Additional Explanations
Schedule R
“OPTIMIST INTERNATIONAL FOUNDATION (THE FOUNDATION) IS AFFILIATED WITH OPTIMIST INTERNATIONAL (THE ORGANIZATION), WHICH IS A SEPARATE 501(C)(4) ENTITY. THE FOUNDATION AND THE ORGANIZATION HAVE SEPARATE GOVERNING BODIES AND SEPARATE OFFICERS. HOWEVER, THE FOUNDATION WAS ESTABLISHED IN PRIOR YEARS TO COLLECT CONTRIBUTIONS FROM THE GENERAL PUBLIC AND ESTABLISH PROGRAM SERVICES THAT FURTHER EXECUTE THE ORGANIZATION'S CHARITABLE AND LITERARY ACTIVITIES. THE FOUNDATION UTILIZES THE ORGANIZATION TO PROCESS PAYROLL TRANSACTIONS ON ITS BEHALF. WHILE THE FOUNDATION DOES EMPLOY four INDIVIDUALS (INCLUDING THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE FOUNDATION), ALL REQUIRED PAYROLL FILINGS (W-2, W-3, 941) ARE FILED BY THE ORGANIZATION UNDER THE ORGANIZATION'S FEDERAL EMPLOYER IDENTIFICATION NUMBER. THE FOUNDATION REIMBURSES THE ORGANIZATION FOR 100% OF THE PAYROLL COSTS INCURRED FOR THESE Four EMPLOYEES. Two OF THE FOUNDATIONS FORMER EMPLOYEES ARE PARTICIPANTS IN A DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLAN SPONSORED BY THE ORGANIZATION. ONE OF THE FORMER EMPLOYEES, WHO WAS THE FORMER EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE FOUNDATION, IS CURRENTLY RECEIVING BENEFIT PAYMENTS FROM THE PLAN (THE FREQUENCY AND AMOUNT OF WHICH ARE DETERMINED ACCORDING TO THE PLAN DOCUMENT). ON AN ANNUAL BASIS, THE FOUNDATION MAKES A PAYMENT TO THE ORGANIZATION RELATED TO THE PLAN. HOWEVER FOR THE YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2017 NO REIMBURSEMENT PAYMENT WAS MADE. THE FOUNDATION HOLDS A LONG TERM NOTE RECEIVABLE FROM THE ORGANIZATION. DURING THE CURRENT FISCAL YEAR, TOTAL REPAYMENTS OF INTEREST AND PRINCIPAL ON THE LOAN FROM THE ORGANIZATION TO THE FOUNDATION AMOUNTED TO $56,965. ON A PERIODIC BASIS, THE ORGANIZATION ADVANCES OPERATING FUNDS TO THE FOUNDATION.”
form 990, part IV, questions 14, 15 and 16
“The foundation has a relationship with an organization based in canada - the optimist international foundation of canada (canadian foundation). The canadian foundation is a separate legal entity, and has a separate board of directors. There are no common board members between the foundation and the canadian foundation. Several years ago, the foundation advanced funds to the canadian foundation to cover certain operating costs. This amount has been recorded on the foundation's financial statements as a receivable. No formal repayment agreement exists, however the canadian foundation has been making payments to the foundation on a periodic basis to reduce the amount of the advance. The canadian foundation paid off the balance by september 30, 2016.”
