Activities or mission (Part I)

THE NCHA PROMOTES AND CELEBRATES THE CUTTING HORSE, WHOSE ORIGIN ON WESTERN RANCHES ALLOWS US TO SUPPORT RANCHING AND ITS WESTERN HERITAGE.

  • Shows-Through exhibitions, NCHA Members can present their cutting horses for evaluation against horses of a similar skillset. NCHA Produces eight events and Approves more than one thousand events held by independent parties, each year. Approved events remit show results to the Association, where earnings data for horse and rider are retained for accolades. Judges-Exhibitors at events present their cutting horses for evaluation by NCHA certified Judges. Judges are granted certification through a testing and approval program. NCHA Produced and Approved events require certified judges for production and approval. Marketing-The promotion of exhibitors and the sport is managed by the Associations Marketing department. Athletes and the sport are promoted via social media and through the Associations monthly, printed magazine, The Cutting Horse Chatter. Operational Systems-Collection and calculation of Produced and Approved events data is managed through the Associations operational systems. The systems store earnings, awards and member data for each of the Associations major departments, including: Shows, Membership, Judges, Stallion Foal, and Youth. Stallion Foal-For the on-going concern and longevity of the sport, stallions and their offspring are promoted through the Stallion and Foal Program. Stallions are subscribed to the program for a corresponding breeding year, and the resulting offspring are nominated to the program. Funds resulting from the program are then utilized to incentivize members to breed, raise, and exhibit the offspring at NCHA Produced and Approved events.Youth-To promote future generations of cutters, the Association seeks to promote and develop youth members to compete, participate in leadership programs, and be eligible for a variety of financial and educational opportunities at NCHA Produced and Approved events.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Not present in the most recent drop.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
