income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and therefore has made no provision for federal income taxes in the accompanying financial statement. Management is not aware of any transactions which would jeopardize their tax-exempt status. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Foundation and to recognize a tax liability (or asset) if the Foundation has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be substantiated upon examination by the Internal Revenue Service. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Foundation and has concluded that as of August 31, 2025 and 2024, there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability (or asset) or disclosure in the financial statements. The Organization is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. U.S. state jurisdictions have statutes of limitations that generally range from three to five years.
