Complete Part I if the organization answered “Yes” to Form 990, Part IV, line 6.
Generally a donor advised fund is a fund or account:
1. That is separately identified by reference to contributions of a donor or donors; |
2. That is owned and controlled by a sponsoring organization; and |
3. For which the donor or donor advisor has or reasonably expects to have advisory privileges in the distribution or investment of amounts held in the donor advised funds or accounts because of the donor's status as a donor. |
A donor advised fund does not include any fund or account:
-
That makes distributions only to a single identified organization or governmental entity, or
-
In which a donor or donor advisor gives advice about which individuals receive grants for travel, study, or other similar purposes, if:
-
The donor or donor advisor's advisory privileges are performed exclusively by such person in his or her capacity as a member of a committee in which all of the committee members are appointed by the sponsoring organization;
-
No combination of donors or donor advisors (and related persons as defined below) directly or indirectly control the committee; and
-
All grants from the fund or account are awarded on an objective and nondiscriminatory basis following a procedure approved in advance by the board of directors of the sponsoring organization. The procedure must be designed to ensure that all grants meet the requirements of section 4945(g)(1), (2), or (3); or
-
-
That the Secretary exempts from being treated as a donor advised fund because either such fund or account is advised by a committee not directly or indirectly controlled by the donor or donor advisor or because such fund benefits a single identified charitable purpose. See Notice 2006-109, 2006-51 I.R.B. 1121.
In regards to donor advised funds, a related person is any family member (as defined in section 4958(f)) of the donor or donor advisor and any 35% controlled entity (as defined in section 4958(f)) of the donor or donor advisor.
Complete Part II if the organization answered “Yes” to Form 990, Part IV, line 7.
In addition to reporting on conservation easements, also report in Part II other interests in real property that under state law have attributes similar to an easement (for example, a restrictive covenant or equitable servitude).
A certified historic structure is any building or structure listed in the National Register of Historic Places as well as any building certified as being of historic significance to a registered historic district. See section 170(h)(4)(B) for special rules that apply to contributions made after August 17, 2006.
Enter the number of conservation easements held by the organization at the end of the tax year. This should not be an estimate or a rounded number.
Enter the total acreage restricted by conservation easements held by the organization at the end of the tax year. Compute the total acreage by adding together all the acres of land subject to all the easements held as of the end of the tax year. Do not include conservation easements on certified historic structures. Acreage may be expressed in decimal points for properties subject to easements where the acreage consists of less than whole numbers. For example, two and one-half acres may be expressed as 2.5 acres.
Enter the number of conservation easements on certified historic structures held by the organization at the end of the tax year.
Enter the number of conservation easements included in the answer to line 2c that the organization acquired after August 17, 2006.
Complete Part III if the organization answered “Yes” to Form 990, Part IV, line 8.
Organizations that receive contributions of works of art, historical treasures, and similar assets that do not maintain collections as described in SFAS 116 are not required to complete Part III.
For lines 1 and 2, refer to SFAS 116 for meanings of the various terms.
If an organization has elected not to capitalize its collections, then provide in Part XIV the footnote(s) to the organization's financial statements that describe these collection items.
If an organization has elected to capitalize its collections, then provide on line 1(b)(i) the revenues reported as to these collection items from the total revenues reported on Form 990, Part VIII, line 1; and, on line 1(b)(ii), provide the asset value assigned to these collection items from the total assets reported on Form 990, Part X.
Complete Part IV if the organization answered “Yes” to Form 990, Part IV, line 9, regarding escrow or custodial accounts or arrangements.
Organizations that maintain escrow or custodial accounts not reported on Form 990, Part X, must record increases or decreases in such accounts by completing lines 1c through 1f.
Example 1.
A credit counseling organization that collects amounts from debtors to remit to creditors may hold funds in an escrow or custodial account. If the organization acts as a go-between and does not report these funds as its assets or liabilities on Form 990, Part X, it must report the fund balances on lines 1c through 1f.
Example 2.
An organization providing down-payment assistance that collects amounts from donors to be used toward the purchase of qualifying housing may hold funds in an escrow or custodial account. If the organization acts as a go-between and does not report these funds as its assets or liabilities on Form 990, Part X, it must report the fund balances on lines 1c through 1f.
