“While formal minutes of management committee meetings are not recorded, actions taken by the management committee are subsequently presented in writing to the board of directors for ratification.”
“The form 990 is first reviewed in detail by the organization's president and treasurer prior to filing. Then a copy of the 2013 return is made available to each member of the organization's current governing body. The directors are given an opportunity to review, discuss, and ask questions before the return is filed with the irs.”
“The organization's conflict of interest policy requires employees and directors, on an ongoing basis, to immediately report any conflict or potential conflict. When an employee or director reasonably believes that a conflict of interest may exist or appear to exist, the employee or director must promptly and fully disclose the conflict, refrain from participation in the matter until the question is resolved, and follow any directions given by the organization concerning the matter.”
“The organization makes its governing documents available to the public to the extent required by law.”
“Consulting fees & expenses: program service expenses 1,403,924. Management and general expenses 1,525. Fundraising expenses 0. Total expenses 1,405,449.”
“Temporarily restricted net asset is made up of a series of pledges made by association of american railroads.”
“The foundation is a tax-exempt organization under section 501(c)(3) of the irc. However, income from certain activities not directly related to the foundation's tax-exempt purpose is subject to taxation as unrelated business income. There was no unrelated business income for the years ended december 31, 2013 or 2012. The foundation follows the codification topic, income taxes, which 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 this 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. 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. The guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes also addresses de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, and accounting in interim periods. Management evaluated the foundation's tax positions and concluded that the foundation has taken no uncertain tax positions that require adjustment to the financial statements to comply with the provisions of this guidance. Generally, the foundation is no longer subject to income tax examinations by the u.s. Federal, state or local tax authorities for years before 2010.”

| IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 0 | TEMPORARILY RESTRICTED NET ASSET IS MADE UP OF A SERIES OF PLEDGES MADE BY ASSOCIATION OF AMERICAN RAILROADS. |
| IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 1 | THE FOUNDATION IS A TAX-EXEMPT ORGANIZATION UNDER SECTION 501(C)(3) OF THE IRC. HOWEVER, INCOME FROM CERTAIN ACTIVITIES NOT DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE FOUNDATION'S TAX-EXEMPT PURPOSE IS SUBJECT TO TAXATION AS UNRELATED BUSINESS INCOME. THERE WAS NO UNRELATED BUSINESS INCOME FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2013 OR 2012. THE FOUNDATION FOLLOWS THE CODIFICATION TOPIC, INCOME TAXES, WHICH 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 THIS 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. 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. THE GUIDANCE ON ACCOUNTING FOR UNCERTAINTY IN INCOME TAXES ALSO ADDRESSES DE-RECOGNITION, CLASSIFICATION, INTEREST AND PENALTIES ON INCOME TAXES, AND ACCOUNTING IN INTERIM PERIODS. MANAGEMENT EVALUATED THE FOUNDATION'S TAX POSITIONS AND CONCLUDED THAT THE FOUNDATION HAS TAKEN NO UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS THAT REQUIRE ADJUSTMENT TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS TO COMPLY WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THIS GUIDANCE. GENERALLY, THE FOUNDATION IS NO LONGER SUBJECT TO INCOME TAX EXAMINATIONS BY THE U.S. FEDERAL, STATE OR LOCAL TAX AUTHORITIES FOR YEARS BEFORE 2010. |
