Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Organization and recognize 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 applicable taxing authorities. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Organization 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 asset) or disclosure in the financial statements. There has been no tax related interest or penalties for the periods presented in these financial statements.
