The Council on Aging of Henderson County LOST about $80,000 in funding from the United Way because our 990 nonprofit tax form showed
about 30+% in administrative costs. We talked to our CPA and the IRS and
they both agreed we could accurately report the costs differently and there would be no problem. Our actual adminstrative costs are about 12%
We have filed amended 990 forms. our fundraising has enabled us to keep our meals on wheels program on track with no loss in service. Of course we can definitely use more contributions.
