Supplemental Narrative

Financial Statement Notes

Part X, Line 2:

“FIN 48 Footnote from Audited Financials The Organization was granted an exemption from federal income tax by the Internal Revenue Service pursuant to the provisions of Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3). The Organization qualifies for the charitable contribution deduction under Section 170(b)(1)(A)(vi) and has been classified as an Organization that is not a private Organization under Section 509(a)(1). The tax- exempt purpose of the Organization and the nature in which it operates is described above. Management believes the Organization operates in compliance with its tax-exempt purpose. Thus, no provision for income tax has been provided for in the financial statements. The Organization has adopted the requirements for accounting for uncertain tax positions and management has determined that the Organization was not required to record a liability related to uncertain tax positions as of July 31, 2025.”

IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0FIN 48 Footnote from Audited Financials The Organization was granted an exemption from federal income tax by the Internal Revenue Service pursuant to the provisions of Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3). The Organization qualifies for the charitable contribution deduction under Section 170(b)(1)(A)(vi) and has been classified as an Organization that is not a private Organization under Section 509(a)(1). The tax- exempt purpose of the Organization and the nature in which it operates is described above. Management believes the Organization operates in compliance with its tax-exempt purpose. Thus, no provision for income tax has been provided for in the financial statements. The Organization has adopted the requirements for accounting for uncertain tax positions and management has determined that the Organization was not required to record a liability related to uncertain tax positions as of July 31, 2025.
