Governance Explanations

Form 990 governing body review Part VI line 11

“Each Board Member will receive a draft copy of the Form 990 for review prior to filing.”

Governing documents etc available to public Part VI line 19

“All governing documents and financial statements are available to the public upon individual request. Meetings of the governing body are often times open to the public to attend.”

Statement of Revenue Part VIII

“The Alaska Community Foundation (ACF) funds recognized a $788 Realized Gain for 2024. These funds are comingled for purposes of investing all of the funds at ACF. Approximately 2500 other funds are comingled and invested in a larger portfolio for efficiency and to maximize returns. The resulting gains/losses on the overall portfolio(whether realized or unrealized) are allocated back to each of the funds based upon their respective balances. Therefore, ACF is unable to provide specific original costs, sale proceeds, or other details that are specifically the property of an individual fund. The resulting $788 Realized Gain for 2024 is reported by adding $788 to Part V111, Line 7a(i) and $0 to Part V111, Line 7b(i).”

IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt1All governing documents and financial statements are available to the public upon individual request. Meetings of the governing body are often times open to the public to attend.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt2The Alaska Community Foundation (ACF) funds recognized a $788 Realized Gain for 2024. These funds are comingled for purposes of investing all of the funds at ACF. Approximately 2500 other funds are comingled and invested in a larger portfolio for efficiency and to maximize returns. The resulting gains/losses on the overall portfolio(whether realized or unrealized) are allocated back to each of the funds based upon their respective balances. Therefore, ACF is unable to provide specific original costs, sale proceeds, or other details that are specifically the property of an individual fund. The resulting $788 Realized Gain for 2024 is reported by adding $788 to Part V111, Line 7a(i) and $0 to Part V111, Line 7b(i).
