| Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 | Income Taxes - The Organization is exempt from income tax under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.

Management believes that the Organization is currently operating in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. Therefore, no liability for unrecognized tax benefits has been included on the Organization's financial statements. The Organization's open audit periods are 2012-2014. |
