| Part IV, Section D, Line 3 | Trustees of the Lettie Pate Evans Foundation are particularly sensitive to the needs of the Restricted Fund's supported organizations because they have all served as members of the governing boards of certain supported organizations. The Chairman of the Evans Foundation currently serves as a trustee of two supported organizations. Other trustees continue to serve as emeritus trustees of supported organizations. Income from the Evans Restricted Fund is distributed in grants apportioned according to a formula prescribed in the will of Ms. Lettie Pate Evans. Supported organizations maintain full discretion in using that income even if no discretion exists for the Restricted Fund to alter the formula by which grants are made. Trustees and executive leadership of the supported organizations often meet with Restricted Fund leadership to discuss the Fund's investment philosophy, asset allocation and investment returns. Each of the supported organizations that receives a percentage of the Restricted Fund's annual income regularly expresses its interest in maintaining a reliable, steadily growing income stream from the Restricted Fund. And each supported organization regularly expresses support for the Restricted Fund's record of growing annual distributions since inception. The Restricted Fund provides audited financial statements annually to the supported organizations. Based on the trustees' first-hand knowledge of the needs of the supported organizations and discussions with leadership of the supported organizations, the Restricted Fund has maintained an investment policy that seeks reliable, steady growth in income over time. |
| Part V, Line 1 | The Evans Restricted Fund meets the integral part test because it was a qualifying trust on November 20, 1970 and it continues to meet the requirements of Treasury Regulations 1.509(a)-4(i)(9). The Evans Restricted Fund is a trust that was created in 1953, and it has received no grant, contribution, bequest, or other transfer after its creation prior to November 20, 1970. All unexpired interests in the Evans Restricted Fund are devoted to one or more charitable purposes described in Internal Revenue Code 170(c)(1) or (c)(2)(B) for which a deduction was allowed. The Evans Restricted Fund is required by its governing instrument to distribute all of its net income currently to certain designated supported organizations in fixed shares according to the governing instrument. The trustee of the Evans Restricted Fund - the Lettie Pate Evans Foundation, Inc. - has no discretion to vary either the beneficiary supported organizations nor the amounts payable to the supported organizations. No trustees are disqualified persons within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code 4946(a) (other than foundation managers as defined in 4946(a)(1)(B)). And the Evans Restricted Fund sends annually to its supported organizations a written audit report and a copy of its Form 990 tax return, both of which include a listing of the Fund's assets and income. |

|---|---|
| Form 990, Part V, Lines 2a and 2b: | The organization participates in a common administrative arrangement with five other charitable organizations. All employees are paid by a common paymaster that remits all payroll taxes and files the associated W-2s. Each organization reimburses the common paymaster for its proportionate share of administrative expenses. Fourteen individuals were employed during the calendar year. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 2 | Trustee E. Jenner Wood III and President P. Russell Hardin serve as directors of the Genuine Parts Company, a publicly traded corporation that is unrelated to the Lettie Pate Evans Restricted Fund. Trustees Lawrence L. Gellerstedt III and David P. Stockert are partners in private real estate investment company Sweetwater Holdings. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 4 | In November 2022, trustees of the Lettie Pate Evans Foundation amended the organization's bylaws to impose terms for elected trustees. Under the new bylaws, trustees elected on and after April 4, 2023 shall not serve more than four, three-year terms as trustee of the Foundation. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11b | The Form 990 is prepared with audited financial data which has been reviewed by the governing board. Internal accounting staff prepare the 990 with the aid of preparation software. Accounting team members individually review the 990 according to a checklist. Numbers are verified against audited financial statements. The 990 is then reviewed by the Controller, Assistant Controller, Treasurer, Vice President/Secretary and President. A draft of the 990 is provided to all governing board members prior to filing. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c | Officers and trustees disclose annually those affiliations which may give rise to a conflict of interest. The Secretary keeps conflict disclosures on file. Trustees consider conflicts or potential conflicts before committing fund assets. Disclosure is made on the record. Officers consult the list of conflicts or potential conflicts when making vendor decisions. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15 | The governing board determines compensation for all officers (including the President, Vice President/Secretary and Treasurer) and all staff. In setting compensation, trustees consult two independent compensation studies showing compensation data at comparable organizations. Individual compensation amounts are evaluated and determined annually as part of the budgeting process conducted at the board's November meeting; 2022 compensation was determined during the November 2021 board meeting. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19 | The organization's governing documents and audited financial statements are available on the organization's website. The conflict of interest policy is kept by the organization's Secretary and is made available upon request. |
