Return Reference Explanation
Schedule D, Part V, Line 4 The Community Foundation's quasi-endowment funds are invested and managed to support grantmaking to nonprofit organizations; to fund special initiatives such as periodic research to expand its understanding of local issues and to support its educational outreach work to promote philanthropy in central NJ.
SCHEDULE D, PART X, Line 2 The Community Foundation is exempt from Federal income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly the financial statements do not reflect a provision for Federal income taxes. The Community Foundation follows the pronouncement related to accounting for uncertainty in income taxes and there were no uncertain tax positions at December 31, 2015 and 2014. In addition, no income tax related penalties or interest have been recorded for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014.
Schedule D, Part XI, Line 4B Net contributions and grants from Non-Profit Organization Funds and investment expenses. The Community Foundation follows the accounting guidance for Non-Profit Organization Funds which are subject to variance power. These funds are shown as custodial funds on the financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, but have been included in changes in net assets for the preparation of the Form 990 as detailed in the authoritative literature. The overall net adjustment for these funds is $4,294,724 on line 4b including contributions and allocable share of investment earnings. Additionally, the change in value of split interest agreements of $(13,938) and the cost of the fundraising event of $12,942 have been shown as reconciling items in the Form 990 on part XI line 4b.
Schedule D, Part XIII, Line 4B Grants from Non-Profit Organization Funds. The Community Foundation follows the accounting guidance for Non-Profit Organization Funds which are subject to variance power. These funds are shown as custodial funds on the financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, but have been included in changes in net assets for the preparation of the Form 990 as detailed in the authoritative literature. Accordingly, grants and expenses of $916,129 are included in Part IX and are shown in the reconciliation of expenses on line 4b. Additionally, expenses related to a fundraising event of $12,942 were included in the financial statement but have been netted in the Form 990 as per the instructions.
Schedule D, Part IV, Line 2B The Community Foundation is a fiscal agent for funds that are under the direction of outside parties. The Community Foundation receives a fee for the processing of the payments under these grants funds.

Return Reference Explanation
Monitoring of grants The Community Foundation requires grantees of competitively awarded grants to submit full written reports detailing programmatic achievements and financial updates six months and twelve months after the award is made. All grantees sign a contract which outlines all requirements before their grant check is delivered. Grants from donor-advised and designated funds are awarded after a thorough review of their IRS 990 tax returns, and in many cases, a review of their audited financial statements. Staff also review web sites, annual reports and newsletters to confirm the tax-exempt status and efficacy of each organization. The Community Foundation also visits many local grantees each year for face-to-face meetings and first-hand experience of funded programs. As a local grantmaker, the Community Foundation also has access to many informal sources of information from the local newspapers to professional staff and board relationships with many organizations.

Return Reference Explanation
FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION A, LINE 1A The Community Foundation's Executive Committee is made up of the officers of the Foundation, members of various standing committees of the Board, and other APPOINTED trustees who serve at the Chair's invitation and legal counsel who is not a trustee. The president & CEO serves as an ex officio member. The Executive Committee is authorized to act on behalf of the Board between meetings. Its actions are recorded in the Minutes of the Committee, and promptly reported to the full Board.
FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 11B The Community Foundation's Form 990 is prepared by an independent CPA firm and reviewed by the Chief Financial Officer and the President & CEO who suggest necessary revisions. The Form 990, with names redacted from Schedule B to honor the wishes of anonymous donors, is subsequently distributed to the Foundation's Audit Committee for further review and approval. It is then distributed to all trustees prior to being filed with the IRS.
FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 12C The Community Foundation has a written conflict of interest policy which has been approved by the Board and requires all employees, officers, trustees and volunteers to complete and sign a conflict of interest disclosure form annually. All completed forms are reviewed by the President & CEO for accuracy and reasonableness. The President & CEO retains a summary of findings. All employees, officers, trustees and volunteers are required to disclose any additional conflicts which arise during the year and a written record of any such changes are added to the active file. Identified conflicts are noted at all meetings of the Board and its committees as well as in the Minutes. Any officer, trustee, staff member, or volunteer with a conflict leaves the room for the duration of the relevant discussion and recuses him/herself from any vote in which they have a conflict of interest; in accordance with the conflict of interest policy.
FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 15A-B The Community Foundation has a Board-approved Compensation Policy which guides its decisions. The Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees, which is comprised of independent Board members who do not have a conflict of interest, acts as a Personnel and Compensation Committee and sets annual compensation for the President & CEO. The Executive Committee performs an annual review of the President & CEO'S performance against objectives and metrics agreed to at the beginning of the fiscal year and solicits feedback from all trustees. AS PART OF THE BUDGET PROCESS, THE FINANCE COMMITTEE SUGGESTS AN INCREASE RANGE DURING THE BUDGET PROCESS. The President & CEO THEN reviews the performance of all other staff and recommends SALARY INCREASES for the next year to the Executive Committee as part of the budget process. Committee minutes document the actions of the Executive Committee in all personnel and compensation matters; and the Committee's decisions are reported to the full Board. In setting compensation, the Executive Committee annually reviews comparability data, SUCH AS FROM THE COUNCIL ON FOUNDATIONS AND/OR THE COUNCIL OF NEW JERSEY GRANTMAKERS. SEVERAL FACTORS ARE CONSIDERED SUCH AS COMMUNITY FOUNDATIONS OF SIMILAR SIZE AND COMpenSATION FOR SIMILAR POSIITONS IN THE LOCAL CENTRAL NEW JERSEY MARKETPLACE. the Form 990's of other nonprofit organizations and Form 990-PF for private foundations are also consulted for information.
FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION C, LINE 19 The Community Foundation makes its conflict of interest policy, audited financial statements, and IRS Form 990 available to the public via its website and upon request. Its governing documents and Form 1023 are available to the public upon request.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A Grants: The Community Foundation is an active grantmaker through two competitive grant programs (Greater Mercer Grants and the Fund for Women & Girls)and grantmaking from donor-advised, designated, nonprofit, and field-of-interest funds. Its primary focus is central New Jersey, but grants from donor-advised funds are made regionally and nationally as well. Competitive grants address the needs of low-income people in greater Mercer County, provide operating support for nonprofits working with low-income people, and provide support for work to build the social capital of the region. In 2015 the board defined social capital as building communities.
