Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 4In October of 2018, the Organization updated its bylaws to indicate that no one employed by the Organization may serve as a board member of the Organization.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11bThe Organization's top management official and top financial official each review the Form 990 prior to its filing with the IRS. A copy of the final Form 990 is also provided to the voting members of the Organization's governing body prior to its filing with the IRS.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12cThe Organization's conflict of interest policy is distributed to each member of the Organization's governing body, its officers and its key employees on an annual basis. Each such individual provides an annual disclosure statement indicating that they have received, read, understood and agreed to comply with the policy, certifying that: (1) they have no relationships or interests that present a conflict of interest, (2) they have one or more conflicts of interest that have been fully disclosed as required by the policy and have been properly administered in conformity with the policy, or (3) they have previously undisclosed conflicts of interest and disclosing the details of such conflicts. Any disclosure statements with previously undisclosed conflicts of interest are forwarded to appropriate Organization officials to take appropriate actions as required by the policy.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15The Organization has adopted an executive compensation-setting policy applicable to all of the Organization's key executives, including the Organization's CEO, officers and key employees. Under the policy, an independent committee of the Board of Directors annually reviews and approves the compensation levels of all individuals subject to the policy. The deliberations and decisions of the committee are contemporaneously substantiated. The committee utilizes comparability data in its deliberations; updated comparability data is generally obtained every two years.
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19The Organization's audited financial statements are made available to the public on the Organization's website: www.upward.org. The Organization provides, upon request, copies of its Articles of Incorporation, bylaws, and conflict of interest policy.
Form 990, Part VIII, Line 10cProgram sales revenue is reported net of cost of goods sold to inform the Form 990 reader of the expenses directly related to the activity. Consequently, both revenue on Part VIII and program expenses on Part IX are understated in comparison to the audited financial statements to reflect this reporting. If cost of goods sold were removed from Part VIII, Line 10b, both gross revenue and program expenses would increase by $5,125,831. Additionally, the percentage of program expenses to total expenses reported on Part IX, Line 25 would be 79.51%
Form 990, Part XII, Line 2c:The Organization's Board of Directors, or a committee thereof, assumes responsibility for the oversight of the audit of its financial statements and the selection of an independent accountant. This process has not changed from the prior year.

Form And Line ReferenceFormAndLineReferenceDescExplanationExplanationTxt
Schedule R, Part II:South Carolina Christian Foundation (SCCF) is considered a related organization that is directly controlled (as those terms are defined for purposes of Schedule R reporting) by Upward Unlimited due to the fact that a majority of the members of the board of directors of SCCF also serve as officers, directors, or employees of Upward Unlimited. Upward Unlimited does not have the authority to appoint a majority of the members of the board of directors of SCCF. In addition, SCCF is not considered to be controlled by Upward Unlimited for financial reporting purposes under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).
Schedule R, Part II:During a prior year, the Organization obtained financing to partially fund the construction and outfitting of the Upward Star Center sports complex. The financing provided net proceeds of approximately $15,000,000 to Upward Star Center, LLC. In conjunction with the financing, Upward Unlimited Foundation advanced a $10,203,000 "Leverage Loan" to Upward Spartanburg Investment Fund, LLC ("the Fund"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of SunTrust Community Capital, LLC ("STCC") to facilitate the provision of New Markets Tax Credit ("NMTC") equity to subsidize the Upward Star Center sports complex construction and outfitting. Because the financing was obtained pursuant to an NMTC arrangement, the Star Center expects that it will not be required to repay a portion of the financing proceeds. This expectation is based on the assumption that STCC may voluntarily elect to sell its ownership interest in the Fund to the Foundation for $1,000 at the end of the 7-year NMTC compliance period via a put/call agreement entered into by STCC and the Foundation at NMTC closing. In conjunction with STCC's expected exercise of the "put", the Foundation thus expects it would acquire full (indirect or direct) ownership of the $10,203,000 of NMTC loans to the Star Center. If the Foundation does so, management estimates as of September 30, 2020, that income in the form of a noncash contribution equal to the difference between the $15,000,000 NMTC loans and the $10,203,000 Leverage Loan (approximately $4,797,000) will be recognized in a future period if and when the anticipated transaction described above between STCC and the Foundation occurs. The Foundation and the Star Center could then make favorable arrangements between the entities regarding the loans going forward. In connection with the financing arrangement described above, the Star Center entered into various loans. Each of the loans is collateralized as described in a certain credit agreement and other rights as described in the loan documents. The credit agreement contains certain financial covenants, the most restrictive of which requires Upward and the Foundation, on a combined basis, to maintain a minimum debt service coverage ratio and a minimum total liquidity ratio, as those terms are described in the credit agreement. Furthermore, Upward and certain of its subsidiaries are unconditional guarantors for each of the loans. The annual interest rate on each of the loans is 2.7977%, with interest payable quarterly on the 5th day of each September, December, March, and June until the loans are paid. Commencing on January 23, 2022, principal payments in amounts further described in the loan documents are required. All unpaid principal and interest is due on January 23, 2045. The loans cannot be prepaid in full or in part until after the seventh anniversary of the closing date of the loans (January 2022), at which time prepayment in full or in part may be made.
