Under that guidance, the Organization may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. Examples of tax positions include the tax-exempt status of the Organization and various positions related to the potential sources of unrelated business taxable income (UBIT). The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. There were no unrecognized tax benefits identified or recorded as liabilities as of year end. true Sub-Saharan Africa Program services Development Projects 1110007 North America Not the United States Program services Development Projects 301007 1411014 1411014 true Farmer Support 54 438369 X X X false false false false false false false false false Henry Arthur Cauley CEO 152000 4378 7805 164183 Ned Savoe - Harbour Light Inc Brother-in-Law of Henry Cauley 10511 Consulting false Form 990 governing body review Part VI line 11 The Board of Directors will be emailed the Form 990 draft and requested to provide any comments within several days of receipt.
