Desc	Founded in 1834, Wake Forest University is a private, coeducational collegiate university based in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. One of the leading institutions of its kind, Wake Forest blends the intimacy of a liberal arts college with the academic vitality of a research university. At the heart of Wake Forest is the teacher-scholar ideal. Professors are committed to personalized teaching and to their students' individual development. Guided by the motto Pro Humanitate (For Humanity), Wake Forest is dedicated to an ethically informed education in a climate that values personal growth, community interaction, and individual honor. It is committed to being a community of students, faculty, staff and alumni from diverse backgrounds, lived experiences and perspectives. It seeks to sustain an equitable, inclusive environment in which all can live, learn, belong and thrive. The University consists of Wake Forest College, the undergraduate arts and sciences division that honors the full institution's former name; the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences; the School of Law; the School of Medicine; the School of Business, which provides undergraduate and graduate study; the School of Divinity; and the School of Professional Studies.In Fall 2023, Wake Forest's enrollment was comprised of 5,471 undergraduates and 2,412 graduate students for a total of 7,883. Undergraduates in Fall 2023 came from all 50 U.S. states; Washington, D.C.; other U.S. territories and possessions; and approximately 40 international countries. Women represented 55.4% of the undergraduate population and international students accounted for 7.6% of the total. Wake Forest offered 49 majors and 64 minors in Wake Forest College and in the School of Business in 2023-24 with the addition of an interdisciplinary minor in actuarial sciences. In the Fall 2023 semester, 99.4% of all undergraduate classes had fewer than 50 students. That is among the highest rates of any major university in the country. The average student-faculty ratio in Fall 2023 was 10 to 1. The class size is consistent with Wake Forest's educational model, which seeks to make students active participants in their learning. Its core tenets include the merger of classroom learning and real-world experience; the melding of multiple academic disciplines; and variety of instructional methods beyond the traditional lecture format. Wake Forest's footprint extends worldwide. More than half of graduates have participated in study-away programs in recent years. The Institute for International Education's Open Doors Report, which began with the 2002-03 academic year, has ranked Wake Forest among the nation's top 10 doctoral institutions in participation rate in every year the University has operated study-abroad programs. Wake Forest is one of a select group of universities to own and operate academic-residential houses overseas. They are Casa Artom, located on the Grand Canal in Venice; Flow House in Vienna; and Worrell House in London. Since the early 1970s, more than 3,600 graduates have lived and studied at one or more of the houses. Wake Forest operates 50 of its own international study programs and offers students access to approximately 475 more through various affiliation agreements. In 2023-24, more than 1,000 students studied in 65 cities in 34 countries, traveling an estimated 10.2 million miles round-trip from Winston-Salem. Also, under the umbrella of Study Away opportunities is Wake Washington, a University-run program in which students combine classroom instruction with internships. They work four days a week for a variety of government and non-government organizations and agencies and take classes in space rented by the University and located in the heart of the city's Dupont Circle. Graduate Studies: More than 90 graduate degree programs are offered in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences and the Schools of Business, Divinity, Law, Medicine and Professional Studies. General subject areas include Biomedical Science; Business; Computer and Information Systems; Counseling; Education; Humanities; Interdisciplinary Studies; Law; Liberal Arts Studies; Life and Physical Sciences; Mathematics and Statistics; Medicine; Social and Behavioral Sciences; Theology; and Visual and Performing Arts. Business: The School of Business offers a total of seven highly rated graduate programs in Accountancy, Business Administration, Management and Analytics. In the past 20 years in which national records were kept, Wake Forest led the nation in CPA exam passage rate and placed in the top five in 19 of those 20 years. The School of Business also co-sponsors dual degrees in Law and Medicine. The part-time Master of Business Administration program offers working professionals the opportunity to keep their jobs while enhancing their careers. Serving separate cohorts of students in Winston-Salem and Charlotte, the MBA program is consistently ranked among the nation's best part-time offerings in the field. Divinity: The Wake Forest School of Divinity is nationally recognized for its commitment to public service. The School aspires for its graduates to be agents of justice, reconciliation and compassion and architects of equity, hope and healing. In addition to its own Master of Divinity degree, the School contributes to dual degrees in Bioethics, Counseling, Education, Law and Sustainability.Law: The School of Law is among national leaders in value, employment rate, bar-passage rate and several practice areas. According to the American Bar Association, 98.9% of graduates in Wake Forest's Class of 2023 held full-time positions for which bar passage was required or for which a JD degree was advantageous. That rate is the highest in the country for that year. The ABA also reported that 93% of the class passed the bar exam in the state of their choosing on the first try. That cohort is the most recent for which data is available. Wake Forest offers four