In accordance with FASB ASC 958-605-05 assets received from an organization that names itself or its affiliate as the beneficiary of the funds the Foundation records as liabilities rather than as contributions, even if variance power is explicitly stated in the gift agreement. Assets received and net Investment earnings are recorded as increases to agency endowment liabilities; fund distributions and fees are recorded as decreases to liabilities.Permanent and quasi-endowments provide long-term support through charitable grants to non-profit organizations and scholarships throughout Alaska. Term endowments provide grants to scholarships and non-profit organizations with the intent of expending the endowment over the life of the project(s). Part X : FIN48 Footnote The Foundation is exempt from federal income taxes under Section 501 (c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Therefore, the accompanying statements do not reflect a provision for income taxes. Although the Foundation is exempt from federal income taxes, any income derived from unrelated business activities is subject to the requirement of filing U.S. Federal Income Tax Form 990-T and a tax liability may be determined on these activities. The Foundation classifies all interest and penalties related to tax contingencies as income tax expense. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013 there were no uncertain tax positions, or unrecognized tax benefits for which management believes it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of tax contingencies will significantly increase or decrease within 12 months of the reporting date. The Foundation files tax returns in the US Federal Jurisdiction and the State of Alaska. As of 2014, the tax years that remain subject to examination begins in 2011.
