Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

FORM 990, PART XII, LINE 2C:

“Form 990, part xii, line 2b and c: the foundation has contracted for its 2024 audit, which will be completed as soon as possible after the filing of this return.”

Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

“Ssfl has been recognized by the internal revenue service as an organization that is exempt from federal income taxes under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code and by the california franchise tax board as an organization that is exempt from state taxes under section 23701(d) of the california revenue and taxation code. Generally accepted accounting principles provide accounting and disclosure guidance about positions taken by an organization in its tax returns that might be uncertain. Management has considered its tax positions and believes that all of the positions taken by hfc in its federal and state exempt organization tax returns are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination. Hfc's returns are subject to examination by federal and state taxing authorities, generally for three and four years, respectively, after they are filed.”
