The Sidney M. Wolinsky Fellowship Fund awards a two-year fellowship named in honor of the Organization's Co-Founder, Sid Wolinsky. Preference for fellowships is given to individuals with disabilities. The Organization treats original donor gifts to this fund as perpetually restricted. The Paradis Legacy Fund is intended to support high impact litigation. If a case, supported through the Larry Paradis Legacy Fund, recovers costs, those costs will be allocated back to the fund and are classified has having an implied donor restriction as a result given this commitment to donors. Additional amounts may be designated to the fund as a result of attorney fee awards. While the Organization intends for the fund to provide long term support to such activity no amount in this fund is perpetually restricted and it is possible that funds will be expended on cases with no cost or attorney fee awards. Part X : FIN48 Footnote The Internal Revenue Service and the California Franchise Tax Board have determined that the Organization is exempt from federal and state income taxes under IRC 501(c)(3) and California RTC 23701(d).
