Explanation
Form 990, Part XI, Line 9. Other Changes in Net Assets
Discontinued Operations - United Way of Anchorage (UWA) has served as the host organization for Best Beginning. In prior years, it has been a semi-independent activity operating within the nonprofit umbrella of UWA and supported by the UWA infrastructure. Effective July 1, 2012, Best Beginnings separated from UWA and began operating as an independent, 501 (c)(3) designated organization. When Best Beginnings separated, $305,091 of cash was released. Furniture and office equipment with a book value of $6,706 (cost of $11,452 less accumulated depreciation of $4,746) was recorded as a loss on disposition. The release of these assets resulted in a decrease of $311,797 from discontinued operations.
