PART V, LINE 4:

“ORGANIZATIONS PROGRAMS”

PART X, LINE 2:

“The organization is exempt from income taxes under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code. As a result, the organization does not pay federal income tax. Therefore, no provision or liability for federal income taxes has been included in the financial statements. Management has determined that the organization does not have any uncertain tax positions and associated unrecognized benefits that materially impact the financial statements or related disclosures. The organization's federal information returns are subject to examination by the irs, generally for three years after they were filed.”
