For tax positions not meeting the "more likely than not" test, no tax benefit is recorded. UWCF is no longer subject to examination by taxing authorities for years before June 30, 2013. UWCF does not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to significantly change in the next 12 months. UWCF recognizes interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. UWCF did not have any amount accrued for interest and penalties at June 30, 2016 or 2015, respectively.

Member agencies of the United Way of Central FL submit an annual application to the Community impact department for review. This application proves ongoing eligibility of the agency and its programs. For non-member agencies of the United Way of Central FL, an application packet is mailed and eligibility for that agency to receive designated funds is determined. Non-member applications are good for three years. Each year more than 100 volunteers on 15 teams visit program sites, review previous investments, program goals and outcomes, and make recommendations about the most effective way to meet critical needs. The process includes: 1. An on-line application process that includes explanation of the proposed use, historic and anticipated results from use of the funding. Applications include agency and program budgets, program profile, demographics, specific outcomes and related indicators that measure results. Social conditions identify the need for the service in the community. A success story provides an example of a client whose life was impacted by the service. 2. Financial review of the organization to gain a level of assurance that the organization follows sound policies. Partner programs submit budgets. 3. A copy of the organization's 990 and audit are also required. 4. Verification of compliance with the provisions of the Patriot act are included in the application. 5. Verification of current status as an IRS code section 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization. Partner programs are required to provide UWCF with 6 month progress reports that show how the funding has been utilized as well as a final report.
