Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

FORM 990, PART XII, LINE 1:

“Block by block received an audit starting in 2017 on the accrual basis. Reporting per this form has also changed to accrual basis to more closely match the financial statements.”

Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

“Federal income taxes the foundation is exempt from federal income tax under the provisions of section 501(a) of the code as an entity described in code section 501(c)(3) except to the extent of unrelated business taxable income as defined under the provisions of code sections 511 through 515. The organization did not incur material unrelated business income tax for the years ended december 31, 2017. In addition, the organization qualified 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). Accordingly, no provision has been made for federal income tax in the accompanying financial statements. The foundation follows the provisions of authoritative guidance relating to accounting for uncertain tax positions. The foundation recognizes the tax benefit from uncertain tax positions only if it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on examination by the tax authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit is measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The foundation recognizes interest and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. As of december 31, 2017, the foundation had no uncertain tax positions requiring accrual. The foundation files an exempt organization return in the u.s. Federal jurisdiction.”

PART XI, LINE 2D - OTHER ADJUSTMENTS:

“Fundraising event expense reclass 14,630.”

PART XII, LINE 2D - OTHER ADJUSTMENTS:

“Fundraising event expense reclass 14,630.”
