PART V, LINE 4	THE FOUNDATION'S QUASI-ENDOWMENT WAS ESTABLISHED IN 2017 AND CONSISTS OF VARIOUS INVESTMENT FUNDS ESTABLISHED PRIMARILY FOR SUPPORT OF THE FOUNDATION'S MISSION. ITS QUASI-ENDOWMENT REPRESENTS BOARD-DESIGNATED ENDOWMENT FUNDS. AS REQUIRED BY ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES GENERALLY ACCEPTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, NET ASSETS ASSOCIATED WITH ENDOWMENT FUNDS, INCLUDING FUNDS DESIGNATED BY THE BOARD TO FUNCTION AS ENDOWMENTS, ARE CLASSIFIED AND REPORTED BASED ON THE EXISTENCE OR ABSENCE OF DONOR-IMPOSED RESTRICTIONS. TOGETHER, THE ENDOWMENT AND QUASI-ENDOWMENT REPRESENT THE ENDOWMENT FUNDS ("ENDOWMENT FUNDS"). THE FOUNDATION MANAGES ITS ENDOWMENT FUNDS IN ACCORDANCE WITH UNIFORM PRUDENT MANAGEMENT OF INSTITUTIONAL FUNDS ACT (UPMIFA). UPMIFA PERMITS A NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION TO APPROPRIATE INVESTMENT INCOME AND APPRECIATION ON ENDOWMENT FUNDS FOR OPERATIONS IN ABSENCE OF DONOR RESTRICTIONS. ANNUAL DISTRIBUTIONS WILL BE SPENT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE ENDOWMENT FUNDS SPENDING POLICY. THE FOUNDATION'S SPENDING POLICY PERMITS WITHDRAWALS NOT TO EXCEED 3% OF THE AVERAGE MARKET VALUE OF THE FUND'S ASSETS FOR THE 12 CONSECUTIVE CALENDAR QUARTERS ENDING DECEMBER 31 OF THE YEAR PRECEDING THE CURRENT FISCAL YEAR. THE DISTRIBUTION OF INCOME REMAINS AT THE DISCRETION OF THE EXECUTIVE BOARD WITHIN THE DIRECTION OF THE BUDGET PROCESS. IN ADDITION, THE FOUNDATION'S INVESTMENT POLICY IS INTENDED TO OUTLINE A PHILOSOPHY AND ATTITUDE THAT WILL GUIDE THE INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT OF THE ASSETS TOWARD THE DESIRED RESULTS. IT IS INTENDED TO BE SUFFICIENTLY SPECIFIC TO BE MEANINGFUL, YET FLEXIBLE ENOUGH TO BE PRACTICAL. TO SATISFY ITS LONG-TERM RATE-OF-RETURN OBJECTIVES, THE FOUNDATION RELIES ON A TOTAL RETURN STRATEGY IN WHICH INVESTMENT RETURNS ARE ACHIEVED THROUGH BOTH CAPITAL APPRECIATION (REALIZED AND UNREALIZED) AND CURRENT YIELD (INTEREST AND DIVIDENDS). THE FOUNDATION TARGETS A DIVERSIFIED ASSET ALLOCATION THAT PLACES A GREATER EMPHASIS ON EQUITY-BASED INVESTMENTS TO ACHIEVE ITS LONG-TERM RETURN OBJECTIVES WITHIN PRUDENT RISK CONSTRAINTS.
