DescMemberships & Educational Resources: See Schedule O for Program Service descriptionAPA is an education not-for-profit and many of our educational services are provided free of charge. APA membership is voluntary and open to any individual interested in the field of planning. Our monthly magazine focuses on information about trends, current planning practices, new approaches, reviews of books, reports, and events in both private and public sectors. The Journal of the American Planning Association is published quarterly to report on research, new thoughts, and current literature. It is edited independently through a university- based editorial team and has a worldwide subscription list. The Planning & Environmental Law periodical is published quarterly and distills the latest court decisions and legislation regarding planning and environmental law. Every issue contains detailed abstracts of the most important new state and federal court decisions. The Zoning Practice periodical is published quarterly and helps guide those who write and administer development codes; monitors all the latest trends in local land-use controls; and brings the reader current news and ordinance excerpts.Each quarter APA's Planning Advisory Service (PAS) publishes a new PAS report providing authoritative guidance on current issues and innovative practices. APA celebrates excellence in planning through our Great Places in America program. Annually, APA recognizes a total of 30 great neighborhoods, streets, and public spaces of exceptional character, quality, and planning. The neighborhoods, streets, and public spaces are suggested by residents or visitors. APA's Planners Press publishes titles of interest to practitioners, researchers, and the general public, with the aim of stimulating readers, creating an engaged citizenry, and influencing policy development - all by telling the many stories of planning. Select titles are produced in both paper and digital formats.APA's Planners Book Service distributes Planners Press books and Planning Advisory Service reports, all tailored to planners' needs, interests, jobs, and careers. Titles are sold to consumers, North American bookstores and online retailers through National Book Network. Outside of North America, Planners Press books and some PAS Reports are available through Taylor & Francis.The National Planning Conference brings planners, planning commissioners, elected officials, educators, allied professionals, students and engaged citizens together in an assembly of sessions, workshops, and networking opportunities to gain knowledge of current community challenges and initiatives in the field of planning. The American Institute of Certified Planners' (AICP) Certification Maintenance program helps certified planners gain the knowledge and skills they need to remain current in the practice of planning. Community Planning Assistance Teams (CPAT) are a key AICP initiative. Through this program, a multidisciplinary team of expert planning professionals is paired with community members, key stakeholders, and relevant decision makers in a place-based initiative to foster community education, engagement, and empowerment.APA also produces audio conferences, webinars, training workshops, streaming videos and audio recordings to promote education about communities and planning.Desc

Part V, Line 4:Permanently restricted endowments consist of the Judith McManus Price Fund, an endowment whereby the Association cannot spend the principal. Description of the Intended Uses of the APA Foundation. Proceeds are used for the Planning Foundation of American Planning Association for philanthropic activities, scholarships, hazard mitigation, post disaster planning and community equity programs.
Part X, Line 2:The Association is exempt from income taxes under the provisions of Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and applicable state law. The accounting standard on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes 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 this guidance, the Association may recognize the tax benefit 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 Association and various positions related to the potential sources of unrelated business taxable income (UBIT). The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. There were no unrecognized tax benefits identified or recorded as liabilities for the reporting periods presented in the financial statements. The Association files Form 990 and Form 990-T in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and the State of Illinois. The Association is generally no longer subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for tax years before 2011.
