THESE ASSETS ARE CONSIDERED A PERMANENTLY RESTRICTED ENDOWMENT FUND. THE ORGANIZATION HAS NO CONTROL OVER THE INVESTMENT OF THE FUNDS. DISTRIBUTIONS ARE MADE TO THE ORGANIZATION OF NO LESS THAN 5% OF THE FAIR VALUE OF THE FUND AS MEASURED BY A 12 QUARTER ROLLING AVERAGE OF THE FAIR VALUE OF THE FUND. FAIR VALUE OF THE ENDOWMENT FUND INCLUDES ANY UNREALIZED GAINS OR LOSSES. PART X, LINE 2: THE ORGANIZATION REVIEWS AND ASSESSES ITS TAX POSITIONS TAKEN OR EXPECTED TO BE TAKEN IN TAX RETURNS. BASED ON THIS ASSESSMENT THE ORGANIZATION DETERMINES WHETHER IT IS MORE LIKELY THAN NOT THAT THE POSITION WOULD BE SUSTAINED UPON EXAMINATION BY TAX AUTHORITIES. THE ORGANIZATION'S ASSESSMENT HAS NOT IDENTIFIED ANY SIGNIFICANT POSITIONS THAT IT BELIEVES WOULD NOT BE SUSTAINED UNDER EXAMINATION. THE ORGANIZATION HAS IDENTIFIED ITS TAX STATUS AS A TAX EXEMPT ENTITY AS IT'S ONLY SIGNIFICANT TAX POSITION AND HAS DETERMINED THAT SUCH TAX POSITION DOES NOT RESULT IN AN UNCERTAINTY REQUIRING RECOGNITION. THE ORGANIZATION IS NOT CURRENTLY UNDER EXAMINATION BY ANY TAXING JURISDICTION. 1 FUNDS FOR THE PURCHASE OF EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS, BOOKS AND OTHER CLASSROOM SUPPLIES 12038 4668088 PART I, LINE 2: GOODS PURCHASED CAN ONLY BE SHIPPED TO THE TEACHER'S SCHOOL, NOT TO A HOME ADDRESS. THE ORGANIZATION USES THE NATIONAL CENTER FOR EDUCATION STATISTICS ("NCES") OR THE MCH STRATEGIC DATA SCHOOL DATABASE TO VERIFY SCHOOL INFORMATION, AS WELL AS ACCREDITATION AGENCY DATABASES AND DOCUMENTS TO ENSURE THAT THE SCHOOL IS AN ACCREDITED EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION. THE ORGANIZATION CONFIRMS THE MAILING ADDRESS LISTED IN THE TEACHER'S REGISTRATION INFORMATION MATCHES THE ADDRESS LISTED IN THE DATABASE. FOR PRIVATE SCHOOLS OR THOSE UNLISTED IN THE NCES OR MCH DATABASE, THE ORGANIZATION LOOKS AT THE SCHOOL'S WEBSITE AND USE THAT ADDRESS IF IT MATCHES GOOGLE MAPS. IF THERE IS A DISCREPANCY BASED ON GOOGLE MAPS, THE ORGANIZATION WILL CONTACT THE SCHOOL. ORDERS (GRANTS) ARE NOT ALLOWED TO BE PROCESSED UNTIL THE SCHOOL AND MAILING ADDRESS HAVE BEEN VERIFIED. TEACHERS GENERALLY CHOOSE WHAT TO SPEND THEIR DONATED FUNDS ON FROM THE VENDORS ON THE ORGANIZATION'S WEBSITE. THOSE VENDORS ARE ONLY EDUCATIONAL MATERIAL SUPPLIERS, CHILDREN'S BOOK PUBLISHERS, AND CLASSROOM SUPPLY VENDORS. IF TEACHERS WANT TO SPEND THEIR FUNDS ON SOMETHING NOT AVAILABLE ON OUR SITE, THEY CAN SUBMIT A REQUEST FOR AN "OUT-OF-NETWORK" PURCHASE. THOSE ARE REVIEWED FIRST BY A STAFF PERSON. IF ANYTHING LOOKS OUT OF THE ORDINARY OR INAPPROPRIATE, THE STAFF PERSON CONTACTS THE TEACHER TO ASK WHY THE ITEM IS BEING REQUESTED AND WHAT IT WILL BE USED FOR. THE SVP OF OPERATIONS, PROGRAMS, AND TECHNOLOGY REVIEWS AND APPROVES PAYMENTS FOR ALL OUT-OF-NETWORK PURCHASES. THIS ENSURES THAT ONLY ITEMS APPROPRIATE FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ARE BEING PURCHASED WITH DONATED FUNDS.
