Supplemental Narrative
Additional Explanations
FORM 990, PART XI, LINE 9:
“GRANT REFUNDS 19,290.”
FORM 990, PART XII, LINE 2C, FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTING:
“The audit committee of the pittsburgh foundation, as part of its shared services arrangement with the charles e. Kaufman foundation, assumes responsibility for the oversight of the audit of the financial statements of the charles e. Kaufman foundation as well as the selection of an independent auditor. This process has not changed from the prior year.”
Financial Statement Notes
PART X, LINE 2:
“The foundation adopted financial accounting standards board (fasb) guidance for accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, which provides criteria for the recognition and measurement of uncertain tax positions. This guidance requires that an uncertain tax position should be recognized only if it is "more likely than not" that the position is not sustainable based on its technical merits. Recognizable tax positions should then be measured to determine the amount of benefit or liability recognized in the consolidated financial statements. The foundation files u.s. Federal and state information returns, and no returns are currently under examination. The statute of limitations on the foundation's federal tax returns remains open for the years ended december 31, 2016 through the present. The foundation continues to evaluate its tax positions pursuant to the principles of fasb guidance and has determined that there is no material impact on the foundation's consolidated financial statements.”
PART XII, LINE 4B - OTHER ADJUSTMENTS:
“Refunds of prior year grants 19,290.”
