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 520829 North America Not the United States Program services Development Projects 513500 1034329 1034329 false false false false false false true Farmer Support 73 687263 Awards & Grants 14 39341 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.
