“The group is exempt from income tax under irc section 501(c)(3), and similarly, is exempt from state of illinois taxes under the illinois tax act section 205(a), though it is subject to tax on income unrelated to its exempt purpose, unless that income is otherwise excluded by the code. The group has processes presently in place to ensure the maintenance of its tax-exempt status; to identify and report unrelated income; to determine its filing and tax obligations in jurisdictions for which it has nexus; and to identify and evaluate other matters that may be considered tax positions. The group has determined that there are no material uncertain tax positions that require recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. There was no unrelated business income for the year ended december 31, 2023.”
