Part V, Line 4: Intended uses of the endowment fund.

The Foundation in conjunction with its attorney and trustees reviewed two endowmenttrusts and determined they should be reclassified from permanently restricted tounrestricted net assets. As a result, permanently restricted net assets as of August 31,2015 were reduced by $698,903, and unrestricted net assets increased by the sameamount to conform to the current year's presentation. The reclassifications had noimpact on previously reported change in net assets.

Part X : FIN48 Footnote

The Foundation is exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Foundation is not a private foundation under Section 509(a)(2). Income from certain activities not directly related to the Foundations taxexempt purposes is subject to taxation as unrelated business income. The Foundation has adopted the guidance issued by FASB ASC 740 on accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. The adoption of this guidance had no effect on the Foundations financial position. Management believes the Foundation has nomaterial unrecognized income tax liabilities or uncertain tax positions, including any potential loss of its tax exempt status. The Foundation has no ongoing federal, state or local tax audits; however, the Foundations tax returns for the previous three fiscal years remain open to examination.
