Footnote for uncertain tax position under FIN 48 (Part X) CLW is exempt from Federal income taxes under Section 501(c)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Fund is exempt from Federal income taxes on its exempt activities under Section 527 of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been made in the accompanying financial statements. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been made in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The provisions included in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America provide consistent guidance for the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entitys financial statements and prescribe a threshold of more likely than not for recognition of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. CLW performed an evaluation of uncertain tax positions at year end, and determined that there were no matters that would require recognition in the consolidated financial statements or, which may have any effect on its tax-exempt status. At year end, the statute of limitations for tax years 2019 through 2021 remains open with the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and any state and local jurisdictions in which the Institute and the Fund file tax returns. false false false false false false John Tierney Executive Director 150732 6029 511 157272 Form 990 governing body review Part VI line 11 THE FORM 990 WAS PREPARED BY THE OUTSIDE ACCOUNTANTS AND REVIEWED BY SENIOR MANAGEMENT.
