Return Reference Explanation
Schedule D, Part III, Line 4 Collections of art - description of collections THE COLLEGE ART COLLECTION WAS ESTABLISHED IN 1935 AS A TEACHING COLLECTION WITH THE PURPOSE OF PROVIDING BEREA COLLEGE STUDENTS WITH THE BEST EXAMPLES OF ART AND ARTIFACTS FROM AROUND THE WORLD. CURRENTLY, THE ART COLLECTION IS MADE UP OF MORE THAN 12,000 PIECES OF ART AND ARTIFACTS OF CULTURAL SIGNIFICANCE. INCLUDED IN THE COLLECTION ARE PAINTINGS AND PRINTS BY EUROPEAN MASTERS, CONTEMPORARY POTTERY, APPALACHIAN TEXTILES, JAPANESE AND CHINESE PRINTS AND SCROLLS, COINS, MEDALS, AND JEWELRY; COSTUMES AND ACCESSORIES; DOLLS, TOYS, MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS; AND TOOLS AND WEAPONS. THE BEREA COLLEGE ART COLLECTION IS MADE ACCESSIBLE TO THE CAMPUS AND SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES WITH THE GOAL OF PROVIDING RICH OPPORTUNITIES TO EXPERIENCE THE VISUAL ARTS FOR ALL OF THE COMMUNITIES THAT BEREA COLLEGE SERVES. BEREA COLLEGE MAINTAINS AND MAKES AVAILABLE A COLLECTION OF ARTIFACTS TO SUPPORT TEACHING AND RESEARCH ON APPALACHIA. THE APPALACHIAN ARTIFACTS COLLECTION CONTAINS NEARLY 3,000 OBJECTS DOCUMENTING LIFE IN THE REGION. ARTIFACT COLLECTIONS INCLUDE: MOUNTAIN REGION LIFE CIRCA 1850-1940; REGIONAL CRAFT TRADITIONS, ESPECIALLY TEXTILES, POTTERY AND WOODWORKING; STEREOTYPES OF APPALACHIAN PEOPLE; AND BEREA COLLEGE HISTORY.
Schedule D, Part V, Line 4 Intended uses of endowment funds BEREA PROVIDES FROM ITS ENDOWMENT AND OTHER SOURCES, A TUITION PROMISE SCHOLARSHIP FOR EVERY ADMITTED STUDENT EACH YEAR, MEANING THAT NO STUDENT EVER PAYS TUITION. IN ADDITION TO ACADEMIC REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION, THERE ARE ALSO FINANCIAL ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION, SINCE THE COLLEGE SEEKS TO SERVE ACADEMICALLY PROMISING STUDENTS WHO CANNOT AFFORD THE COST OF HIGHER EDUCATION. NEARLY 70 PERCENT OF THE ANNUAL ENDOWMENT SPENDABLE RETURN IS USED TO FUND THESE TUITION PROMISE SCHOLARSHIPS AND OTHER DIRECT FINANCIAL AID TO STUDENTS. STUDENTS ATTENDING THE COLLEGE RECEIVE ON AVERAGE SCHOLARSHIPS AND GRANT AID ADDING UP TO MORE THAN 92 PERCENT OF THEIR ANNUAL COST OF ATTENDANCE. THE USE OF THE SPENDABLE RETURN FROM DONOR-RESTRICTED ENDOWMENTS OR TRUE ENDOWMENT FUNDS ARE NORMALLY ESTABLISHED BY THE DONOR AND ACCEPTED BY THE COLLEGE IN AN ENDOWMENT FUND AGREEMENT. MOST OF BEREA'S TRUE ENDOWMENTS ARE RESTRICTED TO SUPPORT THE COST OF EDUCATION (KNOWN AS TUITION TO OTHER SCHOOLS), OR TO PROVIDE DIRECT FINANCIAL AID TO STUDENTS TO HELP PAY ROOM AND BOARD. IN OTHER CASES, SOME ENDOWMENTS ARE MORE RESTRICTIVE. FOR EXAMPLE, THE ANNUAL SPENDABLE RETURN FROM ONE OF BEREA'S ENDOWMENT FUNDS SUPPORTS A PROGRAM ON CAMPUS THAT PROVIDES A LAPTOP COMPUTER TO EVERY STUDENT. ANOTHER ENDOWMENT FUND GOES BEYOND THE CAMPUS COMMUNITY ITSELF BY PROVIDING OUTREACH SUPPORT TO OTHER NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS IN UNDER-SERVED RURAL APPALACHIA. THIS ENDOWMENT FUND HELPS THE COLLEGE CARRY OUT ITS EIGHTH GREAT COMMITMENT OF SERVING APPALACHIA THROUGH EDUCATION AND OTHER APPROPRIATE MEANS.
Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 FIN 48 (ASC 740) footnote BEREA COLLEGE HAS A DETERMINATION FROM THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE THAT IT IS A NOT-FOR-PROFIT ORGANIZATION EXEMPT FROM FEDERAL INCOME TAX UNDER SECTION 501(C)(3) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE. HOWEVER, THE COLLEGE IS SUBJECT TO FEDERAL INCOME TAX ON ANY UNRELATED BUSINESS INCOME. NO PROVISION FOR INCOME TAX HAS BEEN MADE IN THE ACCOMPANYING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. GAAP REQUIRES THE COLLEGE TO EVALUATE TAX POSITIONS TAKEN BY THE COLLEGE AND RECOGNIZE A TAX LIABILITY (OR ASSET) IF THE COLLEGE HAS TAKEN AN UNCERTAIN POSITION THAT MORE LIKELY THAN NOT WOULD BE SUSTAINED UPON EXAMINATION BY THE IRS. THE COLLEGE HAS ANALYZED THE TAX POSITIONS TAKEN BY THE COLLEGE AND HAS CONCLUDED THAT THERE ARE NO UNCERTAIN POSITIONS TAKEN OR EXPECTED TO BE TAKEN THAT WOULD REQUIRE RECOGNITION OF A LIABILITY (OR ASSET) OR DISCLOSURE IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. THE COLLEGE IS SUBJECT TO ROUTINE AUDITS BY TAXING JURISDICTIONS; HOWEVER THERE ARE CURRENTLY NO AUDITS FOR ANY TAX PERIODS IN PROGRESS. THE COLLEGE BELIEVES IT IS NO LONGER SUBJECT TO INCOME EXAMINATIONS FOR YEARS PRIOR TO 2013.

ReturnReference Explanation
Schedule F, Part I, Line 2 Procedures for monitoring use of grant funds The College occasionally provides assistance to international students traveling to the US to attend Berea College. Funds used to provide travel assistance are paid from the spendable return of an endowed fund, received by a donor. The account is monitored by the Center for International Education and all funds not used in one fiscal year are then carried over to the next fiscal year. Once a student has expressed a need for travel assistance, the Center for International Education will review the student's initial application to validate need. A student can be awarded the full cost of the travel or only receive a portion. The Center for International Education will make the travel arrangements on behalf of the student. A student can only receive travel assistance once. By donor request, the student is not made aware of the help received until he/she graduates. The student's name and country is also sent to the Development Office, who will also notify the donor of funds used. The student's name, country, and year that funding was received, is also kept on record at the Center for International Education.

THE BCAF IS IN REGULAR CONTACT WITH GRANTEES THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, VISITING EACH NEW GRANTEE AND REPEAT GRANTEES WHERE POSSIBLE. The staff of Grow Appalachia, including the director and two assistant directors, all individually review funding proposals from the potential partner sites for quality of programming, outreach activities and budget line items. This staff then meet as a group and discuss each proposal and either approve them as submitted, reject them out of hand, accept them conditionally asking for clarification or request more information to allow a sound decision. When the information requests are met the staff meet again and either accept or reject the proposal. Grow Appalachia also has an advisory board consisting of college and non-college members who are kept informed of Grow Appalachia's activities and program direction and who then offer advice and counsel for the program. FEDERAL, STATE, INSTITUTIONAL AND OTHER GRANTS ARE AWARDED TO STUDENTS BASED ON FINANCIAL INFORMATION GAINED FROM THE FREE APPLICATION FOR FEDERAL STUDENT AID (FAFSA) THAT IS COMPLETED EACH YEAR. A THIRD-PARTY SOFTWARE VENDOR PROVIDES THE FEDERAL REGULATIONS BY WHICH GRANTS ARE GIVEN. THE FAFSA INFORMATION COMES FROM ELECTRONIC FILES WHICH ARE PASSWORD PROTECTED.ALL STUDENT APPLICATIONS FOR GRANTS ARE STORED ELECTRONICALLY AND ARE PASSWORD PROTECTED. DISBURSEMENTS ARE REVIEWED DAILY TO INSURE ACCURACY.
