Form 990, Part III, Line 2

“In 2019 eta invited other theatre companies to show their work in our house. This was our vagabond season.”

Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

“The foundation is a not-for-profit foundation that is exempt from income taxes under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code and classified by the internal revenue service as other than a private foundation. Due to its tax-exempt status, the foundation is not subject to u.s. Federal or state income taxes. Generally, the foundation is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities during the three-year period prior to the period covered by these financial statements. The foundation is required to determine whether its tax positions are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant taxing authorities. Based on its analysis, the foundation has determined that it has not incurred any liability for unrecognized tax benefits as of december 31, 2018. The foundation does not expect that its assessment regarding unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next 12 months. However, the foundation's conclusions may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions, compliance with u.s. Federal and u.s. State tax laws, and changes in the administrative practices and precedents of the relevant taxing authorities.”

IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0THE FOUNDATION IS A NOT-FOR-PROFIT FOUNDATION THAT IS EXEMPT FROM INCOME TAXES UNDER SECTION 501(C)(3) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE AND CLASSIFIED BY THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE AS OTHER THAN A PRIVATE FOUNDATION. DUE TO ITS TAX-EXEMPT STATUS, THE FOUNDATION IS NOT SUBJECT TO U.S. FEDERAL OR STATE INCOME TAXES. GENERALLY, THE FOUNDATION IS SUBJECT TO INCOME TAX EXAMINATIONS BY MAJOR TAXING AUTHORITIES DURING THE THREE-YEAR PERIOD PRIOR TO THE PERIOD COVERED BY THESE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. THE FOUNDATION IS REQUIRED TO DETERMINE WHETHER ITS TAX POSITIONS ARE MORE LIKELY THAN NOT TO BE SUSTAINED UPON EXAMINATION BY THE APPLICABLE TAXING AUTHORITY, BASED ON THE TECHNICAL MERITS OF THE POSITION. THE TAX BENEFIT RECOGNIZED IS MEASURED AS THE LARGEST AMOUNT OF BENEFIT THAT HAS A GREATER THAN 50% LIKELIHOOD OF BEING REALIZED UPON ULTIMATE SETTLEMENT WITH THE RELEVANT TAXING AUTHORITIES. BASED ON ITS ANALYSIS, THE FOUNDATION HAS DETERMINED THAT IT HAS NOT INCURRED ANY LIABILITY FOR UNRECOGNIZED TAX BENEFITS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2018. THE FOUNDATION DOES NOT EXPECT THAT ITS ASSESSMENT REGARDING UNRECOGNIZED TAX BENEFITS WILL MATERIALLY CHANGE OVER THE NEXT 12 MONTHS. HOWEVER, THE FOUNDATION'S CONCLUSIONS MAY BE SUBJECT TO REVIEW AND ADJUSTMENT AT A LATER DATE BASED ON FACTORS INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, QUESTIONING THE TIMING AND AMOUNT OF DEDUCTIONS, THE NEXUS OF INCOME AMONG VARIOUS TAX JURISDICTIONS, COMPLIANCE WITH U.S. FEDERAL AND U.S. STATE TAX LAWS, AND CHANGES IN THE ADMINISTRATIVE PRACTICES AND PRECEDENTS OF THE RELEVANT TAXING AUTHORITIES.
