DescOther Programs: The Witherspoon Institute occasionally provides advice, grants, or other support for organizations or scholars whose missions are very similar to its own. The Institute does not accept applications for such support. Such support develops out of preexisting relationships that that the Institute may have with scholars through the Institutes own programming. In 2021 the Institute provided such advice and support for programs at Princeton University and other institutions.Desc

Form And Line ReferencePart X : FIN48 FootnoteFormAndLineReferenceDesc
ExplanationThe Institute is exempt from income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and comparable state law. The Institute is classified as a publicly supported organization which is not a private foundation as defined by Section 509(a) of the Code.In accordance with ASC Topic 740 Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, the Institute has evaluated its tax positions. A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is more-likely-than-not that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that has a likelihoodof being realized on examination of more than fifty percent. For tax positions not meeting the more-likely-than-not test, no tax benefit is recorded. Under the more-likely-than-not threshold guidelines, the Institute believes no significant uncertain tax positions exist, either individually or in the aggregate, that would give rise to the non-recognition of an existing tax benefit. In addition, the Institute had no material unrecognized tax benefits or accrued interest and penalties.The Institutes policy is to recognize interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in income tax expense.ExplanationTxt
