| Form And Line Reference | Part X, Line 2: | FormAndLineReferenceDesc |
| Explanation | BLSYW is exempt from the payment of income taxes on income other than net unrelated business income under Section 501(c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The provisions included in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America provide consistent guidance for the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity's financial statements and prescribe a threshold of "more likely than not" for recognition of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. BLSYW performed an evaluation of uncertain tax positions as of June 30, 2017 and 2016, and determined that there were no matters that would require recognition in the financial statements or that may have any effect on its tax-exempt status. As of June 30, 2017, the statute of limitations for fiscal years 2014 through 2017 remain open with the U.S. Federal jurisdiction or the state and local jurisdiction in which BLSYW files tax returns. It is BLSYW's policy to recognize interest and/or penalties related to uncertain tax positions, if any, as income tax expense. | ExplanationTxt |

| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11b | The Audit Committee reviews a draft of the Form 990 in detail and provides any comments or changes to the tax preparers.

| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c | The conflict of interest policy applies to all employees and board members. All board members have signed and returned the policy which the Foundation maintains in their files. In addition, management inquires of current board members the status of their independence and advises them to disclose any conflicts of interest at the quarterly board meeting. The Executive Committee of the board and the Executive Director review all conlficts of interest that are disclosed to the board. The Executive Committee determines whether an actual conflict of interest exists. If the Executive Committee determines that a board member has a conflict of interest that member would be asked to abstain from a vote where the conflict was an issue or, if necessary, asked to step down from the board. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15 | The Executive Director met with the Board Chair for self-evaluation and formal evaulation. |
