Financial Statement Notes

Pt V, Line 4

“The Foundation has three endowment funds. The board designated endowment fund supports the maintenance of a historical structure owned by the State of Michigan known as the Mann House. One permanent endowment fund supports a Foundation program known as The Learning Center. The other permanent endowment fund supports historical exhibits at the State of Michigan museum.”

Pt X, Line 2

“The accounting standard on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under that guidance, the Foundation may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. An example of a tax position includes the tax-exempt status of the Foundation. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. There were no unrecognized tax benefits identified or recorded as liabilities for the year ended December 31, 2016.”

Pt XI, Line 2D

“Increase in value of assets held in community foundations.”
