Income tax benefits are recognized for income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, only when it is determined that the income tax position will more-likely-than-not be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. Sonoma Valley Education Foundation has analyzed tax positions taken for filing with the Internal Revenue Service and all state jurisdictions where it operates. Sonoma Valley Education Foundation believes that income tax filing positions will be sustained upon examination and does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material adverse effect on Sonoma Valley Education Foundations financial condition, results of operations or cashflows. Accordingly, Sonoma Valley Education Foundation has not recorded any reserves, or related accruals for interest and penalties for uncertain tax positions at June 30, 2019. Sonoma Valley Education Foundation is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. false Red and White Ball 670871 450368 220503 220503 670871 450368 220503 220503 220503 false Sonoma Valley Unified School District -17850 Railroad Ave Sonoma CA 95476 946002635 798520 0 General support childhood learning 0 1 Additional Supplemental Information Part I, Line 2:All grants have unique reporting policies associated with them and the Foundation follows the appropriate protocols for each grant.
