ReturnReference Explanation
PART I, LINE 2: WE MAINTAIN ONLINE INFORMATION ON GRANTS ON OUR INTRANET AND SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION SUCH AS GRANT PROPOSALS, SIGNED AGREEMENTS, REPORTS FROM GRANTEES, ETC. WE ENTER INTO APPROPRIATE CONTRACTUAL AGREEMENTS WITH INDIVIDUAL OR CORPORATE GRANTEES REQUIRING THEM TO ACCOMPLISH CHARITABLE WORK OF DIRECT BENEFIT TO THE PUBLIC AND SPECIFICALLY DESCRIBED IN A STATEMENT OF WORK. FOR GRANTS TO NON-US NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS WE USE A GRANT AGREEMENT BASED ON ONE RECOMMENDED IN THE COUNCIL ON FOUNDATIONS PUBLICATION "UNUSUAL GRANTS: AN ONLINE LEGAL GUIDE FOR PUBLIC CHARITIES", SECTION D, "INTERNATIONAL GRANTMAKING" FOR PRIVATE FOUNDATIONS, ALTHOUGH AS OF THE TIME OF FILING THIS FORM 990, WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF REVIEWING THESE FORMS TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH BEST PRACTICE GIVEN RECENT CHANGES TO THE IRS GUIDANCE ABOUT FOREIGN GRANTMAKING BY PRIVATE FOUNDATIONS. ALTHOUGH MOST OF OUR FOREIGN GRANTS ARE GRANTS TO FOREIGN CHARITIES THAT WE HAVE DETERMINED TO MEET THE STANDARDS OF SECTION 501(C)(3), WE OCCASIONALLY MAKE GRANTS TO OTHER NONPROFITS WE CANNOT DETERMINE TO BE EQUIVALENT TO A US CHARITY OR TO INDIVIDUALS OR BUSINESS ENTITIES. IN THOSE CASES, WE ENTER INTO APPROPRIATE CONTRACTUAL AGREEMENTS REQUIRING THE GRANTEE TO ACCOMPLISH CHARITABLE WORK OF DIRECT BENEFIT TO THE PUBLIC AND SPECIFICALLY DESCRIBED IN THE STATEMENT OF WORK. THE GRANT AGREEMENTS WE USE INCLUDE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE GRANTEE TO REPORT ON USE OF THE FUNDS. IN ADDITION TO THE ACTIVITIES REPORTED IN PART I, AGENTS OF THE FOUNDATION ATTEND AND SPEAK AT A VARIETY OF CONFERENCES AND EVENTS, SOME OF WHICH TAKE PLACE OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES. THE FOUNDATION'S ACCOUNTING SYSTEMS DO NOT SEPARATELY TRACK EXPENSES FOR THESE OCCASIONAL ACTIVITIES BY REGION.
