        <ExplanationTxt>The Foundation is exempt from federal income tax under provision of Section 501(c)(3) of the IRC. Tax-exempt organizations could be required to record an obligation for income taxes as the result of a tax position they have historically taken on various tax exposure items including unrelated business income or tax status. Under guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, assets and liabilities are established for uncertain tax positions taken or positions expected to be taken in income tax returns when such positions are judged to not meet the "more-likely-than-not" threshold, based upon the technical merits of the position. Estimated interest and penalties, if applicable, related to uncertain tax positions are included as a component of income tax expense. Management has evaluated the Foundation's tax positions taken on its filed tax returns and concluded that the Foundation has maintained its tax-exempt status, does not have any significant unrelated business income and has taken no uncertain tax positions that require adjustment to the financial statements. The Foundation is no longer subject to income tax examinations by the U.S. Federal or State tax authorities for years before 2013.</ExplanationTxt>
