Part V, Line 4:To provide dollars to meet the mission and goals of The Pert Foundation.
Part X, Line 2:The Trust and its affiliates received tax determination letters from the Internal Revenue Service indicating that they are tax-exempt organizations under Section 5501 (c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and, except for taxes pertaining to unrelated business income, are exempt from federal and state income taxes. No provision has been made for income taxes in the accompanying consolidated financial statements as The Trust and its affiliates have no significant unrelated business income. The Trust and its affiliates account for uncertain tax position in accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (included in FASB ASC Subtopic 740-10, Income Taxes Overall). There is no impact on the consolidated financial statements as a result of this pronouncement as the Trust and affiliates have no significant uncertain tax positions. On December 22, 2017, the President signed into law H.R. 1, originally known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The new law includes several provisions that result in substantial changes to the tax treatment of tax-exempt organizations and their donors. The Trust and affiliates have reviewed these provisions and the potential impact and concluded the enactment of H.R. 1 will not have a material effect on the operations of the organization.
