAN CARRY OVER AND BE AVAILABLE FOR CAMPERSHIPS IN A SUCCEEDING YEAR.
PART X, LINE 2: THE COUNCIL IS INCORPORATED AS A NOT-FOR-PROFIT ORGANIZATION THAT IS EXEMPT FORM INCOME TAXES UNDER SECTION 501(C)(3) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE AND COMPARABLE STATE LAW AS A CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION WHEREBY ONLY UNRELATED BUSINESS INCOME, AS DEFINED BY SECTION 509(A)(1) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE IS SUBJECT TO TAX. THE COUNCIL CURRENTLY HAS NO UNRELATED BUSINESS INCOME. ACCORDING, NO PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES HAS BEEN RECORDED.
PART XI, LINE 4B - OTHER ADJUSTMENTS: PROVISION FOR UNCOLLECTIBLES 55,552.
PART XII, LINE 4B - OTHER ADJUSTMENTS: PROVISION FOR UNCOLLECTIBLES 55,552.
