Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

FORM 990, PART XII, LINE 2C:

The organization did not change its oversight process or selection process during the tax year.

Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

The organization has received a determination letter from the internal revenue service ("irs"), stating that as long as it continues to meet certain guidelines by the internal revenue code, it is exempt from federal income taxes under provisions of the internal revenue code section 501(c)(3). Accordingly, no provisions for federal and state taxes have been provided in the accompanying financial statements. The organization follows guidance issued by the fasb regarding accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. The guidance requires an assessment of the likelihood of a tax position being sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities and prescribes the minimum recognition level. The income tax position taken by the organization for any years open under the various statutes of limitations are that the organization continues to be exempt from income taxes and that the organization does not have unrelated business income that would be subject to income taxes for the years ended december 31, 2021 and 2020. The organization believes that there are no tax positions taken or expected to be taken that would significantly increase or decrease unrecognized tax benefits within 12 months of the reporting date. None of the organization's federal or state income tax returns is currently under examination by the irs or state authorities.
