Income generated from activities unrelated to the Organizations exempt purposes is subject to tax under IRC Section 511. The Organization had no unrelated business income for the year ended December 31, 2024. Accordingly, no provision or liability has been reported.GAAP requires the evaluation of tax positions taken in the course of preparing the Organizations tax return and recognition of a tax liability (or asset) if the Organization has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the IRS. Management has analyzed the tax position taken by the Organization and has concluded that as of December 31, 2024, there are no uncertain tax position taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability (or asset) or disclosure in the financial statements.
