PART V, LINE 4The permanent endowment is for the Facility Care Endowment which provides for the maintenance of the GACS campus/buildings. The term endowment is for the Academic Support Endowment, Christian Life Endowment, Facility Care Endowment, Faculty Quality & Growth Endowment, Financial Aid Endowment, and the Sustaining Endowment. There are a few other small temporarily restricted funds that, along with the endowments listed above, support the general mission of Greater Atlanta Christian School.
PART X, LINE 2GACS is recognized as an organization exempt from income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"). The Foundation is recognized as a supporting organization of GACS and is also exempt from income taxes. Only unrelated business income, as defined by Section 512(a)(1) of the Code is subject to income taxes. Under the Code, the taxable activities of GRR and NHR are allowed to be reported in conjunction with activities of GACS for tax reporting purposes. During 2016 and 2015, all the activities of GRR and NHR qualify as exempt activities and do not give rise to unrelated business income. The School annually evaluates all federal and state income tax positions. This process includes an analysis of whether these income tax positions the School takes meet the definition of an uncertain tax position under the Income Taxes Topic of the Financial Accounting Standards Codification. In the normal course of business, the School is subject to examination by the federal and state taxing authorities. In general, the School is no longer subject to tax examinations for tax years ending before June 30, 2013.
