Notable Financial History: The foundation experienced a significant loss from an investment in Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities. In 2008, when the theft loss was originally uncovered, a qualified investment deduction was taken. In subsequent years, remaining amounts of the investment not previously deducted were deducted as it was determined there was no further chance of recovery.
