        <ExplanationTxt>THE ORGANIZATION IS EXEMPT FROM TAXES UNDER SECTION 501(C)(3) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE AS AN OTHER THAN PRIVATE FOUNDATION. THEREFORE, NO PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES HAS BEEN RECORDED. THE ORGANIZATION ACCOUNTS FOR UNCERTAIN INCOME TAX POSITIONS BY PRESCRIBING A MINIMUM PROBABILITY THRESHOLD A TAX POSITION MUST MEET BEFORE A FINANCIAL STATEMENT INCOME TAX BENEFIT IS RECOGNIZED. THE MINIMUM THRESHOLD IS DEFINED AS A TAX POSITION, BASED SOLELY ON ITS TECHNICAL MERITS, THAT WOULD MORE LIKELY THAN NOT BE SUSTAINED UPON EXAMINATION BY THE RELEVANT TAX AUTHORITY WITH KNOWLEDGE OF THE SAME FACTS. THE TAX BENEFIT TO BE RECOGNIZED IS MEASURED AS THE LARGEST AMOUNT OF BENEFIT THAT IS GREATER THAN 50% LIKELY OF BEING REALIZED UPON ULTIMATE RESOLUTION. BASED ON ALL KNOWN FACTS, CIRCUMSTANCES, AND CURRENT TAX LAW, THE ORGANIZATION BELIEVES THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF UNCERTAIN INCOME TAX POSITION LIABILITIES AND RELATED ACCRUED INTEREST ARE NOT MATERIAL TO ITS FINANCIAL POSITION. AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2024, AND INCLUDING THE PREVIOUS THREE (3) YEARS CONSIDERING EXTENSIONS, THE ORGANIZATION'S INCOME TAX RETURNS ARE OPEN AND SUBJECT TO EXAMINATION BY TAX AUTHORITIES WITH RELEVANT JURISDICTION. SHOULD SUCH AN EXAMINATION TAKE PLACE, MANAGEMENT DOES NOT ANTICIPATE ANY SIGNIFICANT ISSUES RELATED TO THE OPEN YEARS.</ExplanationTxt>
