Part IV, Line 2b:Funds are received and disbursed by PACER Center for the Mel Goldberg Medical and Legal Advocacy Fund. Disbursements are made as directed by the Fund.
Part V, Line 4:The intention for PACER Center's endowment fund is to have a source of permanent, predictable funds, whose income is used to supplement other traditional income from events and donations, in order to sustain core programs: parent training, simon technology center, count me in puppet shows and bullying prevention.
Part X, Line 2:The accounting standard on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under that guidance, the Organization may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. Examples of tax positions include the tax-exempt status of the Organization and various positions related to the potential sources of unrelated business taxable income (UBIT). The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. There were no unrecognized tax benefits identified or recorded as liabilities for the years ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 .
