Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

“Wilderness inquiry foundation has tax-exempt status under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code and has adopted accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, asc 740-10. Wi's policy is to evaluate uncertain tax positions, at least annually, for the potential for income tax exposure from unrelated business income or from loss of nonprofit status. Wi continues to operate consistently with its original exemption application and each year takes the necessary actions to maintain its exempt status. It has been classified as an organization that is not a private foundation under the internal revenue code and charitable contributions by donors are tax deductible. In compliance with its exempt status, the organization annually files a return of organization exempt from income tax (form 990).”
