THE PURPOSE OF THE ENDOWMENT FUND IS TO SUPPORT THE MISSION OF HEROES FOR CHILDREN. Part X : FIN48 Footnote HFC is exempt from federal income taxes under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) and has not been classified as a private foundation as defined in the IRC. Income generated from activities unrelated to HFCs exempt purpose is subject to tax under IRC Section 511. HFC had no unrelated business income for the year ended December 31, 2016. GAAP requires the evaluation of tax positions taken in the course of preparing HFCs tax returns and recognition of a tax liability (or asset) if HFC has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Management has analyzed the tax positions taken by HFC, and has concluded that as of December 31, 2016, there are no uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability (or asset) or disclosure in the financial statements. false DALLAS HANDBAGS 260766 229341 31425 1644 38794 4540 9481 HOUSTON HANDBAGS 192135 179745 12390 3169 17850 1315 7089 6 432801 301107 131694 18977 70526 2465 26148 885702 710193 175509 23790 127170 8320 42718 201998 -26489 true 0 0 FAMILY AND SOCIAL ASSISTANCE 611 507819 FMV Grantmaker's Description of How Grants are Used NO REQUEST FOR FINANCIAL OR SOCIAL ASSISTANCE WILL BE ACCEPTED WITHOUT A FORMAL REQUEST FROM THE HEROES FOR CHILDREN WEBSITE.
