Additional Explanations

Form 990 Part XII, Line 2C Explanation.

“The board unanimously approved a resolution assigning the finance committee the review of the organization's draft form 990.”

Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

“As of december 31, 2016, management believes that based on evaluation of the organization's tax positions that any liability as a result of uncertain tax positions would not be material. Management continually evaluates expiring statutes of limitations, changes in tax law, and new authoritative rulings to assist in evaluating the organization's tax positions. Accrued interest and pentalties associated with uncertain tax positions, if any, would be recognized as part of the income tax provision. Income tax returns are filed in the u.s.federal jurisdiction and state jurisdictions. U.s. Federal and state income tax returns prior to fiscal year 2013 are closed.”
