Financial Statement Notes

PART IV, LINE 2B:

The foundation is holding funds that were raised during a fundraising event that was held by an individual.

PART X, LINE 2:

The organization is exempt from federal income taxes on its charitable purpose related income under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code. There is no unrelated business income for the organization and, accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been recorded. The organization has adopted accounting principles related to uncertain tax positions and has evaluated its tax position taken for all open tax years. Currently, the 2021, 2022, and 2023 tax years are open and subject to examination by the internal revenue service and the illinois department of revenue; however, the organization is not currently under audit nor has the organization been contacted by any of these jurisdictions. Based on the evaluation of the organization's tax position, management believes all positions taken would be upheld under an examination; therefore, no provision for the effects of uncertain tax position has been recorded for the years ended june 30, 2025 and 2024.
