Supplemental Narrative

Financial Statement Notes

X 2

“The organization is a section 501c4 not-for-profit organization exempt from federal income taxes as provided under 501a of the internal revenue code and applicable regulations of the district of columbia. The organization evaluates uncertainty in income tax positions based on a more-likely-than-not recognition standard. If that threshold is met, the tax position is then measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50 likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. If appliable, the organization records interest and penalties as a component of income tax expense. The organizations informational return filings are subject to audit by the internal revenue service, generally for three years after filing.”
