THE INTENTION OF THESE FUNDS IS TO ESTABLISH A RELATIVELY RELIABLE AND STEADY INCOME STREAM FOR SPECIFIC PROJECTS THE ORGANIZATION WISHES TO UNDERTAKE BUT MAY NOT OTHERWISE RECEIVE DONOR FUNDING FOR. Part X : FIN48 Footnote The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has determined that the corporation is exempt from federal income taxes under Internal Revenue Code section 501(c)(3). In addition, it has been determined that the corporation is not a private foundation within the meaning of Section 509(a) of the Code. It is also exempt from state income taxes.The Organization has evaluated its tax positions for all open tax years. Currently, the tax years open and subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service are the 2020, 2021, and 2022 tax years. However, the Organization is not currently under audit nor has the Organization been contacted by any jurisdiction. Based on the evaluation of the Organizations tax positions, management believes all tax positions taken would be upheld under examination. Therefore, no provision for the effects of uncertain tax positions have been recorded for the year ended December 31, 2023 or 2022, respectively. Further, no interest or penalties have been accrued or charged to expense as of December 31, 2023 or 2022, respectively.
