| PART V, LINE 4: | WQED'S ENDOWMENT CONSISTS OF VARIOUS INVESTMENT FUNDS ESTABLISHED PRIMARILY FOR SUPPORT OF THE ORGANIZATION'S MISSION. ITS ENDOWMENT INCLUDES DONOR-RESTRICTED ENDOWMENT FUNDS AND BOARD-DESIGNATED QUASI-ENDOWMENT FUNDS. AS REQUIRED BY GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES, NET ASSETS ASSOCIATED WITH ENDOWMENT FUNDS, INCLUDING FUNDS DESIGNATED BY WQED TO FUNCTION AS ENDOWMENTS, ARE CLASSIFIED AND REPORTED BASED ON THE EXISTENCE OR ABSENCE OF DONOR-IMPOSED RESTRICTIONS. THE TRUSTEES OF WQED HAVE ELECTED TO BE GOVERNED BY THE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA'S ACT 141 (ACT 141). ACT 141 IS A TOTAL RETURN POLICY THAT ALLOWS A NONPROFIT TO CHOOSE TO TREAT A PERCENTAGE OF THE AVERAGE MARKET VALUE OF THE ENDOWMENT'S PERMANENTLY RESTRICTED INVESTMENTS AS INCOME EACH YEAR. HOWEVER, THE LONG-TERM PRESERVATION OF THE REAL VALUE OF THE ASSETS MUST BE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION WHEN THE BOARD ELECTS THE AMOUNT. ON AN ANNUAL BASIS, THE TRUSTEES OF THE BOARD, IN WRITING, MUST ELECT A SPENDING RATE OF BETWEEN 2% AND 7%. IN ACCORDANCE WITH ACT 141, WQED ANNUALLY TRANSFERS BETWEEN 4% AND 7% OF THE PREVIOUS 12 QUARTERS' MARKET VALUE AVERAGE OF THE PERMANENTLY RESTRICTED ENDOWMENT FUND. THIS PERCENTAGE IS APPLIED TO A 12-QUARTER AVERAGE MARKET VALUE OF THE INVESTMENTS AT JUNE 30 OF THE PREVIOUS YEAR. WQED CLASSIFIES AS PERMANENTLY RESTRICTED NET ASSETS THE ORIGINAL VALUE OF GIFTS DONATED TO THE PERMANENT ENDOWMENT. IN ACCORDANCE WITH ACT 141, WQED HAS ADOPTED A WRITTEN INVESTMENT POLICY, OF WHICH A SECTION SPECIFICALLY RELATES TO THE ENDOWMENT FUND. AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2016, WQED HAD NET BORROWINGS OF $1,917,625 FROM THE PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT SEED FUND, WHICH WAS ESTABLISHED AS A REVOLVING PRODUCTION FUND FROM WHICH FUNDS COULD BE BORROWED AND REPAID TO COMPLETE THE PRODUCTION OF PROGRAMS. ORIGINAL BORROWINGS, DATING FROM 1993 AND 1996, WERE $4,500,000 AND HAVE BEEN REDUCED BY TRANSFERS FROM OPERATING FUNDS AND RELEASES OF DONOR RESTRICTIONS, AND WAS CLASSIFIED AGAINST THE UNRESTRICTED BOARD DESIGNATED AMOUNTS. IN 2017, WQED REPAID THESE BORROWINGS IN FULL. THE REPAYMENT OF THE BORROWING IS REPORTED IN PART V, LINE 1B, CONTRIBUTIONS. |
