Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

Form 990, Part IX, Line 11G

“Employee search services: program service expenses 0. Management and general expenses 65,500. Fundraising expenses 0. Total expenses 65,500.”

FORM 990, PART III, LINE 2C:

“The organization has a committee whose purpose is the oversight and review of the financial statements audited by an independent accountant. The process has not changed from prior years.”

Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

“The foundation has been notified by the internal revenue service that it meets the qualifications to be classified as a tax-exempt entity under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code. In addition, the foundation has been determined by the internal revenue service not to be a "private foundation" within the meaning of section 509(a) of the internal revenue code. As a not-for-profit entity exempt from income taxes, the foundation may, however, be subject to tax on unrelated business income. Accounting principles generally accepted in the united states of america require an entity to assess the probability that a tax position has a "more likely than not" sustainability after review by tax authorities. If a tax position is deemed not to meet this threshold, any unrecognized tax benefits and costs are estimated and recognized. Tax returns are routinely open for review by the tax authorities for three years from their due date. In certain circumstances, the statute of limitations may remain open indefinitely.”

IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0THE FOUNDATION HAS BEEN NOTIFIED BY THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE THAT IT MEETS THE QUALIFICATIONS TO BE CLASSIFIED AS A TAX-EXEMPT ENTITY UNDER SECTION 501(C)(3) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE. IN ADDITION, THE FOUNDATION HAS BEEN DETERMINED BY THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE NOT TO BE A "PRIVATE FOUNDATION" WITHIN THE MEANING OF SECTION 509(A) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE. AS A NOT-FOR-PROFIT ENTITY EXEMPT FROM INCOME TAXES, THE FOUNDATION MAY, HOWEVER, BE SUBJECT TO TAX ON UNRELATED BUSINESS INCOME. ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES GENERALLY ACCEPTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA REQUIRE AN ENTITY TO ASSESS THE PROBABILITY THAT A TAX POSITION HAS A "MORE LIKELY THAN NOT" SUSTAINABILITY AFTER REVIEW BY TAX AUTHORITIES. IF A TAX POSITION IS DEEMED NOT TO MEET THIS THRESHOLD, ANY UNRECOGNIZED TAX BENEFITS AND COSTS ARE ESTIMATED AND RECOGNIZED. TAX RETURNS ARE ROUTINELY OPEN FOR REVIEW BY THE TAX AUTHORITIES FOR THREE YEARS FROM THEIR DUE DATE. IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES, THE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS MAY REMAIN OPEN INDEFINITELY.
