Identifier Return Reference Explanation
Part II-B, Line 1i Part II-B, Line 1i - Other Activities Description The organization's medical school subsidiary organization has a Government Relations office which makes contacts; working in coordination with that government relations office, the filing organization's employees will sometimes make direct contact with legislators, their staffs, government officials, or a legislative body. The Government Relations office was actively involved with several federal and state issues during the year, including developing political advocacy strategies regarding investment tax credits, and regarding many of the FY 2014 appropriations bills, proposed legislation and regulations that were introduced, e.g. IRS property-tax exemptions for nonprofits guidelines and community benefits analysis, patents and intellectual property issues. At the state level, efforts included legislation regarding business incentive tax laws, including the mill tax credit for the Wake Forest Innovation Quarter research park in downtown Winston-Salem, and transparency and reformation of the tax code including sales tax refund protection provisions.Because of the preponderance of current Health Care legislation, the Government Relations Office of the filing organization's subsidiary spent less time during the tax year on purely educational issues of greatest relevance to the filing organization.
