IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0The Organization is exempt from federal income taxes under section 501(a) of the Internal Revenue Code because it is an organization described in Section 501(c)(3) and therefore has made no provision for federal income taxes in the accompanying financial statements. In addition, the Internal Revenue Service has determined the Organization is not a "Private Foundation" within the meaning of Section 509(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Organization has adopted the provisions of FASB ASC 740-10. The adoption of FASB ASC 740-10 has not resulted in any known federal or state tax contingencies.
