Supplemental Narrative

Financial Statement Notes

PART V, LINE 4:

The intent of the endowment is to support the long-term financial stability of jordan matthews high school's annual trip to the holocaust museum in washington, dc.

PART X, LINE 2:

The foundation is exempt from income taxes as a not-for-profit organization under internal revenue service ("irs") code section 501(c)(3). During the year ended august 31, 2025, the foundation reported no unrelated business taxable income, which is defined by the irs as gross income derived from any unrelated trade or business that is not substantially related to the organization's tax-exempt purpose. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been recorded. The foundation follows guidance provided by fasb asc 740-10-25, accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. Under this provision, an organization must recognize the tax benefit associated with a tax position taken for tax return purposes when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained. The implementation had no impact on the foundation's financial statements. The foundation does not believe there are any material uncertain tax positions and, accordingly, it will not recognize any liability for unrecognized tax benefits. The foundation is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax years in progress. The foundation believes it is no longer subject to income tax examinations for the years prior to 2022. As of august 31, 2025, the foundation had no uncertain tax positions that qualify for either recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.
