Financial Statement Notes

PART V, LINE 4:

“Endowment is permanently restricted. Interest is reinvested into the endowment.”

PART X, LINE 2:

“The foundation is a non-profit organization as described in section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code and is exempt from federal and state income taxes. Accordingly, there is no provision for income taxes. The foundation is not aware of any activities that would jeopardize its tax-exempt status, nor is it aware of any of its activities that are subject to tax on unrelated business income taxes. The foundation follows the guidance in the income tax standard regarding the recognition and measurement of uncertain tax positions. The guidance further prescribes recognition and measurement of tax provisions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return that are not certain to be realized. The application of this standard had no impact on the foundation's financial statements. The foundation's income tax returns are subject to review and examination by federal, state, and local authorities. The tax returns for the years 2011, 2012, and 2013 are open for federal and state tax examinations.”

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0POLICY REFORM PROJECTTHE POLICY REFORM PROJECT ENCOMPASSES FIRE'S EFFORTS TO PROACTIVELY AND SYSTEMATICALLY CHALLENGE CAMPUS POLICIES THAT VIOLATE STUDENTS' AND FACULTY MEMBERS' FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS. THROUGH IN-DEPTH RESEARCH AND LEGAL AND PUBLIC ADVOCACY, THIS PROJECT SECURES VITAL REFORMS TO SOME OF THE NATION'S MOST EGREGIOUS SPEECH CODES. FIRE STAFF MEMBERS REVIEW THOUSANDS OF UNIVERSITY POLICIES EACH YEAR AND CHALLENGE UNIVERSITIES TO REVISE THE WORST OF THEM BEFORE THEY ARE USED TO PUNISH INDIVIDUALS OR GROUPS ON CAMPUS. BY CORRESPONDING WITH ADMINISTRATORS AND COLLABORATING WITH STUDENTS AND FACULTY MEMBERS, FIRE HAS SECURED 75 VICTORIES SINCE 1999. OVERALL, FIRE'S DEFENSE AND POLICY ADVOCACY HAS BEEN RESPONSIBLE FOR CHANGING NEARLY 140 UNCONSTITUTIONAL OR REPRESSIVE POLICIES AFFECTING ALMOST 2.5 MILLION STUDENTS NATIONWIDE.FIRE WORKS TO REVEAL AND ELIMINATE UNCONSTITUTIONAL POLICIES FROM INDIVIDUAL CAMPUSES THROUGH THE FOLLOWING PROJECTS:SPOTLIGHT: FIRE'S SPOTLIGHT DATABASE, WHICH IS A COMPREHENSIVE SEARCHABLE ONLINE DATABASE THAT CATALOGS SPEECH CODES AT MORE THAN 400 SCHOOLS, REVEALS THEM TO THE PUBLIC, AND DEMONSTRATES HOW THESE CODES ARE USED TO PUNISH SPEECH ON CAMPUS. THIS EXTENSIVE DATABASE SERVES AS A RESOURCE FOR STUDENTS, PARENTS, AND MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC AS WELL AS FOR STUDENT, LOCAL, AND NATIONAL MEDIA. SPOTLIGHT'S DATA IS USED TO COMPILE FIRE'S ANNUAL SPEECH CODE REPORT. THIS ANALYSIS HAS RECORDED A GRADUAL DECREASE IN THE PERCENTAGE OF SCHOOLS THAT SYSTEMATICALLY VIOLATE STUDENTS' AND FACULTY MEMBERS' RIGHT TO FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION, SHOWING THAT FIRE'S RESEARCH CONTINUES TO YIELD IMPORTANT RESULTS ON CAMPUS.FIRE'S LEGAL TRANSFORMATION PROJECT, WHICH ENCOMPASSES FIRE'S EFFORTS TO ENGAGE ADMINISTRATORS AS PARTNERS IN CORRECTING POLICIES THROUGH OUTREACH LETTERS, PRESENTATIONS AT CONFERENCES, AND THE PUBLICATION AND DISTRIBUTION OF A HANDBOOK FOR SCHOOL OFFICIALS.

THROUGH THIS PROJECT, FIRE ALSO ENSURES THAT LEGAL PRECEDENT REMAINS STRONGLY IN FAVOR OF STUDENT RIGHTS BY BUILDING STRONG NON-PARTISAN COALITIONS AND BY STRATEGICALLY IDENTIFYING CASES TO TARGET WITH LEGAL ADVOCACY.
