Part V, Line 4:The Cradle Foundation's endowment funds are intended for the support of general operations, the Nursery, and a post-adoption counselor.
Part X, Line 2:The Cradle, the Foundation, and CAP have received determination letters from the Internal Revenue Service indicating they are tax-exempt organizations as provided in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and are exempt from federal and state income taxes on income related to its exempt purpose. The Organizations follow the accounting standard on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, which 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 this guidance, the Organizations 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 Organizations, and various positions related to the potential sources of unrelated business taxable income. There were no unrecognized tax benefits identified or recorded as liabilities as of and for the year ended September 30, 2016. The Organizations file Form 990 in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and in the State of Illinois. The Organizations are generally no longer subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for years before fiscal 2013.
