Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements do not reflect provisions for federal and state income taxes. The Organization evaluates tax positions requiring recognition using a more-likely-than-not threshold, and those tax positions requiring recognition are measured at the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. The Organization has evaluated the likelihood of their tax-exempt status being challenged as remote. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2024 or 2023, the Organization has not included any income tax provisions, including interest and penalties, in the financial statements.
