Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

FORM 990, PART XII, LINE 2C:

“The process for oversight of the audit and selection of an independent accountant has not changed from the prior year.”

Financial Statement Notes

Part X, Line 2:

“Income tax status - the organization is exempt from federal income taxes under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code, except on net income derived from unrelated business activities. The organization is classified as a public charity. The organization is also exempt from state income tax. The organization assesses whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination of the technical merits or the position, assuming the taxing authority has full knowledge of all information. If the tax position does not meet the more likely than not recognition threshold, the benefit of the tax position is not recognized in the financial statements. The organization recorded no assets or liabilities for uncertain tax positions or unrecognized tax benefits. Federal returns for the years ended 2013 and thereafter remain subject to examination by the internal revenue service.”
