For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Center did not conduct any unrelated business activities that would be subject to federal income taxes and had no uncertain tax positions. Therefore, no tax provision or liability has been reported.GAAP requires the evaluation of tax positions taken in the course of preparing the Centers tax returns and recognition of a tax liability (or asset) if the Center has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Management has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Center, and has concluded that as of December 31, 2025, there are no uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability (or asset) or disclosure in the financial statements. false 50TH BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION 64367 53654 10713 2980 10713 7340 6500 64367 53654 10713 2980 10713 7340 6500 27533 -16820 X false false false false false false false false false CHRIS BUTLER Executive Dir. 158689 750 7972 15362 182773 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b THE FORM 990 IS REVIEWED BY THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AND FINANCE COMMITTEE PRIOR TO FILING.
