“The Organizations accounting policy is to provide liabilities for uncertain tax positions when a liabilty is probable and estimable. Management is not aware of any violation of its tax status as an organization exempt from income taxes, nor of any exposure to unrelated business income tax. Periods ending December 2020 and subsequent remain subject to examination by applicable taxing authorities.”
