Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 FIN 48 (ASC 740) footnote UWCF has received determination of tax exempt status from the Internal Revenue Service under Code Section 501(c)(3) and, consequently, the earnings of UWCF are not taxed. A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is "more likely than not" that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the "more likely than not" test, no tax benefit is recorded. UWCF does not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to significantly change in the next 12 months. UWCF recognizes interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. UWCF did not have any amount accrued for interest and penalties at June 30, 2020 or 2019.

Member agencies of the United Way of Central FL submit an annual application to the Community Impact department for review. This application proves ongoing eligibility of the agency and its programs. For non-member agencies of the United Way of Central FL, an application packet is mailed and eligibility for that agency to receive designated funds is determined. Non-member applications are good for three years. Each year more than 100 volunteers on 17 teams visit program sites, review previous investments, program goals and outcomes, and make recommendations about the most effective way to meet critical needs. The process includes: 1. An on-line application process that includes explanation of the proposed use, historic and anticipated results from use of the funding. Applications include agency and program budgets, program profile, demographics, specific outcomes and related indicators that measure results. Social conditions identify the need for the service in the community. A success story provides an example of a client whose life was impacted by the service. 2. Financial review of the organization to gain a level of assurance that the organization follows sound policies. Partner programs submit budgets. 3. A copy of the organization's 990 and audit are also required. 4. Verification of compliance with the provisions of the Patriot act are included in the application. 5. Verification of current status as an IRS code section 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization. 6. Community Investment Teams, composed of trained volunteers and staff, conduct site visits to meet the applicant's CEO, Board member(s), program staff and clients served. Teams monitor staff credentials and impact data collection to verify reliability. Partner programs are required to provide UWCF with 6 month progress reports that show how the funding has been utilized as well as a final report.

Directors with conflicts abstain from voting on related issues as noted in the minutes of the meeting. Each fiscal year, a completed questionnaire is also sent to Directors to disclose family and business relationships and establish whether there might be any relationships or business transactions to report or disclose in the form 990 or that affect independence. The responses are reviewed, maintained, and summarized by the administrative assistant to the President. Form 990, Part VI, Line 15a Process to establish compensation of top management official UWCF adopted an executive compensation program policy guide in June 2009 for performance and compensation of the CEO, CFO and other members of the leadership team. UWCF will strive to provide executive salaries and total compensation levels that are competitive with the marketplace and that are internally equitable. UWCF will reward executive performance based on predetermined goals and objectives supportive of the mission and business objective. Finally, UWCF will strive to provide competitive, affordable, and fair executive perquisites and executive benefits. Enforcement and administrative responsibilities for the program involving the CEO and CFO rests with the executive committee. Those same responsibilities rest with the CEO for all other members of the leadership team. The Executive Committee also serves as the Compensation Committee that meets annually to review the President's performance and compensation. They analyze and compare salaries and benefits of similar size United Ways. Decisions made by the Executive Committee are documented in the employee's file. In the determination of compensation, comparability data provided by United Way Worldwide is used to ensure reasonableness.
