Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

“The foundation is a not-for-profit organization that is exempt from income taxes under irc sec 501(c)(3) and is classified by the irs as other than a private foundation. Due to its tax-exempt status, the foundation is not subject to federal or state income taxes. Generally, the foundation is subject to income tax examinations by taxing authorities for the three-year period after filing its returns. 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, 2020. The foundation does not expect that its assessment regarding unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next 12 months. 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 federal and state tax laws, and changes in the administrative practices and precedents of the relevant taxing authorities.”
