The Foundation has adopted an accounting standard regarding uncertain tax positions. The standard prescribes a minimum threshold that a tax position is required to meet in order to be recognized in the financial statements. The Foundation believes that it had no uncertain tax positions and has no income tax related penalties or interest for the periods presented in the financial statements. Should penalties and interest be incurred, the Foundation's policy is to recognize them as general and administrative expenses on the statements of activities and functional expenses.
