ONCE THIS FINAL DRAFT IS PRESENTED TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES, THE RETURN IS FILED WITH IRS BY THE FILING DEADLINE. |

| FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 15 | COMPENSATION FOR THE PRESIDENT/CEO POSITION IS DETERMINED ORIGINALLY BY A SEARCH COMMITTEE AND THEN MONITORED BY THE FINANCE COMMITTEE, BOTH OF WHICH ARE APPOINTED BY THE CHAIRMAN AND THE BOARD OF THE FOUNDATION. THESE COMMITTEES ARE COMPOSED OF THE CHAIRMAN, CURRENT BOARD MEMBERS, FORMER BOARD MEMBERS AND COMMUNITY LEADERS EXPERIENCED WITH OTHER NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS IN OUR SERVICE AREA.

| FORM 990, PART X, LINE 12 - INVESTMENTS - OTHER SECURITIES | IN DECEMBER 2015, THE FOUNDATION RECEIVED AS A DONATION A LEASEHOLD INTEREST OF 1,858 ACRES OF TIMBER RIGHTS REFERRED TO AS A TIMBER PURCHASE AND CUTTING AGREEMENT (THE "TPC") IN NORTHERN ALABAMA. THE TPC IS A 99 YEAR AGREEMENT THAT PRIMARILY GIVES THE TPC OWNER THE RIGHT TO GROW AND HARVEST TIMBER FOR 87 MORE YEARS ON CERTAIN PROPERTIES IN WHICH THE TIMBER RIGHTS WERE OWNED BY THE DONOR. ADDITIONALLY, THE TPC OWNER ALSO HAS RECREATIONAL RIGHTS FOR THE TERM OF THE AGREEMENT. THERE ARE NO ANNUAL PAYMENTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE TPC AND THE TPC OWNER IS ONLY SUBJECT TO PROPERTY TAXES FOR TIMBER GROWING PURPOSES ($2.50 PER ACRE). THERE IS NO REFORESTATION EXPENSE FOR THE TPC OWNER DURING THE LAST 24 YEARS OF THE AGREEMENT, AS THE OWNERSHIP OF ANY ACREAGE CLEAR- CUT DURING THAT TIME PERIOD WILL REVERT BACK TO THE LANDOWNER. ADDITIONALLY, THERE IS AN OPTION FOR THE LANDOWNER TO BUY OUT THE RIGHTS TO THE TPC FROM THE TPC OWNER AT THE 50 AND 75 YEAR ANNIVERSARIES. ADDITIONALLY, IF THERE IS ANY LAND NEEDED FOR MINERAL USE BY THE LANDOWNER, THE LANDOWNER WOULD HAVE TO PAY THE TPC OWNER THE FAIR MARKET VALUE OF ALL STANDING TIMBER AS WELL AS THE VALUE OF THE LOSS OF FUTURE GROWING RIGHTS FOR THE TERM OF THE USE ON THE PARCELS BEING USED. THE FAIR MARKET VALUE OF THE TPC WAS ORIGINALLY APPRAISED AT $2,300,000 BY AN INDEPENDENT THIRD PARTY APPRAISER. THE TPC WILL BE RE-APPRAISED EVERY 5 YEARS FROM THE DATE OF DONATION. IN YEARS THAT AN APPRAISAL IS NOT OBTAINED, MANAGEMENT ESTIMATES THE CHANGES IN FAIR MARKET VALUE BASED ON CURRENT INVENTORY ESTIMATES AND MARKET PRICES AS RECEIVED FROM THE TIMBER MANAGEMENT COMPANY. ANY CHANGES IN FAIR MARKET VALUE ARE RECORDED AS UNREALIZED GAINS OR LOSSES IN THE CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES. |
