Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

FORM 990, PART XII, LINE 2C:

The board of directors assumes responsibility for oversight of the audit of its financial statements and selection of an independent accountant.

Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

The organization is a nonprofit organization as described in section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code and is exempt from federal and state income taxes on trade or business profits generated by activities related to the organization's exempt function. The organization may be subject to federal and state income taxes for profits generated from trade or business activities unrelated to the organization's exempt function. As of december 31, 2024, management believes that the organization has not generated any unrelated business taxable income. The organization assesses the recording of uncertain tax positions by evaluating the minimum recognition threshold and measurement requirements a tax position must meet before being recognized as a benefit in the financial statements. The organization's policy is to recognize interest and penalties accrued on any uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense, if any, in its statement of activities. The organization has not recognized any liabilities for uncertain tax positions or unrecognized benefits as of december 31, 2024. The organization does not expect any material change in uncertain tax benefits within the next 12 months.
