Financial Statement Notes

Part X, Line 2:

“The Foundation is an Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") Section 501(c)(3) organization, exempt from taxes by application of IRC Section 501(a) and is a public charity by application of IRC Section 509(a)(1). Accordingly, no provision for federal or state income taxes is recorded in the accompanying financial statements. Income from certain activities not directly related to the Foundation's tax-exempt purpose, however may be subject to taxation as unrelated business income. Management has considered its tax positions and believes that all of the positions taken in its federal and state exempt organization returns are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination. In general, the Foundation is no longer subject to income tax examinations by the U.S. federal, state or local tax authorities for years before 2009. The Foundation recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying financial statements. During the year ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Foundation did not recognize any interest and penalties.”

IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0The Foundation is an Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") Section 501(c)(3) organization, exempt from taxes by application of IRC Section 501(a) and is a public charity by application of IRC Section 509(a)(1). Accordingly, no provision for federal or state income taxes is recorded in the accompanying financial statements. Income from certain activities not directly related to the Foundation's tax-exempt purpose, however may be subject to taxation as unrelated business income. Management has considered its tax positions and believes that all of the positions taken in its federal and state exempt organization returns are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination. In general, the Foundation is no longer subject to income tax examinations by the U.S. federal, state or local tax authorities for years before 2009. The Foundation recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying financial statements. During the year ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Foundation did not recognize any interest and penalties.
