Return Reference Explanation
SCHEDULE D, PART II, LINE 9: THE FOUNDATION ACQUIRES CONSERVATION PROPERTY THROUGH DONATIONS OR PURCHASES FOR SUBSEQUENT SALE OR DONATION TO OR FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE NPS. REAL PROPERTY DONATED IS VALUED AT ITS ESTIMATED FAIR MARKET VALUE AT THE TIME OF DONATION. THE CARRYING VALUE IS REDUCED IF THE ESTIMATED MARKET VALUE DECREASES BELOW THE ORIGINAL RECORDED VALUE. CONVENANTS ON THE PROPERTIES RESTRICT THEIR FUTURE USE TO CONSERVATION ACTIVITIES.
SCHEDULE D, PART IV, LINE 2B: FUNDS MANAGED AS AGENT FOR OTHER ENTITIES ARE EXCLUDED FROM NET ASSETS. THE FOUNDATION ACTS AS THE CUSTODIAL AGENT OF THESE FUNDS, SO THE RELATED REVENUES AND EXPENSES ARE NOT RECOGNIZED IN THE STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES.
SCHEDULE D, PART V, LINE 4: The Foundation uses investment earnings, consistent with the fundamentals of the Uniform Prudent Management of Institutional Funds Act (UPMIFA), to support programs and projects of the National Park Service based upon priority and funds availability.
SCHEDULE D, PART X, LINE 2: The Foundation is exempt from federal income taxes under Public Law 90-209, as described in Section 501(c)(1)(a)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). In addition, in 1981, the Foundation received a determination that it is exempt from federal income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the IRC and it qualifies as a public charity under Section 509(a)(1) of the IRC. The Foundation received a determination letter in 2000 that specifically states it is exempt from filing the Return of Organizations Exempt from Income Tax, Form 990, unless the Foundation has unrelated business income. Effective fiscal year 2012, the Board of Directors elected to file Form 990 on an annual basis. Contributions are tax deductible to donors under section 170 of the Code. Under FASB ASC No. 740-10, Income Taxes, the Foundation must recognize the tax benefit associated with tax positions taken for tax return purposes when it is more-likely-than-not that the position will be sustained. The Foundation does not believe there are any material uncertain tax positions and; accordingly, will not recognize any liability for unrecognized tax benefits. The Foundation believes that it is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for fiscal years before 2017. For the years ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, there were no interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions recorded or included in the accompanying statements of activities.
SCHEDULE D, PART XI, LINE 2B & PART XII, LINE 2A: IN FISCAL YEAR 2020 NPF SECURED AND AIRED PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENTS (PSAs) ON LOCAL AND REGIONAL TELEVISION MEDIA OUTLETS ACROSS THE U.S. VALUED AT MORE THAN $27.5M. THE PSA SPOTS USED IMAGERY AND NARRATION TO EDUCATE THE PUBLIC ABOUT NATIONAL PARKS AND TO INVITE AND ENCOURAGE ALL AUDIENCES TO VISIT AND ENJOY THEM. THE PSA AIRTIME WAS DONATED TO NPF. ALTHOUGH THE VALUE OF THE DONATED AIRTIME AND COSTS WERE INCLUDED IN NPFS AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS REVENUE AND PROGRAMMATIC IMPACT EXPENSE RESPECTIVELY PER GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES, THEY HAVE BEEN REMOVED FROM REVENUE AND EXPENSE FROM THE 990 VIA SCHEDULE D PARTS XI AND XII (DONATED SERVICES AND EXPENSES ARE EXCLUDED FROM 990 REPORTING). HOWEVER, THE AIRED PSAs PROVIDED SIGNIFICANT POSITIVE IMPACT AND POSITIVE MESSAGING TO THE PUBLIC AND FOR THE NATIONAL PARK SYSTEM CONSISTENT WITH ONE OF NPFS MISSION PILLARS - CONNECTING PEOPLE TO NATIONAL PARKS. HAD THE COST OF THESE PSAs NOT BEEN REMOVED FROM THE 990, NPFS TOTAL PROGRAMMATIC FUNCTIONAL EXPENSE (990, PART IX) WOULD HAVE BEEN $75.5M, OR 73.5% OF TOTAL EXPENSES.
SCHEDULE D, PART XI, LINE 2D: BAD DEBT EXPENSE NETTED WITH INVESTMENT INCOME $-176,801
SCHEDULE D, PART XII, LINE 4B: BAD DEBT EXPENSE NETTED WITH INVESTMENT INCOME $176,801
