Part X : FIN48 Footnote	The Foundation is exempt from federal income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the United States Internal Revenue Code. US GAAP requires the Foundation to evaluate tax positions taken by the Foundation and recognize a tax liability (or asset) if the Foundation has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the IRS. The Foundation has analyzed the tax positions taken and has concluded that as of June 30, 2024 and 2023, there are no significant uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability (or asset) or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements.

Form And Line Reference	Grantmaker's Description of How Grants are Used	FormAndLineReferenceDesc
Explanation	Pre-Award Federal agencies funding a project, want to know at the beginning of the project about the planned use of subrecipients. It is crucial that expenditures for subrecipients are classified correctly in budgets and project plans and are approved by the funder before work begins. The risk of the subrecipient's noncompliance with federal rules and grant conditions must be evaluated prior to contracting with the entity. All potential subrecipients must also be verified against the Governments Excluded Parties List (EPL) (www.sam.gov; see also http://exclusions.oig.hhs.gov/Default.aspx). Procurement staff is to compare the names of each subrecipient against the EPL and print out any results of the search. Evidence of the search of the EPL must be maintained in the financial system of record. If the subrecipient shows a record of suspension or debarment in the EPL, Project Staff must not proceed with that subrecipient and must alert the Compliance department. WGBH is prohibited from using any supplier/service provider on the EPL, and any work then in progress with a subrecipient on the EPL must be terminated immediately.Post-Contract Monitoring Once the contract has been signed and work has commenced, WGBH and the project team are responsible for monitoring the performance of the subrecipient. Subrecipient monitoring occurs in two forms:Performance Monitoring This involves the project team ensuring that the subrecipient is meeting the performance requirements of the contract and award, including timeliness, scope and results. This monitoring is generally performed by the project team and can be accomplished through meetings, conversations or other methods. Desk reviews are a monitoring procedure used to evaluate the subrecipients compliance with the terms of the project/award and the appropriateness of the subrecipients administration of the project. All performance monitoring activities should be documented. If issues are identified, the related follow-up or corrective action taken should also be documented.Compliance Monitoring WGBH is also responsible for monitoring the subrecipients compliance with applicable laws and regulations. This can be accomplished in multiple ways. Annually, WGBH will send a questionnaire to all known subrecipients requesting a copy of their most recent Single Audit report and other information. Responses will be sent back to WGBHs Compliance department, which will review the results and follow up on any findings identified. All responses will be verified against the U.S. Federal Audit Clearinghouse website. If issues are identified that impact a particular project, that project team will be notified. Compliance department will then work with the subrecipient and the project to resolve the issues noted. A final determination on the issue (including references, if applicable) will be provided to the subrecipient within six months of issue identification and any corrective action required of the subrecipients must be completed as soon as possible.

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 2	Susan Goldberg, Shane Miner and James Levy are both officers of WGBH Educational Foundation and trustees of Public Media Distribution Company (PBSd).
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b	The Form 990 was prepared by the organization's management and reviewed in detail by tax advisors from a national accounting firm. The Chief Financial Officer reviewed Form 990 prior to it being presented to the audit committee. The audit committee reviewed the form 990 and approved for submission to the Internal Revenue Service. Prior to the final form being electronically submitted to the Internal Revenue Service, a copy was provided to all members of the board of trustees.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c	The organization maintains a written conflict of interest policy which is updated and disseminated to all employees and trustees annually. The Chief Compliance Officer of the organization requires that each key employee, officer and trustee complete a conflict of interest disclosure form annually and reviews them. In connection with any actual or possible conflict of interest, an interested person must disclose the existence of the interest and be given the opportunity to disclose all material facts describing the nature of the affiliation, and indicating whether he or she has or may have a conflict of interest involving any financial transaction of WGBH. In the event there is a change in the information submitted in the disclosure statement, the person submitting it is to promptly submit written notification of the change. At the conclusion of the fiscal year prior to the submission of the Form 990, a governing body member is required to disclose any conflicts of interest that may have existed during the prior fiscal year using the provided questionnaire. All transactions disclosed by trustees or officers as related-party transactions shall be reviewed by the audit committee of the board of trustees, provided that only those members of the committee who have no involvement with any related-party transactions involving the Foundation ("Independent Trustees") shall participate in such review. In the case of a transaction that is covered, the audit committee shall determine whether, all factors considered, the transaction is fair and reasonable to, and is in the best interest of the Foundation. Approval of a related-party transaction shall require a majority vote of the Independent Trustees at a meeting at which there is a quorum determined solely with regard to Independent Trustees.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15a	The organization's Compensation Committee of the Board of Trustees is an independent committee, the members of which each year verify that they do not have any conflicts of interest with respect to the compensation paid to the Chief Executive Officer and top management employees. This committee reviewed the confidential feedback from the direct reports that relate to the Chief Executive Officer's annual goals and performance, and determined the Chief Executive Officer's compensation package. The committee also reviewed and approved the compensation package for all executive leaders that was prepared by the CEO and COO. The committee utilized third party data and surveyed the trustees using a questionnaire to benchmark comparable compensation packages for the CEO and other key executive roles in functionally comparable positions and similar sized organizations. The compensation review is an annual process and is documented each year in the compensation committee minutes, in which the deliberation and decisions regarding the compensation arrangements for the CEO and the executive leadership team are recorded. The compensation committee reports on its meetings and actions to the full board of trustees or the executive committee of the board.
