DescThe U.S. Charitable Gift Trust (Gift Trust) is a tax-exempt public charity offering donor-advised funds and pooled income funds. As described herein, the Gift Trust makes grants to numerous charitable organizations throughout the United States, including charitable organizations selected by persons transferring acceptable property to the Gift Trust (Donors) and others authorized by Donors to select qualified charitable organizations for grants.The Gift Trust was established to provide support to a broad range of charitable organizations over time, without incurring the costs and administrative burdens associated with the creation and operation of separate charitable foundations, while at the same time allowing Donors to determine when and how to make their charitable gifts. All grants are subject to the Gift Trusts determination that the grant recipient is a qualified charitable organization and that the grant otherwise meets applicable legal requirements.Desc

Form And Line ReferencePart X : FIN48 FootnoteFormAndLineReferenceDesc
ExplanationThe Trust is recognized by the IRS as a nonprofit organization as described in IRC Sections 501(c)(3), 509(a)(1), and 170(b)(1)(A)(vi). DAFs are exempt from taxation under IRC Section 501(a). PIFs and the CDRF are subject to tax on undistributed net income and alternative minimum tax preference items. U.S. GAAP requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken to determine whether the tax positions are more-likely-than-not of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. The Trust recorded no federal income tax for the years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. For the years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Trust had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, de-recognition, or disclosure. Each of the Trust's federal tax returns filed in the 3-year period ended December 31, 2019 remains subject to examination by the IRS.ExplanationTxt

Form And Line ReferencePart I, Line 2 - Grantmakers Explanation For Monitoring Use of Funds Outside USFormAndLineReferenceDesc
ExplanationThe Trust generally makes grants to organizations within the United States. During 2019, grants were made to organizations outside the United States that hold a U.S. 501(c)(3) designation.Grantees with this designation follow the same monitoring process as U.S.-based grants:The Trust verifies that all organizations meet 501(c)(3) requirements and are not 509(a)(3) Type III nonfunctionally integrated supporting organizations. If the organization is a Type I, Type II, or Type III functionally integrated supporting organization, additional information is provided to the Trust to verify control of the granted funds. In addition, a letter is sent to the organization that states that the funds can be used "exclusively for charitable purposes and cannot be used or applied to a pre-existing pledge or provide a private benefit (such as school tuition or scholarships sent directly to individuals, dues, membership fees, benefit tickets or goods bought at charitable auctions). We will consider the deposit of a check by the charity as confirmation that the grant will not be used for improper purposes."Finally, the checks themselves use the following verbiage to ensure proper use: "By endorsing this check your organization certifies to the U.S. Charitable Gift Trust that (I) Your organization is tax exempt as outlined by section 501(c)(3) and section 509(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as amended; (II) These funds will be used exclusively for exempt purposes; (III) No private benefit, goods or services were received by any individuals or entities connected with the mentioned donor advised fund with the Trust; (IV) This gift does not satisfy a pledge or other personal financial obligation on behalf of any individuals or entities connected with the mentioned donor advised fund with the U.S. Charitable Gift Trust; (V) This gift will not be used for political activity or lobbying purposes; (VI) This organization is not a Type III nonfunctionally integrated supporting organization or supporting organization controlled by an individual connected with the mentioned donor advised fund with the U.S. Charitable Gift Trust."ExplanationTxt
