Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

“U.s. Gaap requires management to evaluate tax positions taken by the foundation and recognize a tax liability if the foundation has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. Management evaluated the foundation's tax positions and concluded that the foundation had taken no uncertain tax positions that require adjustment to the financial statements to comply with the provisions of this guidance.”
