Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

FORM 990, PART XII, LINE 2C:

The selection of auditors and oversight of audit is performed by the board of directors. The selection process remains the same as last year.

Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

The foundation is exempt from federal income taxes under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code (the "irc"). The foundation has not been classified as a private foundation by the internal revenue service (the "irs"). Although the foundation is generally exempt from income tax, it is subject to tax on certain unrelated business income. There was no unrelated business income for the year ended december 31, 2021; therefore, no provision for income tax has been recorded in the financial statements. The foundation believes it has appropriate support for any tax position taken and, as such, does not have any uncertain tax positions that are material to the financial statements. The foundation recognizes interest expense and penalties on its tax positions in management and general expenses on the statement of activities and change in net assets and in accounts payable on the statement of financial position. Tax years prior to 2018 are no longer subject to examination by the irs or the tax jurisdiction of the district of columbia.
