As such, the Foundation is generally exempt from income taxes. However, the Foundation is required to file Federal Form 990 Return of Organization Exempt from Income Tax and a corresponding state return, which are an informational returns only. The Foundation is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions. However, as of the date the financial statements were available to be issued, there were no audits for any tax periods in progress. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Foundation and recognize a tax liability if the Foundation has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by various federal and state taxing authorities. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Foundation, and has concluded that as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability or disclosure in the accompanying financial statements. true Europe 0 0 Grants to recipients Medical research 85000 85000 85000 Europe Medical Research 10000 Wire Europe Medical Research 75000 Check 2 false false false false false false X X X X X false Dickerson Bakker 7511 Mourning Dove Rd Raleigh NC 27615 Solicitation of grants false 10000 72000 Jennifer Chalos & Assoc 1307 Lone Oak Cir Nashville TN 37215 Solicitation of Grants false 1500000 8000 1492000 1510000 80000 1492000 AL AK AR CO CT FL GA HI KS KY ME MD MI MN MS MO NV NH NM NY NC ND OH OK OR PA RI SC TN UT WA WV WI CA DC IL LA MA NJ VA true Emory University 1599 Clifton Road Atlana GA 30322 580566256 501(c)(3) 100000 0 ALS research grant Hope Loves Company 65 S Main Street Bldg C-101 Pennington NJ 08534 208418402 501(c)(3) 20000 0 Camp for ALS affected youth Johns Hopkins University 1800 Orleans Street Baltimore MD 21287 520595110 501(c)(3) 25000 0 ALS research grant Miami University 401 High Street Oxford OH 45056 501(c)(3) 10000 0 ALS research grant Permobil Foundation 300 Duke Drive Lebanon TN 37090 813029754 501(c)(3) 15000 0 Medical Wheelchair Support Grant Regents of the Univ of Mich 300 S State St Ann Arbor MI 48109 386006309 501(c)(3) 7500 0 ALS research grant Univ of Southern California 1425 San Pablo Street Los Angeles CA 90089 951642394 501(c)(3) 75000 0 ALS research grant University of Pittsburgh 500 Ross Street Pittsburgh PA 45262 250965591 501(c)(3) 75000 0 ALS research grant Vanderbilt Univ Medical Ctr 1161 21st Ave Nashville TN 37232 352528741 501(c)(3) 570000 0 ALS research grant 9 0 Educational scholarships 28 62690 Care for families affected by ALS 169 65175 Grantmaker's Description of How Grants are Used The organization monitors the use of grant funds via grant agreements with other organizations. false false false false false false false false false Wendy Faust Executive Dir. 160379 14946 175325 Part II, Compensation from Unrelated Organizations Directors received compensation from Phi Delta Theta Fraterntiy, an unrelated organization.