law degrees (JD, MSL, LLM and SJD) and combines with other schools on dual degrees in Business Administration, Divinity, Bioethics and Sustainability. Arts and Sciences: The Graduate School of Arts and Sciences houses 23 Masters and Doctoral disciplinary or interdisciplinary programs and sponsors 15 programs jointly with the Schools of Law, Medicine, Business, Divinity and the Undergraduate College. The School of Professional Studies houses 12 Masters degree programs, all of which are offered online; six certificate, certification or other online training programs; and more than 15 non-credit classes, which take place in-person in Charlotte and Winston-Salem or online. The main campus, known as the Reynolda Campus, consists of more than 80 buildings on 340 acres in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. It opened in 1956 as the institution moved from its original location in Wake Forest, North Carolina, located 100 miles east. In addition, the University owns or leases space in several other locations. They include Wake Downtown, a repurposed tobacco warehouse that now houses robust academic programs in biomedical sciences and engineering approximately four miles from the Reynolda Campus; the Brookstown Campus, a Wake Downtown neighbor serving several Graduate School programs; the Bowman Gray Center for Medical Education, home to the School of Medicine and select Graduate School programs; the Charlotte Center, home to select graduate degree programs and the administration of the School of Professional Studies; and residential-academic houses for study-away opportunities in London, Venice and Vienna. Wake Forest considers access and opportunity vital to the mission articulated by its motto, Pro Humanitate. In FY24 alone, the University created 91 new scholarship funds and enhanced 63 others in the name of expanding its reach. Approximately 49% of the undergraduate student population and the vast majority of graduate students received financial aid awards in the form of grants or loans in 2023-24. Personal and Career Development:The Office of Personal and Career Development (OPCD) has shared its best practices and philosophies with more than 200 other institutions since 2009 and has been honored accordingly. In 2023, Wake Forest was one of only 12 institutions to receive a Career Spark Award from Handshake, a career networking firm with more than 1,400 college and university partners. Approximately 97% of Class of 2023 graduates had secured employment or a graduate school opportunity within six months of receiving Wake Forest degrees. That figure, the most recent available, is based on an extraordinarily high reporting rate in excess of 80%. OPCD's commitment to Wake Forest graduates extends beyond the receipt of a diploma. The office routinely conducts two career-advice events for alumni every month.	Desc

Desc	Residence Halls & Dining:In the interest of building community, Wake Forest requires all undergraduates to live on campus for at least three years. Of the 156 research institutions with data in one recent survey, only nine (5.8%) required three or four years of on-campus residency. The University has done its part in this endeavor by acquiring, building or substantially renovating all residence halls in the past decade. The Division of Residence Life and Housing (RLH) maintains 27 facilities. They are equipped with high-speed internet service and include common areas suited to group study. The Division of Dining Services includes 17 locations. The main dining hall, affectionately known as The Pit, serves cafeteria-style food with several distinct areas, including vegan, gluten-free and other diet-specific options. Athletics:Wake Forest fields 18 intercollegiate athletics teams nine for men and nine for women in the NCAA's Division I and the Atlantic Coast Conference, of which it is a charter member. The University's undergraduate enrollment is the smallest of any school in the four most financially and athletically potent Division I conferences, but that size is a strength rather than a weakness. The distinction helps the University attract student-athletes who excel in competition and academics. Across all sports, Wake Forest posted a 96% NCAA-measured graduation report in a report released in 2024. The institutional-level report measured graduation rates of 14 Wake Forest sport cohorts, considering teams in indoor track, outdoor track and cross country as one entity per gender. Of those 14 groups, seven posted perfect scores of 100%. Demon Deacon teams have won 10 NCAA team championships in six unique sports. Men's golf and field hockey have won three each and women's golf, men's tennis, men's soccer and baseball have one title apiece. In the spring of 2023, the women's golf team won its first NCAA title and the baseball team advanced to the semifinal stage of the College World Series.	Desc

Desc	Campus Life:Wake Forest is committed to putting the spirit of its motto, Pro Humanitate, in action. Student Organizations: Approximately 200 student organizations are active at Wake Forest, providing extracurricular learning and service opportunities for their members and ancillary benefit to the campus and local communities. They are centered around academic and professional development; business development; recreational-sports participation; fraternity and sorority life; cultural affiliation and affinity; media; fine-arts performance and exhibition; student governance; and other focal points. Community Outreach: In addition to student-run organizations, the Office of Civic and Community Engagement partners with approximately 120 projects and institutions across policy areas including aging; poverty; health; food access; various children's matters; education; and environmental sustainability. In the 2023-24 academic year, Wake Forest was one of only two North Carolina colleges to receive funds for an important initiative, Public Health AmeriCorps. Over the year, 14 students partnered with eight unique