ExplanationThe Foundation is a not-for-profit organization that is exempt from income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and classified by the Internal Revenue Service as other than a private foundation. However, income from activities not directly related to the tax-exempt purpose is subject to taxation as unrelated business income. There was no tax on unrelated business income for the year ended December 31, 2021.Effective October 1, 2009, the Foundation adopted Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Tax guidance FASB ASC 740 Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. Accordingly, the Foundation recognizes the effect of income tax positions only when those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. The Foundation believes the adoption of this guidance had no material impact on the Foundations financial statements.ExplanationTxt

ExplanationDecisions to award Sentinels of Freedom Scholarships (grants/assistance) are made by the Board of Directors of the Foundation and are recorded in board meeting minutes. The Board deliberation in awarding a scholarship involves a review of the application and other input and a discussion of candidate interviews. While the decision to award a scholarship is recorded, the details of the deliberation are not. The amounts of the scholarships are needs-based, with the amount varying as needs arise over the life of the scholarship. Scholarship grants are normally paid by the Foundation directly to property owners, vendors or others supporting the Sentinels over the life of the Scholarship.ExplanationTxt
