Financial Statement Notes

Schedule D, Part V, Line 4 Intended uses of endowment funds

“Permanently restricted net assets as of June 30, 2017 are restricted to investment in perpetuity, the income from which is expendable to support the general activities of guide dogs.”

Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 FIN 48 (ASC 740) footnote

“GDB is a nonprofit corporation exempt from federal income taxes under Internal Revenue Code section 501(c)(3) and from State of California income taxes. Therefore, these financial statements contain no provision for such taxes. Informational returns are filed annually with federal and state taxing authorities. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America prescribes recognition thresholds and measurement attributes for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Tax benefits will be recognized only if a tax position is more-likely-than-not sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized will be the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the more-likely-than-not test, no tax benefit will be recorded. Management has concluded that they are unaware of any tax benefits or liabilities to be recognized at June 30, 2017 or 2016. GDB would recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest and income tax expense, respectively. GDB has no amounts accrued for interest or penalties for the year ended June 30, 2017 or 2016. GDB does not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to significantly change in the next 12 months.”

IRS990/Desc0Student Selection through Graduation - Once the dogs are returned to the school, they spend 12 weeks in formal guide work training with professional licensed instructors. At the conclusion of this training, the dogs are matched with their blind or visually impaired partners for two weeks of training on either the San Rafael, CA or Boring, OR campus. In addition, GDB also offers in-home training to about 10% of those applicants who are unable to travel to the GDB facilities for formal training. Graduation ceremonies mark the completion of training, and puppy raisers officially present the guide dogs they have raised to their new partners.
