Identifier	Return Reference	Explanation
Form 990, Schedule D, Part V, Question 4	Intended Use of Endowment Funds	The board designated endowment funds are unrestricted funds set aside by United Way of Lake County, Inc.'s ("UWLC") Board of Directors for specific purposes or projects. The permanent fund is known as the United Way of Lake County Forever Fund ("the Fund"). The purpose of the Fund is to raise and secure gifts, grants, bequests and devises apart from the annual UWLC campaign. Investment income from the Fund will be distributed at the direction of the Board of Directors of UWLC in a manner deemed prudent to serve a broad range of community needs including, but not limited to, health and human services, capital, educational and cultural programs for those persons then present in, or living in, the Lake County, Illinois community.
Form 990, Schedule D, Part X, Question 2	Uncertain Tax Positions (FIN 48)	United Way of Lake County, Inc. has received favorable determination letters from the Internal Revenue Service, stating that they are exempt from Federal income taxes under the provisions of 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (IRC), except for income taxes pertaining to unrelated business income. Accounting guidance requires tax effects from uncertain tax positions to be recognized in the financial statements only if the position is more likely than not to be sustained if the position were to be challenged by a taxing authority. Management has determined there are no material uncertain positions that require recognition in the financial statements. Additionally, no provision for income taxes is reflected in these financial statements. There is no interest or penalties recognized in the statement of activities or statement of position. The tax years ending 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011 are still open to audit for both Federal and state purposes.

Schedule I	Part I, Line 2	Procedures for Monitoring the Use of Grant Funds The agencies listed in Schedule I include United Way funded agencies and agencies receiving donor designations. For purposes of completing Schedule I, if an agency received United WAy of Lake County, Inc. grant funds and donor designations, the amount of cash grant is the total of these two funding sources. Each agency receiving direct United Way funding is required to submit semi-annual and annual reports to United Way of Lake County, Inc. ("UWLC"). The reports include information about budget, demographics regarding the community served and performance (outcome) updates. These reports are reviewed by the staff of UWLC and follow up is performed, if necessary. In addition, UWLC maintains contact with the agencies throughout the year as the agencies' funded programs are executed. For agencies receiving funds as a result of donors designating to those agencies, UWLC does not monitor these agencies (unless they are United Way funded agencies). However, these designated agencies are checked to verify their 501(c)(3) status.

ANNUALLY, THE BOARD CHAIRMAN CONDUCTS A PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF THE PRESIDENT & CEO AND REVIEWS THE EVALUATION WITH THE PAST BOARD CHAIRMAN AND EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. ANY SALARY ADJUSTMENT FOR THE PRESIDENT & CEO IS COMMUNICATED TO THE DIRECTOR OF HUMAN RESOURCES BY THE PRESENT BOARD CHAIRMAN. THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE AND BOARD OF DIRECTORS REVIEW AND APPROVE ALL COMPENSATION ADJUSTMENTS FOR ALL OFFICERS, KEY EMPLOYEES AND OTHER EMPLOYEES. COMPENSATION ADJUSTMENTS (EXCLUDING ANY ADJUSTMENT FOR THE PRESIDENT & CEO) ARE RECOMMENDED TO THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE AND BOARD OF DIRECTORS BY THE PRESIDENT & CEO. THE PRESIDENT & CEO REVIEWS AND APPROVES/DISAPPROVES EXCEPTIONS TO UWLC'S COMPENSATION POLICY AND ADMINISTRATION GUIDELINES AS RECOMMENDED BY THE DEPARTMENTAL VICE PRESIDENTS AND SUPERVISORS.

MINUTES ARE PREPARED DOCUMENTING THE DELIBERATION AND DECISION MAKING REGARDING COMPENSATION ADJUSTMENTS FOR ALL OFFICERS, KEY EMPLOYEES AND OTHER EMPLOYEES. UWLC USES A MARKET PRICING / JOB SLOTTING SYSTEM AS THE BEST FIT FOR ITS TOTAL COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY. USING JOB DESCRIPTIONS AS A BASE, "BENCHMARK JOBS" (JOBS COMMON TO SIMILAR ORGANIZATIONS TYPICALLY SURVEYED) WERE IDENTIFIED. APPROXIMATELY 25 JOBS WERE SELECTED AS BENCHMARK JOBS. THESE JOBS WERE COMPETITIVELY PRICED TO THE LABOR MARKET. ALL NON-BENCHMARK JOBS WERE COMPARED AND RANKED AS TO JOB RESPONSIBILITIES IN COMPARISON TO THE BENCHMARK JOBS TO DETERMINE APPROPRIATE SALARY RANGE PLACEMENT. UWLC USES APPROPRIATE PUBLISHED SALARY SURVEYS TO RESEARCH COMPETITIVE MARKET DATA AND ESTABLISH EXTERNAL EQUITY. SURVEYS USED INCLUDE (NOT INCLUSIVE): ASSOCIATION FORUM OF CHICAGOLAND -- COMPENSATION & BENEFITS SURVEY FOR NOT-FOR-PROFITS; ABBOTT, LANGER ASSOCIATION SURVEYS - NOT-FOR-PROFITS; SULLIVAN & COTTER - CHICAGO BENCHMARK COMPENSATION STUDY; WATSON WYATT - OFFICE PERSONNEL REPORT AND UNITED WAY WORLDWIDE - SALARY SURVEY. USING EXTERNAL COMPETITIVE SALARY DATA AND INTERNAL JOB RANKINGS, A SALARY STRUCTURE WAS CREATED. BENCHMARK JOBS WERE PLACED IN SALARY RANGES BASED ON COMPETITIVE MARKET DATA AND NON-BENCHMARK JOBS WERE PLACED BASED ON A COMPARISON OF INTERNAL JOBS AND JOB FAMILIES. SALARY RANGES ARE REVIEWED AND REVISED WHEN THE NEED IS INDICATED BY CHANGES IN COMPETITIVE PAY TARGETS FOR THE LABOR MARKET AS ESTABLISHED BY SURVEY DATA. SALARY RANGES ARE REVIEWED A MINIMUM OF EVERY THREE YEARS BY THE FINANCE COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS. COMPENSATION SURVEYS ARE CONDUCTED PERIODICALLY FOR EXISTING AND NEWLY-CREATED POSITIONS TO CONFIRM THAT UWLC'S SALARY RANGES ARE COMPETITIVE.
