This organization determines eligibility for grants based on funding needs of the applicant. Financial information is obtained from applicants to determine need. Because of the size of the community, it is easy to observe the application of the funds to specific projects, maintenance of a facility, or improvements made to a facility. Board members make visits to facilities and/or communicate with recipients' boards to determine that application of the funding is appropriate. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b The form 990 is presented to the board of directors or a representative of the board of directors by the preparer, with explanations regarding the significant items included in the return.

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19 Governing documents, policies and financial statements are available for examination at the office of Donald W. Shierry CPA, PC, 2004 Quail Creek Drive Suite 100, Wichita Falls, TX, upon request.
