Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

Form 990, Part III, Line 3

Despite its best efforts, bsf has been unable to secure sufficient funding to fully cover its projected operating expenses and meet its grantmaking obligations on a long-term basis, as currently constituted. In lieu of dramatically changing bsf's mission, practices, and operations in a manner that would sustain bsf, the board of directors has determined that it is in bsf's best interests to pay or adequately provide for all of bsf's known debts and liabilities and for bsf to be wound up and dissolved in an orderly manner. On march 11, 2024, the board of directors voted to commence an operational wind down, which included staff notice and offboarding. This occurrence resulted in management's determination that liquidation was imminent subsequently, on october 17, 2024, the board of directors voted to dissolve bsf. Management expects to complete its bsf's liquidation and dissolution, including approvals and notices to the massachusetts attorney general and secretary of the commonwealth of massachusetts and the filing of a final form 990 with the internal revenue service, in 2025.
