In addition, the Organization has been determined by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) not to be a private foundation within the meaning of Section 509(a) of the IRC. For the year ended december 31, 2023, the Organization had no unrelated business income. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been provided.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 positions taken by the organization, and has concluded that as of December 31, 2023, there are no uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability (or asset) or disclosure in the financial statements. true Europe 0 1 Program Services Bible Translation 352708 South America 0 0 Program Services Bible Translation 525160 Sub-Saharan Africa 0 0 Program Services Bible Translation 784681 south asia 0 1 program services bible translation 313306 2 2 1975855 1975855 EUROPE BIBLE TRANS 352708 WIRE SOUTH AMERICA BIBLE TRANS. 525160 WIRE SOUTH ASIA BIBLE TRANS. 313306 WIRE SUB-SAHARAN AFR BIBLE TRANS. 784681 WIRE 4 false false false false false false Part I, Line 2 - Grantmakers Explanation For Monitoring Use of Funds Outside US We have a Financial Business Analyst who examines proposals for funding projects outside of the US and then receives ongoing financial reports detailing how that funding is being spent.
