| Part X, Line 2: | The Foundation has evaluated its tax positions and determined that there are no uncertain tax positions that require financial statement recognition. Based on this review, no reserves for uncertain tax positions were required for the Foundation's open tax years. The Foundation's tax returns remain open for examination by tax authorities for a period of three years from when they are filed. The Foundation is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months. |
