| Medium Explanation | The Trust was established under the Will of Elisha V. Ashton, who died in 1884. Under the provisions of the Will, the Trustees are required to distribute the income of the Trust to a specific group of recipients, some of which are organizations that are not public charities described in sections 509(a)(1) or 509(a)(2) of the Code.Because of the transitional rule of Treasury Regulations 53.4945-5(f)(2)(ii), these distributions are not taxable expenditures. However, out of an abundance of caution and to confirm that all distributions are made exclusively for charitable purposes, the Trust nevertheless follows the expenditure responsibility rules of section 4945(h) of the Code to the extent possible, and therefore is, in this Statement 13, voluntarily providing the expenditure responsibility reports called for under section 4945(h)(3) of the Code. | MediumExplanationTxt |
