Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

FORM 990, PART XII, LINE 2C:

“The organization's executive committee assumes responsibility for oversight of the audit. This policy is unchanged from the prior year.”

Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

“The institute has been recognized by the internal revenue service (irs) as exempt from federal income taxes under internal revenue code (irc) section 501(a) as an organization described in irc section 501(c)(3), qualifies for charitable contribution deductions, and has been determined not to be a private foundation. The institute is annually required to file a return of organization exempt from income tax (form 990) with the irs. In addition, the organization is subject to income tax on net income that is derived from business activities that are unrelated to its exempt purpose. The institute annually performs an evaluation of uncertainty in income taxes and has determined that there are no matters that would require recognition in the financial statements or that may have any effect on its tax-exempt status. U.s. Federal jurisdiction and/or the various states and local jurisdictions in which the institute files tax returns are open for examination; however, there are currently no examinations pending or in progress. It is the institute's policy to recognize interest and penalties related to uncertainty in income taxes, if any, in interest expense and income tax expense, respectively. As of june 30, 2024 and 2023, the institute had no accruals for interest and/or penalties.”
