Supplemental Narrative

Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

The foundation is exempt from income tax under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code; therefore, it has made no provisions for federal income taxes in the accompanying financial statements. The foundation is required to assess whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination of the technical merits of the position assuming the taxing authority has full knowledge of all information. If the tax position does not meet the more likely than not recognition threshold, the benefit of that position is not recognized in the financial statements. The foundation has determined there are no amounts to record as assets or liabilities related to uncertain tax positions.
