Part X : FIN48 Footnote The organization adopted the authoritative guidance relating to accounting for uncertainty in income taxes included in ASC Topic Income Taxes. These provisions provide consistent guidance for the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity's financial statements and prescribe a threshold of "more likely than not" for recognition and de-recognition of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in tax return. The Organization performed an evaluation of uncertain tax positions for the year ended August 31, 2024 and determined that there were no matters that would require recognition in the financial statements or that may have effect on its tax-exempt status. As of August 31, 2024, the Statute of Limitations for the Form 990 for tax years 2021-2023 remains open with the Internal Revenue Service. It is the organization's policy to recognize interest and/or penalties related to uncertain tax positions, if any, in income tax expense. true 0 0 Scholarships 9 37285 FMV X false false false false false false false false false Meredith McMahon Executive Direc 142455 8772 6065 157292 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b A DRAFT COPY OF FORM 990 IS PROVIDED TO THE ORGANIZATION IN ADVANCE OF FILING, THE BOARD REVIEWS THE FORM FOR COMPLETENESS AND CONFIRMS ANY CHANGES THAT ARE REQUIRED BEFORE FILING THE 990.
