Part X, Line 2:	The Institute was granted an exemption from federal income taxes by the Internal Revenue Service pursuant to the provisions of Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3). The Institute qualifies for the charitable contribution deduction under Section 170 and has been classified as an Institute that is not a private foundation under Section 509(a)(2). The tax-exempt purpose of the Institute and the nature in which it operates is described above. Management believes the Institute continues to operate in compliance with its tax-exempt purpose. Thus, no provision for income tax has been provided for in the financial statements. The Institute's Form 990, Return of Institute Exempt from Income Tax, is subject to examination by the IRS, generally for three years after it has been filed. The Institute has adopted the requirements for accounting for uncertain tax positions and management has determined that the Institute was not required to record a liability related to uncertain tax positions as of June 30, 2021.
