Financial Statement Notes

Part V, Line 4: Intended uses of the endowment fund.

“Endowment funds intended uses (part v, line 4)the library board transferred funds to the vermont community foundation to establsih an endowment fund for the library. The purpose of the endowment fund is to provide for the purchase of books and other library materials for the library. The foundation invests the library's funds and makes distributions to the library annually, the amount of which is determined by the foundation's board. Additional distributions may be made to the library by vote of the foundation's board in case of financial emergency or other extreme circumstances. Although the terms of the transfer include granting the foundation variance power, it is presumed that the library has retained the future economic benefits of the transferred assets as prescribed by sfas 136.”
