Part X, Line 2: NAACP LDF qualifies as a charitable organization as defined by IRC Section 501(c)(3) and, accordingly, is exempt from federal income tax under IRC Section 501(a). Additionally, since it is publicly supported, contributions qualify for the maximum charitable contribution deduction under the IRC. NAACP LDF is also exempt from state and local income taxes. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken by this entity and has concluded that as of June 30, 2018, there were no uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken. Accordingly, no interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions have been accrued in the accompanying combined financial statements. NAACP LDF is subject to audit by taxing jurisdictions; however, no audits for any tax periods are currently in progress. Management believes that the entity is no longer subject to income tax examinations by either the Federal or New York State tax for years ended on or prior to June 30, 2015.

Copies are then sent to Mitchell & Titus LLP for their review and comments. Once this is done, the Board of Directors receives a copy of the 990. The final draft is then filed. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c The Conflict of Interest Policy provides that the Board members and Officers complete a questionnaire and forward the completed document to the Office of the Chief Operating Officer(COO). The COO reviews the completed questionnaires for completeness, responsiveness and potential conflicts of interest. The COO seeks the advice and counsel of the General Counsel with respect to further steps necessary to apprise the Board of potential conflicts of interest appearing on the questionnaires. In the event of recognized conflicts of interest, the President contacts the involved board member to assure his or her compliance with recusal requirements prior to any action affected by such conflict of interest. The LDF By-laws reserve authority for the Board to review the questionnaires annually. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15a LDF By-laws permit payment of reasonable compensation for services rendered by officers and employees of the corporation. Pursuant to this authority, the Board created a Compensation Committee with the express purpose to review, on behalf of the Board, the compensation of the President & Director-Counsel (CEO). The Compensation Committee retained independent experts to prepare a formal study and recommendation of the reasonableness of the President's compensation. The report was received by the Committee and a determination was made that the study supported the reasonableness of the President's compensation. The Compensation Committee reported the results of the study and its determination to the Board in an executive session held in late 2012, with a quorum present. After discussion and consensus reached, the Board concurred with the recommendation and took informal action to express its favorable opinion of the compensation, without a vote. A copy of the independent study was mailed to all board members. Since the study has been completed the President and Director-Counsel has not received an increase. Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 18 NAACP Legal Defense & Educational Fund, Inc. makes the 990 available on its website under the "About Us" tab. Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19 LDF does not make its governance documents, conflict of interest policy and financial statements readily available upon request, but will also do so based upon a discretionary determination by its CFO and/or General Counsel of the requesting individual's or entity's "need to know" such information. For example, upon request, financial statements are routinely made available to vendors, potential funders and entities with which LDF will have common business and/or public interest relationships requiring demonstration of the organization's sound fiscal status. Form 990, Part XI, line 9: Charges for Pension Benefit other than net periodic pension cost 952730. Form 990, Part XII, Line 2c: The process has not changed from prior years.
