Form And Line ReferencePart X, Line 2:FormAndLineReferenceDesc
ExplanationThe Foundation is exempt from Federal Income Taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Unrelated Business Income, of which the Foundation had no significant amounts for the year ended December 31, 2016 is subject to Federal Income Taxes. Accordingly, there is no provision or liability for Federal Income taxes in the accompanying financial statements. The foundation regularly assesses uncertain tax positions in each of the tax jurisdictions in which it has operations and accounts for the related financial statement implications. Unrecognized tax benefits are reported using the two-step approach under which tax effects of a position are recognized only if it is "more-likely-than-not" to be sustained and the amount of the tax benefit recognized is equal to the largest tax benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement of the tax position. Determining the appropriate level of unrecognized tax benefits requires the foundation to exercise judgement regarding the uncertain application of tax law. The amount of unrecognized tax benefits is adjusted when information becomes available or when an event occurs indicating a change is appropriate. Future changes in unrecognized tax benefits requirements could have a material impact on the results of operations. The Foundation is generally no longer subject to tax examination relating to US federal tax returns for years prior to fiscal year ended September 30, 2011.ExplanationTxt

ExplanationAustin Parks Foundation provides both grants and assistance to local parks, other park-related nonprofits and local governments for park purposes. For grants (all additions of physical amenities to parks): Once a grant is awarded, APF staff conduct a site visit to view the project location in advance of work commencing. Grantees are required to submit a progress report at 6 months, and a grant report at the end of 12 months. The grant report must include "before and "after" photographs, project financials, and a written narrative. APF staff conduct a site visit once work is completed. In addition, the Chief Mission Officer reviews grant project expenditures at the end of each month to ensure appropriate spending. Austin Park Foundation awarded grants to various organizations on behalf of parks in the Austin area. Funds were paid directly by Austin Parks Foundation to the vendors performing the work on the parks, therefore these grants are not detailed on this schedule(Schedule I). APF awarded a total of $396,447 in grants in 2016 including the following: Community Grants - $271,266, Neighborhood Grants - $25,181 and an Impact Grant of $100,000. For assistance with projects sponsored by other community organizations, the recipient agrees to furnish quarterly informal progress updates and shall provide to Austin Parks Foundation a final report no later than 30 Days after the Term Date} including a project summary, pictures, and final financial report compared to the project budget. If the project includes funding from multiple sources, the recipient must also provide reports which include all sources of funds.
