be used to support various functions of the Zoo Miami Foundation, Zoo Miami and specific conservation endeavors as prescribed by their donors Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 The Foundation is a non-profit corporation which is exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and, accordingly, generally would not incur income taxes. As a result, the financial statements do not reflect a provision for income taxes. The Foundation recognizes and measures tax positions based on their technical merit and assesses the likelihood that the positions will be sustained upon examination based on the facts, circumstances and information available at the end of each period. Interest and penalties on tax liabilities, if any, would be recorded in interest expense and other non-interest expense, respectively. The U.S. Federal jurisdiction is the major tax jurisdiction where the Foundation files income tax returns. The Foundation is generally no longer subject to U.S. Federal examinations by tax authorities for fiscal years before 2021.
