Additional Explanations

FORM 990, PART XII, LINE 2C:

“The audit committee selcts the auditor and provides oversight during the audit process.”

Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

“The financial statements include no provision for income taxes as the foundation is qualified as a tax-exempt organization under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code. However, any income from certain activities not directly related to the foundation's tax exempt purpose may be subject to taxation as unrelated business income. The foundation determines the recognition of uncertain tax positions, if applicable, that may subject the foundation to unrelated business income tax necessary by applying a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold and determines the measurement of uncertain tax positions considering the amounts and probabilities of the outcomes that could be realized upon ultimate settlement with tax authorities. The foundation does not have any material uncertain tax positions, including any positions that would place the foundation's exempt status in jeopardy at december 31, 2024. The foundation believes that it is no longer subject to income tax examinations for the years prior to 2021.”

PART XI, LINE 2D - OTHER ADJUSTMENTS:
