ReturnReference Explanation
Part I, Line 2: Maine Community Foundation only awards grants to qualified US charitable organizations as described in Section 170(c)(1) or (2) of the Internal Revenue Code. Any grants that are ultimately used for activities conducted in foreign countries are initially awarded to US organizations, who pass the money on to a foreign recipient. Grants to organizations are initiated by recommendation from a donor via a grant recommendation form. Prior to awarding any grant, a determination is made that the organization is a 501(c)(3) or a public organization in good standing. An award letter is sent with each grant payment. The award letter clearly states the purpose of the grant and the terms of the award which include that the organization will use the grant only for the purpose stated in the letter. The award letter also states that by depositing the grant check, the organization agrees to and accepts the terms of the award.
Part III Accounting Method:  
Part IV, Line 3, 4, and 5: This Organization did not have an ownership of any foreign corporation that would be greater than the 10% ownership filing threshold. Accordingly, IRS Form(s) 5471 is not required to be filed. The Organization did not have any direct or indirect transfer during the year in excess of $100,000 nor did it hold any interest greater than 10% in any foreign partnership. Accordingly, IRS Form 8865 is not required to be filed. The Organization meets the exception for tax-exempt organizations with respect to filing Form 8621. Form 8621 is not required to be filed for the Organization.
