would be retained and invested, that there would be no withdrawal of capital except upon approval of the Board, and that the earnings from the endowment's investments may be used upon the Board's approval for the Foundation's operations. In 1992, the Board established the endowed scholarship funds, specifying that the capital of the endowment would be retained and invested and that the earnings from the endowment's investments would be used to provide scholarships through the Foundation's programs. In 1996, the Board of Directors established the Spike Lee Youth Motivation Achievement Award Fund and resolved that the fund will be used to support an annual cash award to a Foundation scholar with the most outstanding community service involvement. In 2001, The Board agreed to segregate the commemorative coin surcharge income within the permanent endowment fund. Uncertain Tax Positions U.S. GAAP requires management to evaluate uncertain tax positions taken by the Foundation. The financial statement effects of a tax position are recognized when the position is more-likely-than-not, based on the technical merits, to be sustained upon examination by the Internal Revenue Service. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Foundation and has concluded that as of June 30, 2015, there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken. The Foundation has recognized no interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions. The Foundation is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. Management believes it is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2012.
