The Foundation has been classified as an organization that is not a private foundation under IRC Section 509(a)(2), and as such, contributions to the Foundation qualify for deductions as charitable contributions. However, income generated from activities unrelated to the Foundations exempt purpose is subject to tax under IRC Section 511. Management has concluded that any tax positions that would not meet the more-likely-than-not criterion of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 740-10, Accounting for Income Taxes, would be immaterial to the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements do not include any provision for uncertain tax positions, and no related interest or penalties have been recorded in the statement of activities or accrued in the statement of financial position. Federal and state tax returns of theentity are generally open to examination by the relevant taxing authorities for a period of three years from the date the returns are filed.
