      General Explanation Supplemental Information for Form 990-PF STATEMENT 21FORM 990PF, PART VII-B, LINE 5CEXEMPTION FROM TAX ON TAXABLE EXPENDITURESDuring 2021, the Foundation made a grant of $735,000 to The Greenpark Foundation, Inc. (Greenpark, Federal ID# 13-6155738). Greenpark is a private operating foundation and has as its sole purpose the ownership, operation, and maintenance of a park open to the public. The officers and directors of Greenpark are also officers/directors of the Foundation. As such they are under common control.During 2021, Greenpark used the grant paid from the Foundation for the operation and maintenance of the park. In addition, Greenpark treated none of the grant as a qualifying distribution on its tax return for 2021 (Form 990PF), thereby allowing the grant of $735,000 to be treated as a qualifying distribution by the Foundation. Due to the common control of Greenpark and the foundation, the foundation has not formalized pre-grant and post-grant letters. It believes the Requirements of IRS Reg. 53.4945-5(d) are satisfied by the indicia of common control of the grantor and grantee.
