Supplemental Narrative

Financial Statement Notes

Schedule D, Page 3, Part X

“As of december 31, 2016, the organization was not aware of any uncertain tax positions that it is obligated to disclose in accordance with fasb asc 740, income taxes. Additionally, there were no returns open to review or under review by taxing authorities in excess of annual statutory periods which is typically three years. The organization follows a conservative approach of research and open disclosure in regard to its tax-exempt status and positions held. The foundation files forms 990 in the u.s. Federal jurisdiction and the state of illinois. The organization is generally no longer subject to examination by the internal revenue service for years before 2013.”
