Explanation
FORM 990, PART I, LINE 1 AND PART III, LINE 1
THE ATLANTA WOMENS FOUNDATION (AWF) IS DEDICATED TO BREAKING THE GENERATIONAL CYCLE OF POVERTY FOR WOMEN AND GIRLS. AWF RAISES FUNDS FROM CORPORATIONS, FOUNDATIONS, AND INDIVIDUALS IN ORDER TO MAKE GRANTS IN THE FIVE-COUNTY ATLANTA AREA (COBB, CLAYTON, DEKALB, FULTON, GWINNETT) TO ORGANIZATIONS THAT: 1) REDUCE THE GENERATIONAL CYCLE OF POVERTY BY REDUCING AT-RISK BEHAVIORS, 2) PROMOTE SELF-SUFFICIENCY FOR WOMEN AND GIRLS BY INCREASING THEIR ACCESS TO SERVICES AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR ADVANCEMENT, 3) INCREASE THEIR ABILITY TO BE ECONOMICALLY SECURE AND SELF-RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR FUTURE AND POSITIVELY CONTRIBUTE TO THE OVERAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND WELL BEING OF OUR COMMUNITIES. FUNDED PROGRAMS ARE CAREFULLY SELECTED FOR THEIR SUSTAINABLE AND MEASURABLE IMPACT ON BREAKING THE GENERATIONAL CYCLE OF POVERTY IN HEALTHCARE, JOB SKILLS, DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, EDUCATION, TEEN PREGNANCY, HOMELESSNESS AND AFORDABLE HOUSING, AFFORDABLE CHILD CARE, FINANCIAL LITERACY AND ASSET DEVELOPMENT. FORM 990, SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION DURING THE FISCAL YEAR 2013-14, THE FOUNDATIONS EXPENSES EXCEEDED REVENUE BY $80,415 WHICH INCLUDED EXPENSES ASSOCIATED WITH THE CORE PURPOSE OF THE FOUNDATION-GRANTMAKING. SINCE ITS INCEPTION IN 1998, THE FOUNDATIONS REVENUES HAVE EXCEEDED EXPENSES IN TOTAL BY $2,677,716. AS A FOUNDATION, WHOSE REVENUES ARE DERIVED FROM INDIVIDUAL AND CORPORATE DONORS, MONIES ARE OFTEN RESTRICTED BY DONOR INTENT AND THE NET LOSS/GAIN OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ARE AFFECTED BY THE TIMING OF REVENUES BEING RELEASED TO SUPPORT GRANT CYCLES. THE TIMING OF RECOGNIZING AND EXPENDING REVENUES WILL SOMETIMES REFFLECT A NET LOSS, HOWEVER THE NET LOSS IS ACTUALLY DUE TO TEMPORARILY RESTRICTED FUNDS BEING RELEASED RATHER THAN BEING A TRUE LOSS. CURRENTLY THE FOUNDATION HAS A HEALTHY RESERVE AND INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO, WHICH REFLECTS POSITIVELY ON THE BALANCE SHEET. IN MID 2000, THE BOARD DESIGNATED $1 MILLION TO ASSURE THAT THE FOUNDATION WOULD HAVE A HEALTHY RESERVE TO SUPPORT BOTH STAFF CAPACITY AND GRANT MAKING SHOULD WE EXPERIENCE AN ECONOMIC DOWNTURN. IN 2008, AT THE START OF THE ECONONMIC DOWNTURN, THE BOARD VOTED TO RELEASE THOSE FUNDS TO BE USED FOR THEIR ORIGINAL PURPOSE. THESE FUNDS HAVE BEEN USED MODERATELY TO SUPPORT THE FOUNDATION IN STRENGTHENING ITS OPERATION WITHOUT DIMINISHING ITS OVERALL INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO. THE POSITIVE RESULT OF THAT DECISION IS THAT THE FOUNDATION CONTINUES TO SEE THE FAVORABLE RESULTS OF STRINGENT EXPENSE CONTROLS AND CONCENTRATED FUNDRAISING. WE ANTICIPATE THAT WITH THE CONTINUATION OF IMPROVEMENTS IN THE ECONOMY AND THE CURRENT EFFORTS TOWARD INCREASED FUNDRAISING THE FOUNDATION WILL ENHANCE ITS IMPACT ON BREAKING THE GENERATIONAL CYCLE OF POVERTY FOR WOMEN AND GIRLS.
