Financial Statement Notes

“To support the Foundation's programs and enhancements to the gardens. During the current year, the board moved money from cash to investments, shown as a contribution in Part V.”

Part X, Line 2:

“The Foundation is exempt from federal income tax under Section 501 (c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, but is subject to tax on unrelated business income as defined by the code. We consider wedding revenue unrelated business income for the Foundation. Net earnings on such revenue are subject to tax on unrelated business income. Taxable income/(loss) was $14,254 in fiscal year 2025 and $(36,076) in fiscal year 2024, which were offset by available loss carryovers of $33,081. The Foundation is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress.

IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt	1	The Foundation is exempt from federal income tax under Section 501 (c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, but is subject to tax on unrelated business income as defined by the code. We consider wedding revenue unrelated business income for the Foundation. Net earnings on such revenue are subject to tax on unrelated business income. Taxable income/(loss) was $14,254 in fiscal year 2025 and $(36,076) in fiscal year 2024, which were offset by available loss carryovers of $33,081. The Foundation is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. The Foundations' management believes it is no longer subject to income tax examinations for the years prior to 2020.
