Financial Statement Notes

PART V, LINE 4:

The organization's permanently restricted funds consist of four individual donor-restricted funds. The bacharach service award is named for professor jere l. Bacharach. This award recognizes the contributions of individuals through their outstanding service to mesa or the academic profession. Service is defined broadly to include work in diverse areas including, but not limited to, outreach, librarianship, and film. Each year the mesa board of directors selects the winner who receives a cash award of $1,000. The kerr dissertation award honors the significant contribution of malcolm h. Kerr to middle east studies. Two awards were established in 1982 to recognize exceptional achievement in research and writing for/of dissertations in middle east studies. A $1,000 cash award is given yearly to the winner in each category of social sciences and humanities. The hourani book award honors albert hourani for his long and distinguished career as teacher and mentor. The award was established in 1991 to recognize outstanding publishing in middle east studies. Each year the winner of this award receives $1,000 (in the case of shared award, each recipient receives $500). The mentoring award was established in 1995 to recognize exceptional contributions that retired faculty have made to the education and training of others. Each year the mesa board of directors selects the winner who receives an award certificate.

PART X, LINE 2:

Financial statements asc 740 footnote: the organization is exempt from federal income taxes under both federal internal revenue code section 501(c)(3) and arizona income tax laws, and is classified as other than a private foundation under section 509(a)(2).
