“The trustee invests, manages, and distributes endowment funds subject to the foundation's governing documents and the oregon uniform prudent management of institutional funds act (upmifa). The governing documents provide that up to 4% of the corpus of any one or more of the endowment funds in any one calendar year may be appropriated for distribution. The investment policy considers the needs and objectives of each fund and attempts to maximize total return consistent with an acceptable level of risk. Endowment assets are invested in a well-diversified asset mix that is intended to result in an inflation-protected rate of return that has sufficient liquidity to make an annual distribution of 4% while growing the fund if possible.”
“The salem foundation is a non-profit organization and is exempt from income taxes under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code. Management has analyzed tax positions taken on its 2011, 2012, and 2013 tax returns, and those expected to be taken on its 2014 tax return, and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.”
