| Form 990, Part VII, Section B, Line 1(A) | Line 1: Evolve Studios is the production company we are working with to develop the television docuseries The Sacred Thread and The Lord's Prayer Film. We will continue to work with them in order to produce the remainder of Season 1 in 2025. We have plans to produce up to 7 seasons and thus will require significant funds payable to them to produce the show. Funds paid to them are capitalized as intangible assets. |
| Form 990, Part VIII, Line 1f | Line 1f: Of these total contributions, $399,552 was specifically earmarked for the upcoming video series we are producing. Production began 2021 and is scheduled to complete by years end 2025. These funds will cover the program, management, and production costs for a portion of Season 1 of The Sacred Thread and The Lord's Prayer film.

| Form 990, Part VIII, Line 10b | It's worth noting that COGS on the 990 is represented on the Statement of Revenue and not the Statement of Expenses. When Capin Crouse performs the audit they represent COGS on the expense side which is why the total revenue total is different on the 990 and audited statements. See schedule D for more detailed explanation and reconciliation. |

| Form 990, Part IX, Line 20 | This interest expense reflects the expense side of the transaction for the donated interest received of $38,062. The received interest is reflected in non cash contributions on Part XIII, line 1g. Because donated interest was received and then expensed, the balance is $0. |
