“The foundation is exempt from federal income taxes under section 501(c) (3) of the internal revenue code and is not classified as a private foundation under section 509(a) of the internal revenue code. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been made in the financial statements. The foundation annually evaluates tax positions as part of the preparation of its exempt tax return. This process includes an analysis of whether tax positions the foundation takes with regard to a particular item of income or deduction would meet the definition of an uncertain tax position under current accounting guidance. At september 30, 2025, the foundation did not have any unrecognized tax benefits. The foundation is no longer subject to federal, state, or local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2021.”
