Financial Statement Notes

Schedule D, Part IV, Line 2B

The foundation has an agency arrangement with (4) irc 501(c)(3) organizations in which the foundation receives funds from a corporation designated as a contribution to these specified charities and subsequently disburses the funds. As of december 31, 2014, all designated funds were disbursed resulting in no liability reported on form 990, part x, line 21 for a custodial account liability.

Schedule D, Part X, Line 2

The foundation follows asc 740-10-25, "accounting for uncertainty in income taxes." under asc 740-10-25, an organization must recognize the tax benefit associated with tax positions taken for tax return purposes when it is more-likely-than-not that the position will be sustained. The foundation does not believe that there are any unrecognized tax benefits that should be recorded. No interest or penalties are recorded or included in the statements of activities for the years ended december 31, 2014 and 2013. Should the foundation need to accrue interest or penalties on certain tax positions, it would recognize the interest as interest expense and the penalties as other expenses. Tax years going back to 2011 remain open to examination by taxing authorities.
