V 4The Community Foundation helps individuals, families and businesses find the best way to make charitable gifts that support causes or organizations they care about. The goal is to develop a charitable giving strategy that fulfills their personal objectives and makes the most sense financially. The Foundation makes grants from the endowment funds in support of its mission to promote philanthropy and improve the quality of life for the residents of Berks County.
X 2The Foundation accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with the Income Taxes Topic ASC 740, formerly issued as FASB Interpretation No.48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - An Interpretation of FASB 109. ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for financial statements recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and also provides guidance on various matters such as derecognition, interest, penalties and disclosures required. The Foundation recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to the unrecognized tax benefits in tax expense.

IThe Foundation maintains a fund known as the Metropolitan Edison Company Sustainable Energy Fund. Metropolitan Edison Company, a First Energy Company was a party in restructuring proceedings overseen and approved by the Pennsylvania Public Utilities Commission PUC. A portion of the proceeds from this settlement were used to establish this fund. The Foundation does not believe the fund meets the criteria of a donor advised fund. The fund is governed by PUC-approved bylaws that require an advisory board of no fewer than seven and no more than nine members, which must include one member from each of the seven groups with interests and expertise in sustainable energy, including one representative of First Energy. The remaining positions may be filled with representatives of Pennsylvania ratepayers and stakeholders interested in Pennsylvanias electric industry. Nomination and election procedures are pursuant to order of the PUC and may be amended only by further order of the PUC. Pursuant to these procedures, the Foundation controls selection of members, within the parameters approved by the PUC. It is the Foundations understanding that First Energys one position on the seven to nine member board is a result of the PUC-approved settlement and is based on industry expertise, as is the case with all other advisory boards.

Form And Line ReferenceFormAndLineReferenceDescExplanationExplanationTxt
Form 990, Part VI, Line 11bThe Foundations Audit Committees primary function is to assist the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities relating to monitoring the quality, reliability and integrity of the external financial reporting process. This includes the audited financial statements as well as the IRS Form 990. The Audit Committee reviews both documents and will make a recommendation to the Board for approval. The Board is provided copies of the consolidated financial statements and Form 990 for review before approval.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 12cAnnually all board members, committee members, and staff are required to complete a conflict of interest form. Completed forms are submitted to the Governance Committee. One of the Governance Committees roles is to annually review the conflict of interest forms submitted and make any necessary disclosures if a conflict is noted.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 15aThe compensation of the President of the Community Foundation is reviewed and recommended annually by the Executive Committee of the Board. The committee meets in executive session without staff present. They review the established performance objectives and results of the President. In addition, the committee reviews industry compensation data from Forms 990 of peer group entites. It also reviews comparable local data provided periodically by a regional human resources consulting firm. After reviewing that material, the Executive Committee establishes a compensation level that is designed to recognize current market conditions and performance in the position. This information is then reviewed in executive session with the board, which votes upon compensation.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 19The Foundation has an open book policy of disclosure of information to the public. All board members, committee members and staff are aware of the Foundations conflict of interest policy as they are required to annually read the policy and complete a questionnaire as to any conflicts they may have. These forms are reviewed by the Foundations Governance Committee and, if necessary, disclosure of any noted conflict is made to the board, committee, staff and disclosed in the Foundations audited financial statements. Governing documents are made available to anyone who asks for them. All fund agreements reference the governing documents and are provided to anyone who requests a copy. Audited financial statements and Form 990 are available to the public immediately after they are completed on the Foundations website. Form 1023 is available upon request.
