CHARITABLE GIFT ANNUITY ASSET/LIABILITY	SCHEDULE D, PART X, LINE 1 The Foundations charitable gift annuity represents a gift which was given to the Foundation with the condition that a specified payment be made to an income beneficiary over the donors life. A liability is established based on the present value of the payments to be made. This liability is recalculated annually, based on changes in the life expectancy assumptions and payments made. Changes in the liability are recorded as an increase or decrease to current years revenue. To collateralize the annuity obligation, the Foundation entered into an annuity contract with an insurance company at terms similar to the assumptions used for the annuity obligation. AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2015 THE VALUE OF THE ANNUITY CONTRACT RECEIVABLE WAS $180,369 AND THE CHARITABLE GIFT ANNUITY LIABILITY WAS $165,025.
