As explained below, the Foundation has no plans for dissolution. This statement is submitted to report the distribution of certain assets during the year. The distributions resulted in a substantial contraction of assets. The following information is submitted in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.6043-3(a)(1) and the Form 990-PF instructions: During the taxable year ending December 31, 2023, the Foundation made distributions from assets from sources other than current income.
