Income related to its charitable purpose is exempt from federal and state income taxes under the provisions of Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Organization has adopted the application of the provisions of FASB ASC 740-10 (formerly FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting For Uncertainty in Income Taxes).

The Organization currently evaluates all tax positions, and makes determinations regarding the likelihood of those positions being upheld under review. For the years presented, and as a result of adoption, the Organization has not recognized any tax benefits or loss contingencies for uncertain tax positions based on its evaluations. The Organizations Forms 990, Return of Organization Exempt from Income Tax, for the years ending December 31, 2023, 2022, 2021 and 2020 are subject to examination by the IRS, generally for 3 years after they were filed</ExplanationTxt>
