The earnings from the endowment may be used by the NACC to fund the ongoing mission of the organization in providing societal justice for children. NACC retains in perpetuity the original value of unreleased gifts donated to the endowment. Endowment funds decrease upon release of restrictions on gifts by the donor. The restriction placed on the original gift and its accumulated investment earnings from the Lea for Justice Endowment fund was released by the donor in tax year 2018, resulting in a substantial reduction of endowment funds. These endowment funds have remained unspent and are classified as board-restricted net assets. The accumulated investment earnings have also remained intact. Part X, Line 2: National Association of Counsel for Children is exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and is classified as other than a private corporation. NACC follows FASB ASC 740 Income Taxes, which requires entities to determine whether a tax position is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority. NACC has evaluated tax positions taken related to its tax-exempt status, and none are considered to be uncertain. Therefore, no amounts have been recognized as of December 31, 2022.
