“The Foundation is exempt from federal income tax under the provisions of Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC"). In accordance with IRC regulations, the Foundation is taxed on unrelated business income, which consists of earnings from activities not related to the exempt purpose of the Foundation. The Foundation accounts for tax uncertainties based on a more likely than not recognition threshold whereby tax benefits are only recognized when the Foundation believes that they have a greater than 50% likelihood of being sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Foundation has evaluated all of its tax positions and determined that it had no uncertain income tax positions as of December 31, 2015 or 2014. Management believes that the Foundation continues to satisfy the requirements of a tax exempt organization and is not subject to tax. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been reflected in the accompanying financial statements.”

| IRS990ScheduleA/Form990ScheduleAPartVIGrp/ExplanationTxt | 0 | THE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION OF GASTON COUNTY ("CFGC") DIRECTOR ON THE ORGANIZATION'S GOVERNING BOARD IS APPOINTED DIRECTLY BY THE SUPPORTED ORGANIZATION AND, BY REQUIREMENT OF THE BYLAWS, IS A MEMBER OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD. THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE IS AUTHORIZED AND DIRECTED TO HANDLE MANAGEMENT OF THE ORGANIZATION'S BUSINESS AND AFFAIRS BETWEEN FORMAL BOARD MEETINGS, MEANING THAT THE CFGC DIRECTOR IS INTIMATELY INVOLVED IN THE DAILY ADMINISTRATION OF THE ORGANIZATION AND, AS A RESULT, HAS A SIGNIFICANT VOICE IN ITS INVESTMENT POLICIES AND IN DIRECTING THE USE OF THE ORGANIZATION'S INCOME OR ASSETS. SIMILARLY, THE SUPPORTED ORGANIZATION, THE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION OF GASTON COUNTY ("CFGC"), ACTIVELY OVERSEES THE MANAGEMENT OF THE ORGANIZATION'S INVESTMENTS OTHER THAN A LARGE SINGLE HOLDING IN A PUBLIC COMPANY, WHICH REQUIRES NO SEPARATE INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT. AS A RESULT, CFGC IS ALSO ACTIVELY INVOLVED IN DISCUSSIONS AND DISTRIBUTIONS OF THE ORGANIZATION'S ASSETS THAT BENEFIT THE COMMUNITY THAT IS SERVED BY CFGC, CONSISTENT WITH THE ORGANIZATION'S ARTICLES AND BYLAWS. AS A RESULT, CFGC HAS A SIGNIFICANT VOICE IN THE ORGANIZATION'S INVESTMENTS AND USE OF ITS INCOME AND ASSETS. |
| IRS990ScheduleA/Form990ScheduleAPartVIGrp/ExplanationTxt | 1 | THE ORGANIZATION HELD STOCK IN A COMPANY THAT IS INDEPENDENTLY VALUED EACH YEAR BY A QUALIFIED APPRAISER. THE ORGANIZATION HELD A SUFFICIENT NUMBER OF SHARES OF THE COMPANY'S STOCK THAT THE SAME APPRAISER HAS ALSO NOW ISSUED A SEPARATE APPRAISAL REPORT FOR THE ORGANIZATION, OPINING THAT A 14% BLOCKAGE DISCOUNT SHOULD APPLY TO ITS HOLDINGS IN THE COMPANY. THE ORGANIZATION RECOGNIZES THAT SECTION 4942(E) APPROVES THIS TYPE OF VALUE REDUCTION IN GENERAL BUT ALSO LIMITS THE SAME TO 10% FOR CERTAIN PURPOSES, AND THE ORGANIZATION HAS THEREFORE LIMITED THE BLOCKAGE DISCOUNT REFLECTED IN ITS 2014 990 TO 10%. THERE WAS NO BLOCKAGE DISCOUNT APPLIED IN 2015 SINCE THE STOCK WAS SOLD. |
| IRS990ScheduleA/Form990ScheduleAPartVIGrp/ExplanationTxt | 2 | The Community Foundation of Gaston County ("CFGC") is the supported organization and is attentive to the operations of the organization due to the fact that the supporting organization provides well in excess of 10% of CFGC's annual support through distributions to or for the use of CFGC. In addition, the organization and CFGC have a long relationship, not only as supporting/supported organizations with a legal relationship, but also as two of the largest (if not the actual two largest) charitable organizations located in Gaston County, NC, that, by default, work hand in hand to support the community, which is the primary purpose of both organizations. As noted elsewhere in this Form 990, CFGC directly appoints one of the organization's directors who must also serve on the Executive Committee, and CFGC also directly oversees the management and distribution of the organization's annual distributions, ensuring that CFGC is attentive to the operations and investments of the organization. The organization is responsive to CFGC in light of CFGC's appointment of one of the organization's directors (which is required to be on the Executive Committee overseeing daily operations of the organization), strengthened by the fact that such director must also be a director of CFGC itself. Furthermore, CFGC has a significant voice in the investments and use of the organization's income and assets as described further above in Schedule A, Part IV, Section D, Line 3. |

| IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 0 | The Foundation is exempt from federal income tax under the provisions of Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC"). In accordance with IRC regulations, the Foundation is taxed on unrelated business income, which consists of earnings from activities not related to the exempt purpose of the Foundation. The Foundation accounts for tax uncertainties based on a more likely than not recognition threshold whereby tax benefits are only recognized when the Foundation believes that they have a greater than 50% likelihood of being sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Foundation has evaluated all of its tax positions and determined that it had no uncertain income tax positions as of December 31, 2015 or 2014. Management believes that the Foundation continues to satisfy the requirements of a tax exempt organization and is not subject to tax. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been reflected in the accompanying financial statements. |
