Part IV, Line 2b:On behalf of fifty-four orthopaedic organizations, the Foundation accepts contributions for which it performs recordkeeping and provides grants as requested by those organizations.
Part V, Line 4:The endowment funds are invested in a well-diversified portfolio and disbursements are made as outlined in an endowment spending policy to support the Foundation's mission. However, as of 2015, OREF has changed its business model and focuses solely on funding orthopaedic research. As part of this change, OREF no longer holds donated funds for other orthopaedic specialty, geographic, and other societies. OREF has distributed to these societies the restricted monies that have been given to OREF and donor-directed to benefit these societies. This enables the societies to invest the funds in a manner consistent with their own goals.
Part X, Line 2:The Foundation, an Illinois nonprofit corporation, is exempt from income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and applicable state law, except for taxes pertaining to unrelated business income, if any. The Foundation follows 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 the guidance, the Foundation may recognize the tax benefits 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 Foundation and various positions related to potential sources of unrelated business taxable income. As of December 31, 2015, there were no unrecognized tax benefits identified or recorded as liabilities. The Foundation files Form 990 in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and the State of Illinois. The Foundation is no longer subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for years before 2012.
Part XI, Line 2d - Other Adjustments:Change in Cash Surrender Value of Life Insurance Policies 3,103. Change in Value of Charitable Remainder Trusts -20,155.
Part XII, Line 2d - Other Adjustments:Orthopaedic Partner Endowment Distribution 7,227,992.

ExplanationThe Research Grants Committee is responsible for allocating research funding to advance research in the specialty of orthopaedics and is empowered to establish criteria for the allocation and distribution of philanthropic funds to advance research in the specialty of orthopaedics, implement and conduct an independent peer review process to select research funding recipients, prepare and distribute the necessary promotional information and application forms for research grants and awards and to accept and allocate or decline to allocate, at its sole and absolute discretion, grants and awards for research. One-year grants receive 50% of the funds to start, then 40% after a six-month financial report is received. A final scientific and lay report is required within 60 days after the grant ends, and a final financial report. Once Orthopaedic Research and Education Foundation has all reports, the final 10% of the funds are released. One-time award/educational grant/lectureship grants receive full payment after they are approved. Documentation is in the file for lectureships, educational programs, and awards. Two-or three year grants are paid and spread over the term of the grant. The 10% withheld is the same until all reports are received. These multi-year grants submit annual scientific progress reports which are then reviewed by the original peer review committee member.ExplanationTxt
