Part V, Line 4:

In 2016, the Center created an endowment established for a variety of purposes. As required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, net assets associated with endowment funds are classified and reported based on the existence or absence of donor imposed restrictions.

Part X, Line 2:

no provision has been made in the accompanying financial statements for federal or state income taxes. The Center accounts for uncertainty in income taxes in accordance with the Income Tax Topic of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification ("FASB ASC"). The Center files a federal income tax return. The Center believes that it has appropriate support for any tax positions taken and, as such, does not have any uncertain tax positions that are material to the financial statements. The Center's Federal Exempt Organization Business Income Tax Returns (Form 990) for 2013 through 2015 are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service, generally for the three years after they were filed.
