Financial Statement Notes
Schedule D, Part V, Line 4 Intended uses of endowment funds
“The organization's investment and spending policies for endowment assets attempt to preserve the real (i.e. after-inflation) purchasing power of the endowment and to provide a relatively predictable, stable, and in real terms, constant stream of current income for annual award needs. The organization's board approves amounts awarded from the prize fund endowment on an annual basis, with the understanding that endowment spending should approximate 5% of the beginning of the year endowment value.”
Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 FIN 48 (ASC 740) footnote
“The Organization is exempt from federal and state income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code and corresponding state tax law. Accordingly, no provision has been made for federal or state income taxes. Additionally, the Organization has not been determined to be a private foundation under 509(a) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. However, the Organization may be subject to federal income tax on any unrelated business income. Current accounting standards require the Organization to disclose the amount of potential benefit or obligation to be realized as a result of an examination performed by a taxing authority. For the years ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, management has determined that the Organization does not have any tax positions that result in any uncertainties regarding the possible impact on the Organization's financial statements. The Organization does not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to significantly change in the next 12 months. The Organization recognizes interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. The Organization did not have any amounts accrued for interest and penalties at June 30, 2016 and 2015.”
