It is a Board-restricted fund that is intended to provide resources to fulfill the organization's mission. Generally, the fund may be used to support public policy and advocacy or other programs that align with the organization's mission, including new initiatives. Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 FIN 48 (ASC 740) footnote The Corporation is a not-for-profit Corporation exempt from federal income tax under Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3). Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been made. Also, the Corporation was determined by the Internal Revenue Service not to be a "private foundation" within the meaning of Section 509(a) of the Code. The Corporation follows guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board with respect to accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. The Corporation is generally not subject to federal or state income taxes except for certain income derived from unrelated business activities as defined by the IRC. Any such taxes resulting from unrelated business activities are insignificant to the operations of the Corporation. U.S. GAAP prescribes recognition thresholds and measurement attributes for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Tax benefits will be recognized only if the tax position is more-likely-than-not sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized will be the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the more-likely-than-not test, no tax benefit will be recorded. Management has concluded that they are unaware of any tax benefits or liabilities to be recognized at June 30, 2023. The Corporation does not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to significantly change in the next 12 months. The Corporation would recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest and income tax expense, respectively. The Corporation has no amounts accrued for interest or penalties as of June 30, 2023.
