Return Reference Explanation
PART IV, LINE 2B: BECAUSE MANY CHARITIES DO NOT HAVE THE INHOUSE EXPERTISE TO CONTROL AND INVEST ENDOWMENT DOLLARS, THE ARIZONA COMMUNITY FOUNDATION LEVERAGES ITS EXPERTISE IN THE CONTROL AND INVESTMENT OF CHARITABLE FUNDS TO EXPAND THE CAPACITY OF LOCAL CHARITIES AND INCREASE THE POOL OF PHILANTHROPIC DOLLARS BY BUILDING DONOR CONFIDENCE IN THE MANAGEMENT OF THOSE FUNDS. FOR THOSE ORGANIZATIONS WE HELP, THE ARIZONA COMMUNITY FOUNDATION HOLDS CERTAIN ENDOWMENTS FUNDS ON THEIR BEHALF. ALTHOUGH EACH ORGANIZATION HAS THE OPTION OF SETTING A PREDETERMINED PAYOUT RATE, EACH ORGANIZATION ALSO HAS THE ABILITY TO REQUEST THE ENTIRE BALANCE AT ANY TIME UPON APPROVAL OF THE CHARITY'S BOARD. IN SOME, BUT NOT ALL, CASES SUCH WITHDRAWALS MUST ALSO BE APPROVED BY THE ARIZONA COMMUNITY FOUNDATION BOARD. ULTIMATELY, ALL INVESTMENT RESULTS ON THOSE FUNDS ACCRUE TO THE BENEFIT OF THE RESPECTIVE CHARITY. ACCORDINGLY, THE ORGANIZATION RECORDS A LIABILITY TO THE CHARITIES FOR THE BALANCE IN THOSE FUNDS ON PART X, LINE 21;
PART V, LINE 4: GRANTS AND OTHER PROGRAMMATIC ACTIVITIES SUPPORTING: ARTS, CULTURE, AND HUMANITIES; COMMUNITY, NEIGHBORHOOD & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT; EDUCATION, SCHOLARSHIPS; ENVIRONMENT & SPECIES PROTECTION; HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES; LAW, JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY.
PART X, LINE 2: THE FOUNDATION QUALIFIES AS A TAX-EXEMPT ORGANIZATIONS UNDER SECTION 501(C)(3) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE (THE "CODE") AND, ACCORDINGLY, THERE IS NO PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES FOR THE ORGANIZATION. IN ADDITION, IT QUALIFIES FOR THE CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTION DEDUCTION UNDER SECTION 170 OF THE CODE AND HAS BEEN CLASSIFIED AS AN ORGANIZATION THAT IS NOT A PRIVATE FOUNDATION. INCOME DETERMINED TO BE UNRELATED BUSINESS TAXABLE INCOME ("UBTI") WOULD BE TAXABLE. THE FOUNDATION EVALUATES ITS UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS, IF ANY, ON A CONTINUAL BASIS THROUGH REVIEW OF THEIR POLICIES AND PROCEDURES, REVIEW OF THEIR REGULAR TAX FILINGS, AND DISCUSSIONS WITH OUTSIDE EXPERTS. AT MARCH 31, 2021, MANAGEMENT BELIEVES THE FOUNDATION DID NOT HAVE ANY UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS.
PART XI, LINE 2D - OTHER ADJUSTMENTS: FUNDRAISING EVENT EXPENSES 60,293. SUPPORT FOUNDATIONS REVENUE 50,524,117. INTERFUND GIFTS -1,980,149. CHANGE IN SPLIT INTEREST AGREEMENT 5,916,553.
PART XII, LINE 2D - OTHER ADJUSTMENTS: INTERFUND GIFTS -1,980,149. SUPPORT FOUNDATIONS EXPENSES 15,376,069. FUNDRAISING EVENT EXPENSES 60,293. RECLASSIFICATION OF FUND TYPE CATEGORY 273,468.
PART V, LINE 1A THE FOUNDATION'S ENDOWMENTS CONSIST OF APPROXIMATELY 800 COMPONENT FUNDS ESTABLISHED BY DONORS FOR A VARIETY OF PURPOSES. THE BYLAWS OF THE FOUNDATION INCLUDE VARIANCE LANGUAGE GIVING THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS THE POWER, WHENEVER ANY RESTRICTION OR CONDITION ON THE DISTRIBUTION OF FUNDS BECOMES, IN EFFECT, UNNECESSARY, INCAPABLE OF FULFILLMENT OR INCONSISTENT WITH THE CHARITABLE PURPOSE OF THE FOUNDATION, TO MODIFY ANY RESTRICTION OR CONDITION PLACED ON THE DISTRIBUTION OF FUNDS AND TO APPLY THE WHOLE OR ANY PART OF THE PRINCIPAL OR INCOME OF FUNDS AS IN ITS JUDGMENT IS NECESSARY TO SERVE MORE EFFECTIVELY THE CHARITABLE PURPOSE OF THE FOUNDATION. BASED ON THIS PROVISION, ALL CONTRIBUTIONS AND ASSETS NOT CLASSIFIED AS TEMPORARILY RESTRICTED DUE TO TIMING RESTRICTIONS ARE CLASSIFIED AS UNRESTRICTED. THOUGH THESE FUNDS ARE CLASSIFIED AS UNRESTRICTED, THE FOUNDATION MANAGES THE FUNDS ESTABLISHED BY DONORS AS ENDOWED FUNDS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS SET FORTH IN THE INDIVIDUAL FUND AGREEMENTS BY DESIGNATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS. AS REQUIRED BY ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES GENERALLY ACCEPTED IN THE UNITED STATES, NET ASSETS ASSOCIATED WITH ENDOWMENT FUNDS, INCLUDING FUNDS DESIGNATED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS TO FUNCTION AS ENDOWMENTS, ARE CLASSIFIED AND REPORTED BASED ON THE EXISTENCE OR ABSENCE OF DONOR-IMPOSED RESTRICTIONS. IN SEPTEMBER 2008, THE STATE OF ARIZONA ENACTED ARS 10-11801 ET SEQ MANAGEMENT OF CHARITABLE FUNDS ACT ("MCFA"). THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE FOUNDATION HAS INTERPRETED MCFA AS REQUIRING THE PRESERVATION OF THE FAIR VALUE OF THE ORIGINAL GIFT AS OF THE GIFT DATE OF THE DONOR-RESTRICTED ENDOWMENT FUNDS ABSENT EXPLICIT DONOR STIPULATIONS TO THE CONTRARY. AT MARCH 31, 2021, THE FOUNDATION HAD NO DONOR-RESTRICTED ENDOWMENT FUNDS, OTHER THAN THOSE REPORTED AS TEMPORARILY RESTRICTED UNTIL THE EXPIRATION OF TIME RESTRICTIONS, AS THE BOARD HAS DETERMINED THAT THE FOUNDATION'S ENDOWMENTS DO NOT MEET THE DEFINITION OF DONOR-RESTRICTED ENDOWMENTS UNDER MCFA.
