Income Taxes

The Foundation, a nonprofit organization operating under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, is generally exempt from federal, state, and local income taxes. The Foundation's management does not believe the Foundation has any unrelated business income. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes is recorded in the financial statements.

Fair Value Measurements

The Foundation classifies its investments based on a hierarchy consisting of: Level 1 (valued using quoted prices from active markets for identical assets), Level 2 (not traded on an active market but for which observable market inputs are readily available), and Level 3 (valued based on significant unobservable inputs). The investment's fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value. There have been no changes in the methodologies used as of June 30, 2022.

Common Stocks, Municipal Bonds, Corporate Bonds, U.S. Government Securities, and Equity Exchange Traded Funds

Valued at the closing price reported on the active market on which the individual securities are traded. Some Level 2 inputs are used for pricing of municipal and corporate bonds; therefore, they are all classified as Level 2.
