Supplemental Narrative

Financial Statement Notes

Schedule D, Page 2, Part V, Line 4

“The foundation maintains endowment funds for donor designated purposes that are consistent with the foundations mission.”

Schedule D, Page 3, Part X

“The foundation adopted the provisions of "accounting for uncertainty in income taxes" which presribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The amount recognized is measured as the amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.”
