SPECIAL COLLECTIONS IS COMPRISED OF RARE AND VALUABLE BOOKS, MANUSCRIPTS, AND OTHER COLLECTIBLES THAT SUPPORT RESEARCH BY STUDENTS, FACULTY, AND VISITING SCHOLARS. IN RECENT YEARS, SPECIAL COLLECTIONS STAFF IDENTIFIED SEVERAL SIGNIFICANT TITLES THAT WOULD BE STRATEGIC ACQUISITIONS TO CURRENT COLLECTIONS. THE STAFF WAS ABLE TO SECURE THESE ACQUISITIONS AND TO DATE ALL HAVE BEEN USED BY STUDENTS OR FACULTY FOR RESEARCH PAPERS AS PART OF SEVERAL ACADEMIC COURSES TAUGHT AT THE COLLEGE OF CHARLESTON. THESE ACQUISITIONS WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE WITHOUT PRIVATE SUPPORT. THE IMPACT OF THESE TITLES ON THE ENTIRE CAMPUS AND THE COMMUNITY IS ENDLESS AND IMMEASURABLE. IN TIME, WITH SUPPORT OF THE FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY, THE STAFF IN SPECIAL COLLECTIONS HOPES TO CONTINUOUSLY GROW THE COLLECTIONS IN THE SAME MANNER.
PART V, LINE 4:	THE FOUNDATION'S ENDOWMENT CONSISTS OF APPROXIMATELY 450 INDIVIDUAL FUNDS ESTABLISHED FOR A VARIETY OF PURPOSES INCLUDING BOTH DONOR-RESTRICTED PERPETUAL ENDOWMENT FUNDS AND FUNDS DESIGNATED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS TO FUNCTION AS ENDOWMENTS. AS REQUIRED BY GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, NET ASSETS ASSOCIATED WITH ENDOWMENT FUNDS, INCLUDING FUNDS DESIGNATED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS TO FUNCTION AS ENDOWMENTS, ARE CLASSIFIED AND REPORTED BASED ON THE EXISTENCE OR ABSENCE OF DONOR-IMPOSED RESTRICTIONS.
PART X, LINE 2:	THE FOUNDATION IS EXEMPT FROM FEDERAL INCOME TAXES UNDER SECTION 501(C)(3) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE; ACCORDINGLY, THE ACCOMPANYING CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DO NOT REFLECT A PROVISION OR LIABILITY FOR FEDERAL AND STATE INCOME TAXES. THE FOUNDATION HAS DETERMINED THAT IT DOES NOT HAVE ANY MATERIAL UNRECOGNIZED TAX BENEFITS OR OBLIGATIONS AS OF JUNE 30, 2016. FISCAL YEARS ON OR AFTER JUNE 30, 2013 REMAIN SUBJECT TO EXAMINATION BY FEDERAL AND STATE TAX AUTHORITIES. CONTRIBUTIONS MADE TO THE FOUNDATION QUALIFY FOR THE CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTION DEDUCTION UNDER SECTION 509(A)(1) AND 170(B)(1)(A)(IV) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE.

DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE TOTAL AMOUNT WITHIN TEMPORARILY RESTRICTED NET ASSETS WILL NOT CHANGE, THE RECLASSIFICATION OF FUNDS IS NOT CONSIDERED A RESTATEMENT.
