The Organization accounts for uncertainty in income tax positions in the financial statements by applying a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for financial statement recognition and measure of a tax position take or expected to be taken in a tax return. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken and has concluded that as of August 31, 2025, there are no uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. If the Organization were to incur an income tax liability in the future, the interest on any tax liability would be reported as interest expense and penalties on any income tax liability would be reported as income taxes. The Organization is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods pending or in progress. The Organizations Forms 990 for the years ending August 31, 2022-2025 are subject to examination. false OSCAR HAMMERSTEIN 181905 30875 151030 27700 SPRING BENEFIT 25461 25461 207366 30875 176491 27700 27700 148791 false false false false false false false false false JAMES MORGAN PRODUCING ARTISTIC DIRECTOR 77785 77785 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b THE TREASURER WILL PRESENT A SUMMARY OF THE DRAFT FORM 990 TO THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE, ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD, FOR REVIEW AND APPROVAL IN A TIMELY FASHION.
