Drawing on nearly 60 years of experience in Asia, the Foundation collaborates with private and public partners to support leadership and institutional development, exchanges, and policy research.

Books for Asia - The Books for Asia (BFA) program has distributed nearly 49 million books over the last 57 years, and it is one of The Asia Foundation's most widely known programs. In FY12, Books for Asia distributed over 1,800,000 books and educational material valued at over $47 million to schools, universities, public libraries, research institutions, advocacy groups, and government agencies in 19 Asian countries. Working with Asia Foundation field offices and local partners, BFA identifies local needs and priorities, and then distributes donated books where they can have the greatest impact. Every year, BFA receives nearly one million donated books and matches them up to the needs of over 7,500 institutions.
4b (Code:   ) (Expenses $ 66,574,094 including grants of $ 16,233,446 ) (Revenue $   )
Governance and Law - The goal of The Asia Foundation's Governance, Law, and Civil Society (GLC) programs is to support Asian initiatives that help to build more effective and responsive governance in areas that can accelerate sustainable economic and social development, expand liberty and justice, and reduce the incidence of violent sub-national conflict. In helping our Asian partners to strengthen governance reform, our overall goal is to achieve significant impact in helping to address some of the most critical governance challenges in the countries and sub-regions of Asia where the Foundation is among the very few organizations, or the only organization, that could achieve that impact.
4c (Code:   ) (Expenses $ 12,758,787 including grants of $ 7,226,165 ) (Revenue $   )
Women's Empowerment Program - In 1994, the Foundation launched a dedicated Women's Program to develop and expand country and regional initiatives that increase the rights and roles of women in all spheres. The goal of the Women's Empowerment Program (WEP) is to empower women individually and collectively to be full, equal, and active participants in their country's social, political, and economic development. The WEP program addresses a range of gender-related issues in virtually all the countries where the Foundation operates. The Program has three strategic and mutually reinforcing programming objectives: to ensure women's rights and security; to increase women's political participation; and to advance women's economic opportunities.

FIN 48 (ASC 740) FOOTNOTE Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 Income tax benefits are recognized for income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, only when it is determined that the income tax position will more-likely-than-not be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Foundation has analyzed tax positions taken for filing with the Internal Revenue Service and all state and foreign jurisdictions where it operates. The Foundation believes that ITS income tax filing positions will be sustained upon examination and does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material adverse effect on the Foundation's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Accordingly, the Foundation has not recorded any reserves, or related accruals for uncertain tax positions or for interest and penalties for uncertain income tax positions on adoption or as of September 30, 2012. The Foundation files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions. Pursuant to the statute of limitations in the Foundation's material tax jurisdictions, which is generally three years for federal income tax purposes and four years for California income and franchise tax purposes, the Foundation's open tax years are the tax years September 30, 2009 through September 30, 2012 for federal income tax purposes and tax years September 30, 2008 through September 30, 2012 for California income and franchise tax purposes. The Foundation currently does not have any examinations in progress. The Foundation does not anticipate that there will be any material changes in its unrecognized tax positions over the 12 months following September 30, 2012. The Foundation may from time to time be assessed interest or penalties by major tax jurisdictions, although any such assessments historically have been minimal and immaterial to its financial results. In the event the Foundation has such an assessment from a taxing authority, it is its accounting policy to recognize any interest and penalties as a component of income tax expense.

Governance, Management, and Disclosures Form 990, Part I, Line 5 and Part V, Line 2a The Asia Foundation had 238 employees on its US payroll (reported on the Core Form 990, Part I, Line 5). In addition, there were 771 local national employees at September 30, 2012 working in the foreign countries in which The Asia Foundation operates. Program Service Activities Form 990, Part III, Line 4 4D - Other exempt purpose achievements are related to economic reform, regional cooperation and environmental initiatives. Form 990, Part V, Line 4b The Asia Foundation is a global organization and has employees and offices around the world. In addition to the foreign countries listed in Attachment 6, The Asia Foundation also had financial accounts in the following countries: Mongolia, Nepal, Pacific Islands, Pakistan, Philippines, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Timor-Leste, Vietnam. Form 990, Part VI, line 2 Through a service agreement, The Asia Foundation administers payroll and other services to Give2Asia, a partner organization. Five of the thirty-three voting members of the board of trustees serving during the fiscal year (David Arnold, Gina Lin Chu, Susan Pharr, Missie Rennie, Paul Slawson) were trustees of Give2Asia during fiscal year ended September 30, 2012. Form 990, Part VI, Line 11 An external public accounting firm and The Asia Foundation staff work together to gather the required tax information necessary to complete the tax return. The tax firm prepares an initial draft return and reviews the initial draft return with senior management. After items are discussed and reviewed, recommended changes are reflected in the return and a draft tax return is prepared. The draft tax return is distributed to the Board of Directors for their review and comments prior to its being filed with the IRS. Form 990, Part VI, Line 12c The Asia Foundation requires each trustee, principal officer, and member of a committee with governing board delegated powers to annually sign a statement which affirms each person has received a copy of the Conflict of Interest policy, has read and understood the policy, has agreed to comply with the policy, and understands the Foundation is a non-profit organization and in order to maintain its federal tax exemption it must engage primarily in activities which accomplish one or more of its tax exempt purposes. Additionally, the statement requires the individuals to provide information with respect to related parties and to disclose whether there are any conflicts of interest. The Asia Foundation also requires periodic review of transactions and relationships to ensure that there are no conflicts of interest. The Foundation keeps records of the statements. Form 990, Part VI, Line 15a and 15b Compensation of the CEO and CFO is reviewed annually against current compensation benchmark data, and any and all changes are approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Trustees. Each December, or in the case of a new appointment, prior to an offer of employment, THE Chief Human Resources Officer, using benchmark salary survey data, prepares recommendations for the Board of Trustees Compensation Committee. The committee reviews the recommendations and makes a final determination. The Chairman of the Board of Trustees then notifies the CEO and CFO of any changes in compensation and the effective date. The CEO and CFO do not participate in the process. Compensation for employees at the Vice Presidential and Senior Management level fall within the guidelines of the annual Foundation compensation program. Each December, the Chief Human Resources Officer reviews salary survey data from a variety of sources. This data is used by the senior executive team to establish an annual merit and market based salary adjustment budget. The Chief Human Resources Officer then meets with each senior executive to determine an appropriate salary increase for each staff member. Once approved by the CEO, employee salary increases, if any, are effective on an annual basis from the date of the last increase. For most regular full-time employees, this occurs in January. Form 990, Part VI, Line 19 The Asia Foundation's audited financial statements are published on its website and are provided upon request. Governing documents and conflict of interest policy are available upon request. Form 990, Part VII and Schedule J, Part II Barnett Baron is a former officer of The Asia Foundation. He ceased service as an officer of The Asia Foundation in April, 2011 when he became an officer of Give2Asia, an unrelated organization recognized by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") as tax exempt pursuant to Internal Revenue Code section 501(c)(3). Under a service agreement, Give2Asia reimburses The Asia Foundation for compensation paid to employees of Give2Asia. The compensation reported on the Asia Foundation Form 990 for Barnett Baron, as required by the IRS, represents the compensation for services to Give2Asia and is not compensation for services to The Asia Foundation as no services are performed by Barnett Baron for The Asia Foundation. Form 990, Part XI, Line 5 Other changes in net assets or fund balances is comprised of the following: Unrealized GAIN on Investments 1,386,122 Grants Refunded 361,877 Unrealized Foreign Currency Loss (140,936) Contributions Refunded (546,027) Post-Retirement Benefit Adjustment (25,000) Prior Period Adjustment 16,396,830
