Return Reference Explanation
Part V, Line 4: TO SUPPORT LOCAL NONPROFITS THAT STRENGTHEN THE LIVES OF PEOPLE IN THE GREATER GRAND RAPIDS AREA.
Part X, Line 2: THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE HAS RULED THAT THE FOUNDATION AND ITS SUPPORTING ORGANIZATION ARE PUBLIC CHARITIES, AS DESCRIBED IN SECTIONS 509(A)(1) AND 170(B)(1)(A)(VI) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE. CONSEQUENTLY, THE FOUNDATION IS EXEMPT FROM FEDERAL INCOME TAX AND CERTAIN EXCISE TAXES IMPOSED ON PRIVATE FOUNDATIONS. ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES GENERALLY ACCEPTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA REQUIRE MANAGEMENT TO EVALUATE TAX POSITIONS TAKEN BY THE FOUNDATION AND RECOGNIZE A TAX LIABILITY IF THE FOUNDATION HAS TAKEN AN UNCERTAIN POSITION THAT MORE LIKELY THAN NOT WOULD NOT BE SUSTAINED UPON EXAMINATION BY THE IRS OR OTHER APPLICABLE TAXING AUTHORITIES. MANAGEMENT HAS ANALYZED THE TAX POSITIONS TAKEN BY THE FOUNDATION AND HAS CONCLUDED THAT AS OF JUNE 30, 2016 AND 2015, THERE ARE NO UNCERTAIN POSITIONS TAKEN OR EXPECTED TO BE TAKEN THAT WOULD REQUIRE RECOGNITION OF A LIABILITY OR DISCLOSURE IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. THE FOUNDATION IS SUBJECT TO ROUTINE AUDITS BY TAXING JURISDICTIONS. THE AUDIT BY THE IRS RELATED TO THE RBB II 990 DURING THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2015 WAS CLOSED WITH NO IMPACT TO RBB OR THE FOUNDATION.
Part XI, Line 2d - Other Adjustments: INCOME FROM PERPETUAL TRUSTS -9,568. ADJUSTMENT FOR PRESENT VALUE -49,276. CHANGE IN ANNUITY -25,173.
Part XI, Line 4b - Other Adjustments: FAS 136 ADJUSTMENT - AGENCY TRANSACTIONS 149,889. SPECIAL EVENT EXPENSE -12,689.
Part XII, Line 2d - Other Adjustments: EXPENSES FROM PERPETUAL TRUSTS 179,931. SPECIAL EVENT EXPENSE 12,689. TRANSFER FROM PERPETUAL TRUSTS -157,877.
Part XII, Line 4b - Other Adjustments: FAS 136 ADJUSTMENT - AGENCY TRANSACTIONS 589,112.
PART XII, LINE 4b INTERESTS IN PERPETUAL TRUSTS ARE FUNDS OVER WHICH THE DONOR HAS PLACED MATERIAL RESTRICTIONS. FOR TAX REPORTING PURPOSES, THESE FUNDS ARE NOT A COMPONENT FUND OF THE FOUNDATION AND ARE TREATED AS A SEPARATE TRUST, NONPROFIT CORPORATION, OR AN UNINCORPORATED ASSOCIATION THAT IS REQUIRED TO FILE ITS OWN TAX RETURN. THEREFORE, THESE FUNDS ARE SUBTRACTED FROM THE FOUNDATION'S FORM 990. WHEN ASSETS ARE TRANSFERRED TO THE FOUNDATION FOR USE IN ITS OVERALL MISSION, THESE ASSETS ARE RECORDED AS A CONTRIBUTION.
