        <Explanation>The Foundation adopted guidance related to uncertainty in income taxes on July 1, 2009. After evaluating the tax positions taken, none are considered to be uncertain; therefore, no amounts have been recognized as of June 30, 2011 or 2010. If incurred, interest and penalties associated with tax positions are recorded in the period assessed as general and administrative expense. No interest or penalties have been assessed as of June 30, 2011 or 2010. Tax years that remain subject to examination include 2007 through current.</Explanation>
