Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

Form 990, Page 1, Part I, Line 6

Nine individuals served in 2024 on the foundation's board of directors.

Financial Statement Notes

Schedule D, Page 2, Part V, Line 4

The foundation's endowment provides ongoing funding to support the charitable, educational, and religious purposes of the supported organization.

Schedule D, Page 3, Part X

The foundation is exempt from federal income taxes under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code. In addition, the foundation qualifies for the charitable contribution deduction under section 170(b)(1)(a) and has been classified as an organization other than a private foundation under section 509(a)(1). Under accounting standards, an organization must recognize tax benefits associated with tax taken for tax return purposes when it is more likely than not that the position will not be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. There were no unrecognized tax benefits identified or recorded as liabilities for 2024 and 2023. The foundation's form 990, return of organization exempt from income tax (including the returns for its supporting organizations), and its form 990 -t, unrelated business tax return, for the years ending 2021 through 2024 are subject to examination by the irs, generally for three years after they were filed.