Complete Part V if the organization answered “Yes” to Form 990, Part IV, line 10. For Part V, the definitions of endowments and types of endowments are governed by SFAS 117, paragraphs 14 through 17. Information reported in Part V should pertain to the aggregate of the organization's endowments.
Term endowments are endowment funds that are maintained to provide a source of income for either a specified period of time or until a specific event occurs.
Permanent (true) endowments are endowment funds maintained to provide a permanent source of income, with the stipulation that principal must be invested and kept intact in perpetuity, while only the income generated can be used by the organization.
Board designated or quasi-endowments are funds functioning as an endowment that are established by the organization itself, either from donor or institutional funds, and that must retain the purpose and intent as specified by the donor or source of the original funds.
Enter the beginning of the year balance of the organization's endowment funds. The amount entered should agree with the organization's total permanent (true), term, and quasi-endowment funds at the beginning of the year.
Enter the amount of current year contributions to the organization's endowment funds. This amount includes all donor gifts, grants, and contributions received, as well as additional funds established by the organization's governing board to function like an endowment, but that may be expended at any time at the discretion of the board.
Enter the current year net amount of investment earnings, gains, and losses, including both realized or unrealized amounts. For earnings reported net of transaction costs, enter the net amount on line 1c. For earnings reported on a gross basis, enter the transaction costs on line 1f.
Enter the current year amounts distributed for grants or scholarships.
Because scholarships represent direct aid to individuals, they are distinguished from general programmatic aid referenced in line 1e.
Enter the current year amounts distributed for facilities and programs. Amounts on this line should include withdrawn amounts, and amounts disinvested from an organization's quasi-endowments.
Enter the current year administrative expenses charged to the endowment fund. These expenses can arise from either internal or third party sources.
Enter the year-end balance of the endowments. To determine the year-end balance, add lines 1a, 1b, and investment earnings on line 1c, and subtract line 1c investment losses and the amounts on lines 1d through 1f.
Effective for reporting years ending after December 15, 2008, FSP FAS 117-1 addresses reporting of endowments as permanently restricted or temporarily restricted funds. Further, a number of states have enacted or are considering enacting the Uniform Prudent Management of Institutional Funds Act (UPMIFA). If the organization is subject to UPMIFA or FSP FAS 117-1, it may affect the amounts reported on lines 2a through 2c.
Enter “Yes” if any of the organization's endowment funds are in the possession of and administered by unrelated organizations.
Enter “Yes” if any of the organization's endowment funds are in the possession of and administered by related organizations.
All related organizations are required to be reported on Schedule R. Enter “Yes” on line 3b if the organization answered “Yes” to line 3a(ii) and the organization listed all related organizations referred to on line 3a(ii) in Schedule R (Form 990).
Complete Part VI if the organization answered “Yes” on Form 990, Part IV, line 11, and reported an amount on Form 990, Part X, lines 10a, 10b, or 10c, column (B). Reporting is required if any amount other than zero is reported on those lines.
Complete Part VII if the organization answered “Yes” on Form 990, Part IV, line 11, and reported an amount in Form 990, Part X, line 12, that is 5% or more of the total assets reported on Form 990, Part X, line 16.
This includes stock in a closely held company whose stock is not available for sale to the general public or that is not widely traded. Other securities also include publicly-traded stock for which the organization holds 5% or more of the outstanding shares of the same class. List each separate class of publicly traded stock held by the organization that meets the 5% ownership test. Do not include program-related investments.
Complete Part VIII if the organization answered “Yes” on Form 990, Part IV, line 11, and reported an amount on Form 990, Part X, line 13, that is 5% or more of the total assets reported on Form 990, Part X, line 16.
Program-related investments are investments made primarily to accomplish the organization's exempt purposes rather than to produce income. Examples of program-related investments include student loans and notes receivable from other exempt organizations that obtained the funds to pursue the filing organization's exempt function.
Complete Part IX if the organization answered “Yes” on Form 990, Part IV, line 11, and reported an amount on Form 990, Part X, line 15, that is 5% or more of the total assets reported on Form 990, Part X, line 16.