community organizations to help meet various public-health needs. In 2023-24, more than 42% of undergraduates participated in one or both of the major campus fundraising events supporting cancer research. Wellbeing: The University believes its obligation to students transcends classroom learning and extends to general health and wellbeing. In 2017, the University opened the renovated Reynolds Gym and the new Sutton Center, collectively known as the Wake Forest Wellbeing Center. The project immediately increased space dedicated to personal and group fitness; doubled the size of the Student Health center; and led to an increase in gym usage. A member of the Wake Forest community enters the facility every 68 seconds.In early 2023, Wake Forest announced the creation of We, a campus-wide initiative in support of mental health. The program works with the campus community to elevate consciousness of care; promote healthy practices and preventative care awareness; equip community members with knowledge and skills that can support their peers in need; and connect the community to the resources and information necessary to foster a culture of self-care. The endeavor created a dedicated phone number through which callers can refer themselves or others in need of assistance.A robust campus recreation department oversees 37 club sports and 37 intramural leagues and competitions. Nearly every late afternoon and early evening features contests in several distinct sports.	Desc

Desc	Research:Wake Forest is classified as a High Research Activity institution, the second-highest level, by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. Wake Forest University has grants and internally funded research pursuant to basic science and technology. Wake Forest University manages research projects in Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, Computer Science, Health & Exercise Science, Divinity and Business. The Z. Smith Reynolds Library and the professional school libraries together house 900,000 physical books and 971,000 eBooks, as well as access to a multitude of other web-based resources. The campus libraries provide resources for both student and faculty researchers. Every fall, the Undergraduate Research and Creative Activities Center sponsors Undergraduate Research Day, in which students display and explain the results of their faculty-mentored research, which often takes place the previous summer. In 2023, nearly 140 students presented their work, achieved under the guidance of faculty in 25 unique academic disciplines. In the Class of 2024, approximately one of every 10 graduates had participated in at least one Undergraduate Research Day. Wake Forest is also distinctive and impactful in the study of leadership and character. In January of 2023, the University announced it had secured a $30.7 million grant from the Lilly Endowment Inc., to benefit the Program for Leadership and Character, an initiative that seeks to inspire, educate and empower leaders of character to serve humanity. The grant will create a national higher education network dedicated to educating character. In early 2024, the Program fielded the first grant requests from other institutions seeking to form that network. Research at Wake Forest is enhanced by the work of 10 discipline-specific institutes and centers. In 2023-24, these organizations included:The Humanities Institute, which establishes programs and funds for University faculty in the humanities and other fields of study engaging in humanistic inquiry and scholarship;The Center for Bioethics, Health and Society, which addresses ethical, social and policy issues vital to biotechnology, healthcare, biomedical research and public health;The Andrew Sabin Family Center for Environment and Sustainability, which is dedicated to influencing the future of environmental protection, sustainability and climate change from the jungles of Peru to Wake Forest;The Center for Functional Materials, which is charged with connecting a broad range of materials-focused research groups and with supporting multidisciplinary research necessary for breakthrough developments; Interdisciplinary Arts Center, which draws artists, scholars, students, faculty and staff from across the academic divisions and disciplines in order to invigorate the intellectual and cultural life of the University;The Center for Molecular Signaling, which brings together investigators in the life, physical, computational and mathematical sciences to tackle basic questions about molecular communication among and within the cells of living organisms ranging from insects to plants to humans;The Center for Nanotechnology and Molecular Materials, which seeks to provide access to a broad range of nationally competitive capabilities in nanosciences.The Center for Research on Abroad and International Student Engagement (RAISE Center), which is dedicated to helping faculty, staff and students collaborate with scholars around the world to understand and enhance the experiences, engagement and development of abroad and international students; The Translational Science Center (TSC), which focuses on promoting and maintaining functional health in aging through research of cognitive function and physical activity.Conference ServicesWake Forest offers other organizations the space and logistical assistance to run conventions and other events. The locations include academic classrooms and auditoriums on the main campus as well as three separate, affiliated venues: Graylyn Estate and Conference Center; Reynolda Gardens; and Reynolda House Museum of American Art. WFDDThe University owns WFDD, an FM affiliate of National Public Radio. The station broadcast news, information, and public affairs programming covering the arts, people, and institutions in the area. It is the longest continuously broadcasting public radio station in North Carolina.	Desc

