Return Reference Explanation
Schedule I, Part I, Line 2 Procedures for monitoring use of grant funds. MIT PROVIDES SEVERAL TYPES OF GRANTS AND ASSISTANCE TO INDIVIDUALS AND ORGANIZATIONS. FOR PRIZES AND AWARDS, THE INDIVIDUAL OR ORGANIZATION MUST HAVE MET THE SPECIFIC CRITERIA TO BE SELECTED FOR THE PRIZE OR AWARD. IN THE CASE OF FELLOWSHIPS AND SCHOLARSHIPS, THE INDIVIDUAL IS REQUIRED TO UTILIZE THE FUNDS IN FURTHERANCE OF THEIR EDUCATION AT MIT. MIT MAKES GRANTS TO SEVERAL LOCAL CHAPTERS OF NATIONAL FRATERNITIES, SORORITIES AND INDEPENDENT LIVING GROUPS. THESE ORGANIZATIONS ARE COMPRISED OF MIT STUDENTS, AND HOUSE THESE STUDENTS. GRANTS ARE MADE TO SUPPORT THE OPERATIONAL COSTS OF THE EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES OF THE HOUSES (SO THAT THE HOUSES STAY CONSISTENT WITH MIT'S MISSION). IN ORDER FOR AN ORGANIZATION TO RECEIVE AN INDEPENDENT RESIDENCE DEVELOPMENT FUND (IRDF) GRANT, THEY MUST GO THROUGH A RIGOROUS APPLICATION PROCESS. MIT GENERALLY DOES NOT MAKE DISBURSEMENTS TO INDIVIDUALS OR ORGANIZATIONS FOR CHARITABLE PURPOSES, EXCEPT THROUGH THE MIT COMMUNITY SERVICE FUND. THIS FUND'S RESOURCES COME PRIMARILY FROM CONTRIBUTIONS FROM MEMBERS OF THE MIT COMMUNITY. MIT DISBURSES THESE FUNDS FOR CHARITABLE PURPOSES INCLUDING SMALL GRANTS, INSUBSTANTIAL IN THE AGGREGATE, TO LOCALLY BASED CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS FOR THE PURPOSE OF FOSTERING BETTER COMMUNITY RELATIONS. PROCEDURES OF THE INSTITUTE WITH RESPECT TO ADMISSIONS, SCHOLARSHIPS, FELLOWSHIPS, AND STUDENT LOANS ARE PUBLICIZED IN THE INSTITUTE BULLETIN WHICH CONSTITUTES ITS CATALOGUE. GRANTS ARE MADE IN THE CONTEXT OF ACADEMIC OR RESEARCH PROGRAMS: RECIPIENTS SPEND THEIR GRANT FUNDS UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF THE PROGRAM AND ARE ACCOUNTABLE THROUGH THE PROGRAM FOR THE USE OF THE FUNDS.

Return Reference Explanation
Schedule R, Part IV MIT IS THE OWNER (RECEIVED BY WAY OF TWO CHARITABLE GIFTS AND DISCLOSED IN A PRIOR TAX YEAR) OF A MAJORITY OF BOSE CORPORATION'S CLASS B SHARES. THIS INTEREST IS ENTIRELY PASSIVE AND PURELY ECONOMIC AS MIT POSSESSES ONLY THE RIGHT TO RECEIVE DIVIDENDS WHICH MAY BE DISTRIBUTED ON THE SHARES. THE CLASS B SHARES HAVE NO VOTING POWER OVER BOARD MEMBERSHIP, CORPORATE LIQUIDATION OR SALE, OR OTHER CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND OPERATIONS ISSUES. AS A CLASS B SHAREHOLDER, MIT IS NOT PERMITTED TO SELL ITS STOCK WITHOUT THE EXPRESS APPROVAL OF BOSE'S BOARD. PUBLIC DISCLOSURE OF CERTAIN DETAILS ABOUT THE GIFT COULD PUT BOSE CORPORATION AT A COMPETITIVE DISADVANTAGE.* * SEVERAL IRS PRONOUNCEMENTS HAVE MADE IT CLEAR THAT THE FORM 990 IS NOT INTENDED TO PUT A DISCLOSED DONOR AT A POTENTIAL COMPETITIVE DISADVANTAGE.
Schedule R, Part II AS A RESULT OF MIT'S CONTROL OF AN ORGANIZATION THAT CONTROLS ANOTHER ORGANIZATION WHICH SERVES AS THE CENTRAL ORGANIZATION UNDER A GROUP EXEMPTION, MIT HAS RELATED ORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE SUBORDINATE ORGANIZATIONS INCLUDED IN A GROUP EXEMPTION. PURSUANT TO IRS INSTRUCTIONS, THESE ORGANIZATIONS ARE NOT REQUIRED TO BE SEPARATELY LISTED ON SCHEDULE R.
