The Endowment Fund is intended to provide funds to meet special targets of opportunity or need that further the mission of the organization. The Endowment Fund is also intended as a source of internal ongoing support for SRA operations and programs. Part X : FIN48 Footnote On January 1, 2009, the Organization adopted FIN48, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the Organizations financial statements in accordance with SFAS 109 and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on recognition and measurement of a tax return position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material effect on the Organization. The Organization files income tax returns in the US federal jurisdiction, and the State of California. The Organizations federal income tax returns for tax year 2011 and beyond remind subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service, and the Organizations California income tax returns for the tax year 2011 and beyond remain subject to examination by the California Franchise Tax Board. The Organization did not have unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2024, and does not expect to change significantly over the next 12 months. In connection with the adoption of FIN 48, the Organization will recognize interest and penalties accrued or any unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. As of June 30, 2024, the Organization has not accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions. false Del Norte Fire Safe Council PO Box 1135 Crescent City CA 95531 943413884 0 86600 FMV Cal-Line wood chipper Support fire protection work 0 1 Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 2 Grant D.
