ExplanationThe original endowment of $125,000 must be maintained in perpetuity with the remaining portion of the fund to be classified as net assets with donor restrictions until the amounts are appropriated for expenditure in a manner consistent with the Texas Uniform Prudent Management of Institutional Funds Act. The American Civil Liberties Union Foundation and its separately incorporated affiliate foundations (including the ACLU Foundation of Texas) are cooperatively raising and sharing in a Trust for the Bill of Rights Endowment Fund. Endowment gifts are shared between the American Civil Liberties Union Foundation and the affiliate foundations. While these endowment gifts are held by the American Civil Liberties Union Foundation in a single independent account, financial data on each foundation's shares is allocated and reported separately for each affiliate. For tax purposes, the American Civil Liberties Union Foundation does not meet the criteria to be considered a related organization with respect to the ACLU Foundation of Texas.ExplanationTxt
