| Schedule A, Part IV, Section A, Line 1 | DESIGNATION OF SUPPORTED ORGANIZATIONS - Woodward Trust was created by an act of the Ohio State Legislature in 1831 for the exclusive purpose of providing for the educational benefit of needy children in Cincinnati. Selection of organizations supported is made on an annual basis by the Board of Trustees in alignment with this purpose. |
| Schedule A, Part IV, Section A, Line 5a | ADDITION & REMOVAL OF SUPPORTED ORGANIZATIONS - Most of the organizations supported by Woodward Trust, particularly our larger recipients, continue annually. We ocassionally add or remove a recipient based on changing needs, new opportunities, financial circumstances, and assessment of the highest & best use of our funds. All grant decisions are specifically made by the Board of Trustees, primarily at our annual Grant Review Meeting in June of each year for the following school year. For fye 7/31/16, 13 of 16 supported organizations continued and received $159,492 in grants. 3 organizations were removed: Manifest Gallery 42-1640342 ($1,965), CC ProScan Fund (Queen City Chess) 32-0026050 ($3,110), National Underground Railroad Freedom Center 31-1436217 ($5,000). 1 organization wase added: Cincinnati Shakespeare Company 31-1413229 ($6,500). |
| Schedule A, Part IV, Section D, Line 1 | NOTICE TO SUPPORTED ORGANIZATIONS - Annually, Woodward Trust provides each of its supported organizations with a copy of its Annual Report for the previous fiscal year which includes our financial statements and a description of its various programs and the amounts disbursed to each. This report also advises that our financial statements undergo a biennial audit by an independent CPA, and that our Form 990 is available at www.Guidestar.org and upon request. The organization's governing documents have not changed since they were authorized by the Ohio State Legislature in 1831. |
| Schedule A, Part IV, Section D, Line 2 | RELATIONSHIPS WITH SUPPORTED ORGANIZATIONS - Woodward Trust maintains direct contact with key management within each supported organization, and annually requires a resubmission and reconsideration of each grant recipient's information and need. |
| Schedule A, Part IV, Section D, Line 3 | VOICE IN POLICY AND DIRECTING - The organizations supported by Woodward Trust have no direct voice in its investment policies or in directing the use of its income or assets. Woodward Trust was established by an act of the Ohio State Legislature which structured oversight and control of its operation through the appointment process for its trustees - 3 trustees appointed by the Cincinnati City Council to continuously overlapping 3-year terms, and 2 trustees appointed by the Hamilton County Court of Common Pleas to simultaneous 7-year terms - and a mandatory Annual Report of its status and operations to those authoritative bodies. |
| Schedule A, Part V, Line 1 | INTEGRAL PART TEST: Woodward Trust was created by an act of the Ohio State Legislature in 1831, and it has continued to act in its original purpose and operation since then. It was granted tax-exempt status as a charitable entity by IRS in 1951. ***** DISTRIBUTABLE AMOUNT: The trust has no defined requirements as to the amounts distributable in any period; it has no minimum, maximum, recommended or required distribution. However, as part of its annual Grant Review, and prior to any award decisions, the Board of Trustees calculates a preliminary grants budget of 5% of estimated total net investments as of the start of the next fiscal year. In addition, the Board also considers the aggregate net surplus/deficit of the previous 5 fiscal years. This data is coupled with other environmental and economic perspectives to determine the Trustees Approved Budget for grants for the next fiscal year. For each of the past 10 years, this approved budget as well as actual grant distributions have exceeded both 85% of prior year net income and 3.5% of net investments. ***** ATTENTIVENESS TEST - The organizations supported by Woodward Trust are completely independent of it, and none are significantly dependent on its grants for their overall operations and continued existence. Further, the Woodward Trustees do not wish to become such a significant source of support for any recipient. Woodward Trust was established by an act of the Ohio State Legislature which structured oversight and control of its operation through the appointment process for its trustees - 3 trustees appointed by the Cincinnati City Council to continuously overlapping 3-year terms, and 2 trustees appointed by the Hamilton County Court of Common Pleas to simultaneous 7-year terms - and a mandatory Annual Report of its status and operations to those authoritative bodies. |
