Part V, Line 4:	The Investment Committee, which oversees all the Corporation's investments, operates under investment and spending policies for endowment assets that attempt to provide a predictable stream of funding to programs, while seeking to maintain the purchasing power of the endowment assets. Under these policies, the endowment assets are invested in a manner that, over time, will meet the long-term objective of a 5% real return on assets. The Corporation's policy is to preserve the historical dollar value of permanently restricted contributions, and to use any of the investment returns as is prudent considering the Corporation's long- and short-term needs, resources, duration and preservation of donor-restricted endowment funds, donor restrictions, expected total return on its investments, price level trends, general economic conditions, and investment policies.
Part X, Line 2:	Income taxes: The Corporation follows the standard on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, which addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under this guidance, the Corporation may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. Examples of tax positions include the tax-exempt status of the Corporation, continued tax exempt status of bonds payable, and various positions related to the potential sources of unrelated business taxable income. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Corporation files Form 990 in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and the State of Illinois.
Part XI, Line 4b - Other Adjustments:	Rental expenses (Part VIII, Line 6b) -304,590. Gain (loss) on sale of other assets (Part VIII, Line 7c(ii)) -32,394. Fundraising event expenses (Part VIII, Line 8b + Line 9b) -511,432. Cost of goods sold (Part VIII, Line 10b) -134,077.
Part XII, Line 2d - Other Adjustments:	Rental expenses (Part VIII, Line 6b) 304,590. (Gain) loss on sale of other assets (Part VIII, Line 7c(ii)) 32,394. Fundraising event expenses (Part VIII, Line 8b + Line 9b) 511,432. Cost of goods sold (Part VIII, Line 10b) 134,077.
