Financial Statement Notes

Schedule D, Page 3, Part X

The organization has been recognized by the internal revenue service (irs) as exempt from federal income taxes under section 501(c)(3), qualifying for the charitable contribution deduction under section 170(b)(1)(a)(vi), and has been determined not to be a private foundation under section 509(a). The organization is annually required to file a return of organization exempt from income tax (form 990) and is subject to income tax on net income that is derived from business activities that are unrelated to their exempt purposes. Management has determined that the organization is not subject to unrelated business income tax. Management believes that the organization has appropriate support for any tax positions taken in its annual filing and does not have any uncertain tax positions that are material to the financial statements.
