Part IV, Line 2b:The organization maintains funds that belong to a handful of clients. We receive payments on the clients behalf (eg SSDI) and pay their bills; rent, utilities, etc.
Part V, Line 4:There are two endowment funds. One is to fund educational scholarships. The other is for emergency assitance to individuals.Description of Intended Use of Endowment Funds:
Part X:The Arks adoption of the Income Tax Topic regarding uncertain tax positions of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAPUSA) on July 1, 2009 had no effect on its financial position as management believes The Ark has no material unrecognized income tax benefits, including any potential risk of loss of its not-for-profit tax status. The Ark would account for any potential interest or penalties related to possible future liabilities for unrecognized income tax benefits as income tax expense. The Ark is no longer subject to examination by federal, state or local tax authorities for periods before 2007.
