THE ASSESSMENT OF THE TAX POSITION IS BASED SOLELY ON THE TECHNICAL MERITS OF THE POSITION, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE LIKELIHOOD THAT THE TAX POSITION MAY BE CHALLENGED. MTF HAS PROCESSES PRESENTLY IN PLACE TO ENSURE THE MAINTENANCE OF ITS TAX- EXEMPT STATUS; TO IDENTIFY AND REPORT UNRELATED INCOME; TO DETERMINE ITS FILING AND TAX OBLIGATIONS IN JURISDICTIONS FOR WHICH IT WAS NEXUS; AND TO IDENTIFY AND EVALUATE OTHER MATTERS THAT MAY BE CONSIDERED TAX POSITIONS.

Return Reference Explanation
FORM 990 - ORGANIZATION'S MISSION MUSCULOSKELETAL TRANSPLANT FOUNDATION, INC. ("MTF- OR THE "FOUNDATION") IS DEDICATED TO PROVIDING QUALITY ALLOGRAFT TISSUE FOR TRANSPLANTATION THROUGH A COMMITMENT TO EXCELLENCE IN EDUCATION, RESEARCH, RECOVERY, AND CARE FOR RECIPIENTS, DONORS AND THEIR FAMILIES. MTF CONTINUES TO PROMOTE THE HEALTH AND WELFARE OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC BY (1) MAXIMIZING THE AVAILABILITY OF HIGH QUALITY HUMAN TISSUE INCLUDING BONE, DERMAL AND PLACENTAL TISSUE; 2) SUPPORTING MEDICAL, SCIENTIFIC AND OTHER EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH WITH RESPECT TO TISSUE DONATION, RECOVERY AND TRANSPLANTATION; (3) EDUCATING THE GENERAL PUBLIC WITH RESPECT TO THE IMPORTANCE AND BENEFITS OF TISSUE DONATION AND TRANSPLANTATION; AND (4) OTHERWISE PROMOTING TISSUE DONATION THROUGH A COMMITMENT TO EXCELLENCE IN EDUCATION, RESEARCH, RECOVERY AND CARE FOR DONORS, RECIPIENTS, AND THEIR FAMILIES. THE MUSCULOSKELETAL TRANSPLANT FOUNDATION, INC. WAS INCORPORATED ON JANUARY 30, 1987, AS A DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA NON-PROFIT MEMBERSHIP ORGANIZATION AND IS A 501(C)(3) ORGANIZATION. THERE IS A CRITICAL NEED FOR MUSCULOSKELETAL, CARDIOVASCULAR, SKIN, PLACENTAL AND OCULAR TISSUE FOR TRANSPLANTATION. IN ORDER TO ACCOMPLISH MTF'S MISSION AND THESE ACTIVITIES, THE FOUNDATION MAINTAINS A DONOR RECOVERY NETWORK, SUPPORTS DONOR AWARENESS PROGRAMS FOR THE PUBLIC, DONATES BONE AND OTHER TISSUE FOR RESEARCH, PROVIDES RESEARCH GRANTS, AND OTHERWISE SUPPORTS BONE, SKIN, WOUNDCARE AND CARDIOVASCULAR TISSUE TRANSPLANTATION, RESEARCH AND EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS. THE FOUNDATION'S MEMBERSHIP IS COMPRISED OF 501(C)(3) NON-PROIT ORGANIZATIONS. THE MEMBERSHIP CONSISTS OF FIFTY-FIVE ACADEMIC MEMBERS (ORTHOPAEDIC TEACHING INSTITUTIONS), TWENTY-NINE RECOVERY ORGANIZATIONS (ORGAN, EYE AND TISSUE PROCUREMENT ORGANIZATIONS) THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES. BIOCON, INC., A NON-PROFIT 501(C)(3) ORGANIZATION, SERVES AS THE SOLE CORPORATE MEMBER OF THE FOUNDATION. THE FOUNDATION MAINTAINS A NATIONWIDE DONOR RECOVERY NETWORK THAT IS BASED ON ITS AFFILIATION WITH ITS RECOVERY AND REFERRING MEMBERS. THIS NATIONAL NETWORK ALLOWS THE PUBLIC TO QUICKLY ACCESS NEEDED ALLOGRAFT TISSUE. BONE AND OTHER ALLOGRAFT TISSUE RECOVERED THROUGH THIS NETWORK IS SUBJECT TO STANDARDIZED SCREENING CRITERIA FOR DONATION ESTABLISHED BY THE FOUNDATION'S MEDICAL BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND DONATION BOARD OF TRUSTEES (DESCRIBED BELOW). THE FOUNDATION ALSO MAINTAINS A QUALITY ASSURANCE PROGRAM WITH RESPECT TO ALLOGRAFT TISSUES RECOVERED THROUGH THE NETWORK.

THE FOUNDATION PROVIDES RECOVERY ORGANIZATION MEMBERS AND THE GENERAL COMMUNITY THEY SERVE WITH FUNDING FOR HOSPITAL DEVELOPMENT AND DONOR AWARENESS SERVICES.
