DESCRIPTION OF INTENDED USE OF ENDOWMENT FUNDS: PART V, LINE 4: THE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION FOR GREATER BUFFALO, INC. IS A COLLECTION OF ALMOST 800 FUNDS, WHICH INCLUDES APPROXIMATELY 550 ENDOWMENT FUNDS. THESE FUNDS HAVE BEEN ESTABLISHED BY INDIVIDUALS, FAMILIES, BUSINESSES AND NON-PROFIT AGENCIES. MANY ARE CREATED IN A WILL OR THROUGH A PLANNED GIFT. CONTRIBUTIONS TO THESE ENDOWMENT FUNDS, INCLUDING THOSE WITH DONOR IMPOSED RESTRICTIONS, ARE SUBJECT TO THE VARIANCE POWER ESTABLISHED BY THE FOUNDATION'S GOVERNING DOCUMENTS. THIS VARIANCE POWER ALLOWS THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS TO MODIFY DONOR INSTRUCTIONS THAT ARE INCAPABLE OF FULFILLMENT. AS A RESULT OF THE VARIANCE POWER, THE ENDOWMENT FUNDS ARE CLASSIFIED AS UNRESTRICTED NET ASSETS FOR FINANCIAL STATEMENT PURPOSES. ALTHOUGH THE FOUNDATION HAS VARIANCE POWER, THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS CONSISTENTLY FOLLOWS THE PRACTICE OF RESPECTING THE DONOR'S INTENT REGARDING GRANTMAKING PREFERENCES, AS STATED IN THEIR WILLS OR FUND AGREEMENTS. GRANTS ARE AWARDED FROM THESE ENDOWMENT FUNDS TO SUPPORT MANY CHARITABLE CAUSES, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE DONOR'S INTERESTS. IF THE DONOR DIRECTS THEIR GRANTMAKING TO SUPPORT CHANGING NEEDS OVER TIME, THEN THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS DETERMINES THE GRANTEE. THE FOUNDATION GOES BEYOND SIMPLY MAKING GRANTS THAT ADVANCE CHARITABLE ACTIVITIES BY IDENTIFYING AND FUNDING CURRENT AND EMERGING ISSUES IN WESTERN NEW YORK.

PROCEDURE FOR MONITORING GRANTS OUTSIDE THE U.S.:   SCHEDULE F, PART I, LINE 2: IN 2010, THE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION MADE TWO GRANTS TO CANADIAN CHARITIES. THE U.S. TAX TREATY WITH CANADA PROVIDES AUTOMATIC RECIPROCAL RECOGNITION OF THE CHARITABLE STATUS OF CANADIAN ORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE RECOGNIZED AS CHARITABLE ENTITIES IN CANADA, SO BEFORE MAKING A GRANT, CFGB DETERMINES THAT THE GRANTEE IS OFFICIALLY RECOGNIZED AS A CHARITY IN CANADA. CFGB ALSO REVIEWS THE MISSION OF THE GRANTEE TO ASSESS ITS CHARITABLE PURPOSE, AS WELL AS THE PURPOSE OF THE GRANT. ALL OF THIS DUE DILIGENCE IS COMPLETED BEFORE THE GRANT IS MADE.
