Financial Statement Notes

X 2

“The Organization is a not-for-profit organization that is exempt from income taxes under Section 501c3 of the Internal Revenue Code. In addition, the Organization qualifies for the charitable contribution deduction under Section 170b1A and has been classified by the Internal Revenue Service as other than a private foundation. The Organization is also exempt from Illinois and Arizona state income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been established. The Organization files form 990, Return of Organization Exempt from Income Tax, in the U.S. federal jurisdiction. The Organizations Form 990 for the year ended August 31, 2024 is subject to examination, generally, three years after it is filed. The Organization does not expect a material net change in unrecognized tax benefits in the next twelve months. It is the Organizations policy to include any penalties and interest related to income taxes in management and general expenses, however, the Organization has not incurred any penalties or interest related to income taxes.”
