“The Nonprofit is exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, though it would be subject to tax on income unrelated to its exempt purpose, should such revenues exist.

IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0The Nonprofit is exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, though it would be subject to tax on income unrelated to its exempt purpose, should such revenues exist. The Nonprofit has processes presently in place to ensure the maintenance of its tax-exempt status; to identify and report unrelated income and to identify and evaluate other matters that may be considered tax positions. The Nonprofit has determined that there are no material uncertain tax positions that require recognition or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements.
