ReturnReference Explanation
PART III ACCOUNTING METHOD:  
PART I, LINE 2: PEW'S PROCEDURES FOR MONITORING THE USE OF GRANT FUNDS OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES ARE MODELED AFTER THE "EXPENDITURE RESPONSIBILITY" RULES (SEE TREAS. REG. 53.4945-5) AND ARE DESIGNED TO FULFILL THE PURPOSES OF EXPENDITURE RESPONSIBILITY, NAMELY THAT GRANT FUNDS ARE EXPENDED SOLELY FOR THEIR INTENDED CHARITABLE PURPOSE, THAT PEW RECEIVES COMPLETE REPORTS REGARDING HOW THE FUNDS WERE SPENT, AND THAT PEW IS ABLE TO PROVIDE FULL REPORTS TO THE IRS REGARDING THE GRANTED FUNDS. FIRST, TO HELP ASSURE THAT THE GRANTEE WILL USE THE GRANT FOR PROPER PURPOSES, PEW CONDUCTS A PRE-GRANT INQUIRY INTO EACH POTENTIAL GRANTEE, WHICH INCLUDES DILIGENCE REGARDING THE GRANTEE'S PROGRAMS, EXPERIENCE, FINANCES, MANAGEMENT, AND REPUTATION; VERIFICATION OF THE GRANTEE'S CORPORATE AND TAX STATUS; AND A SEARCH OF THE U.S. TREASURY DEPARTMENT OFFICE OF FOREIGN ASSET CONTROL'S (OFAC) SANCTIONS PROGRAM LISTINGS TO CONFIRM THAT THE GRANTEE IS NEITHER A KNOWN TERRORIST NOR HAS TIES TO KNOWN TERRORISTS. SECOND, PEW ENTERS INTO A WRITTEN GRANT AGREEMENT WITH EACH GRANTEE, IN WHICH PEW SECURES THE GRANTEE'S COMMITMENTS: (I) TO USE THE GRANT FUNDS SOLELY FOR PURPOSES CONSISTENT WITH PEW'S TAX-EXEMPT STATUS UNDER SECTION 501(C)(3) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE; (II) NOT TO USE ANY GRANT FUNDS DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY TO SUPPORT OR OPPOSE ANY CANDIDATE FOR PUBLIC OFFICE OR TO PROVIDE A BENEFIT TO ANY POLITICAL PARTY OR CANDIDATE; (III) TO MAINTAIN RECORDS OF THE GRANTEE'S RECEIPTS AND EXPENDITURES AND MAKE ITS BOOKS AND RECORDS AVAILABLE FOR REVIEW BY PEW AT REASONABLE TIMES; (IV) TO SUBMIT COMPLETE REPORTS, ON A REASONABLE BASIS THROUGHOUT THE TERM OF THE GRANT, ON THE EXPENDITURE OF GRANT FUNDS AND PROGRESS TOWARD ACCOMPLISHING THE PURPOSES OF THE GRANT; (V) TO ALLOW PEW, AT PEW'S DISCRETION AND EXPENSE, TO CONDUCT EVALUATIONS AND AUDIT RECORDS RELATED TO THE GRANTEE'S GRANT-FUNDED ACTIVITIES AND USE OF GRANT FUNDS; AND (VI) TO REPAY ANY PORTION OF THE GRANT THAT IS NOT USED FOR THE CHARITABLE PURPOSE OF THE GRANT. PEW ALSO REQUIRES EACH GRANTEE TO CERTIFY IN WRITING THAT IT DOES NOT AND WILL NOT PROMOTE OR ENGAGE IN VIOLENCE OR TERRORISM AND SHALL AT ALL TIMES COMPLY WITH THE RELEVANT LAWS PROHIBITING TRANSACTIONS WITH INDIVIDUALS AND ORGANIZATIONS ASSOCIATED WITH TERRORISM. THIRD, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THE GRANT, PEW'S GRANTEES MUST SUBMIT PERIODIC NARRATIVE AND FINANCIAL REPORTS THROUGHOUT THE TERM OF THE GRANT, AND A FINAL REPORT AT THE END OF THE GRANT TERM, DESCRIBING HOW THE GRANT FUNDS WERE SPENT AND WHAT WAS ACCOMPLISHED AND PROVIDING A REASONABLY DETAILED ACCOUNT OF THE ACTIVITIES CONDUCTED IN FURTHERANCE OF THE AGREED-UPON CHARITABLE OBJECTIVES. PEW ALSO MAY EXERCISE OVERSIGHT OVER THE GRANTEE THROUGH OTHER MEANS DESIGNED TO ENSURE ALL GRANT FUNDS ARE USED APPROPRIATELY, SUCH AS IN-PERSON SITE VISITS, MONITORING, AND EVALUATION.
PART I, LINE 3: NON-EMPLOYEE EXPENDITURES ARE REPORTED BASED ON THE DOMICILE OF THE VENDOR TO WHICH FUNDS ARE TRANSFERRED. EMPLOYEE EXPENDITURES ARE REPORTED BASED ON THE EMPLOYEE'S HOME LOCATION. PEW DOES NOT SEPARATELY TRACK INDIRECT EXPENDITURES TO FOREIGN ACTIVITIES. AS SUCH, PER THE IRS FORM 990 INSTRUCTIONS, THE AMOUNTS PRESENTED IN SCHEDULE F DO NOT INCLUDE AN INDIRECT ALLOCATION OF EXPENDITURES.
PART II, LINE 1 (ACCOUNTING METHOD): GRANTS ARE REPORTED ON THE ACCRUAL BASIS, THE SAME METHOD USED FOR THE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
