Part V, Line 4:ELPC maintains board-designated funds for long-term use. The funds are available as needed to allow ELPC to continue to fulfill its exempt purpose, and have recently been used to support programmatic work. In accordance with UPMIFA, the Center considers the following factors in making a determination to appropriate or accumulate earnings on donor-restricted endowment funds: - The duration and preservation of the fund - The purpose of the Center and the donor-restricted endowment fund - General economic conditions - The possible effect of inflation and deflation - The expected total return from income and the appreciation of investments - Other resources of the Center - The investment policies of the Center
Part X, Line 2:The Center follows the accounting standard on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, which addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under this guidance, the Center may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. Examples of tax positions include the tax-exempt status of the Center and various positions related to the potential sources of unrelated business taxable income. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. There were no unrecognized tax benefits identified or recorded as liabilities for the financial reporting period projected in these consolidated financial statements. The Center files Forms 990 in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and the State of Illinois.
