Supplemental Narrative

Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

The foundation's policy is to evaluate the likelihood that its uncertain tax positions will prevail upon examination based on the regulations, revenue rulings, court decisions and other evidence. It is the opinion of management that the foundation has no uncertain tax positions that would be subject to the interpretation. The foundation is generally no longer subject to examinations by federal tax authorities for years before 2012.

PART XI, LINE 2D - OTHER ADJUSTMENTS:

Unrealized market gain on investments 545.