Explanation	Wake Forest University carefully selects qualified exempt organizations for its contributions and provides support for worthy projects and events in which the University has an interest. Grants provided to students are monitored either through use -for University tuition and fees- or by requiring substantiation from the students for research projects or scholastic travel grants. Research subcontracts are passed through to qualifying research institutes to complete a portion of externally funded sponsored projects awarded to Wake Forest University. Wake Forest University monitors these subcontracts to ensure that the subrecipients are in compliance with federal regulations and terms and conditions cascading down from the prime awards. The subrecipient's requests for reimbursement are reviewed for allowability of costs. Interim and final reporting is monitored to ensure adherence to performance expectations as set out in the scope of work.	ExplanationTxt

These include the following: some trustees are members or employees of law firms that provide legal services to some of the specified group or to businesses owned or operated by members of the specified group and to the filing organization; and some members of the specified group have banking relationships with banks in which trustees are executives; members of the specified group may also have common investments; and some members may serve together on boards of other entities. As noted in the response to Part VI, Question 12, however, the filing organization has a written conflict of interest policy designed to ensure that none of these transactions adversely affects the filing organization. Interested party transactions with the filing organization that meet the required thresholds, if any, are disclosed on Schedule L.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11b	Line 11b Explanation - The organization sends a draft of the Form 990 to its governing board (Board of Trustees) prior to its filing, allowing adequate time for follow-up questions and comments. The draft form is reviewed with the Audit & Compliance Committee of the organization's Board of Trustees. The organization provides a complete copy of the finalized Form 990 to the entire Board of Trustees prior to filing the Form 990 with the IRS.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c	The organization requires officers and key employees to annually review the conflict of interest policy and determine and report any actual and potential conflicts. In addition to the annual disclosure, officers and key employees are required to disclose actual and potential conflicts when they arise. Any actual and potential conflicts noted in the disclosures are reviewed for appropriate resolution by an appropriate reviewer and the organization's Compliance Office. All members of the Board of Trustees are similarly required to determine and report annually, and as they arise, any actual or potential conflicts of interest to the organization's Audit and Compliance Committee. Conflict of interest management plans are prepared in accordance with the applicable policy for all those officers, trustees, and key employees who are found to have conflicts. The conflict management plans are approved by appropriate individuals, also in accordance with the applicable policy. University officers are asked to certify annually that trustees have not exercised inappropriate influence concerning matters within the conflict management plan. Officers and key employees are monitored in accordance with the agreed upon management plan. The resolution of potential and actual conflicts for members of the Board of Trustees is subject to the approval of the Chair of the Board (or by the Vice Chair in cases of conflicts involving the Chair)and is reported to the Chair of the Audit & Compliance Committee of the Board of Trustees.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15	An external compensation consultant experienced in higher education compensation presents available total compensation comparability data for the positions for which compensation is being determined. Other sources of data are used as well to supplement this process. The data is reviewed by the Compensation Committee of the organization's governing board at its meetings; none of the members of that committee are employees of the organization. The Compensation Committee of the organization's governing board has been delegated the authority to review and approve compensation. Minutes of the deliberations of the committee are contemporaneously recorded. In the event that any member of the Compensation Committee has a conflict of interest, that committee member does not participate in the deliberation or approval process and their abstention from the process is reflected in the minutes.

Form And Line Reference	Part VII	FormAndLineReferenceDesc
Explanation	Verger Capital Management, LLC is a controlled entity that is taxable as a Partnership. It was formed to manage the investment activities for the endowment assets of the University and the Wake Forest controlled group. Verger Capital Fund (VCF) was created in order to hold the filing organization's Endowment Assets for investment, assets of other members of the controlled group, and assets from other, unrelated, entities for investment. Verger Fund I is a disregarded entity that holds the University's partnership interest in Verger Capital Fund, the entity holding the Endowment assets. Verger Fund II is the partnership which holds the interest in VCF (endowment assets) for the other members of the WFU controlled group. These subsidiary entities have a combined controlling interest in the partnership, thus the common parent, Wake Forest University has an indirect controlling interest. Wake Forest Technology Development Program, LP and Wake Forest Ambulatory Ventures, LLC are partnerships controlled by Wake Forest University Health Sciences. Since Wake Forest University is deemed to control Wake Forest University Health Sciences, it has an indirect controlling interest in these partnerships.	ExplanationTxt
