Part V, Line 4:To ensure that the organization will be able to continue its mission.
Part X, Line 2:CEF is exempt from taxation under Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3) and California Revenue and Taxation Code Section 23701d. Generally accepted accounting principles provide accounting and disclosure guidance about positions taken by an organization in its tax returns that might be uncertain. Management has considered its tax positions and believes that all of the positions taken by CEF in their federal and state exempt organization tax returns are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination. CEF's returns are subject to examination by federal and state taxing authorities, generally for three and four years respectively, after they are filed.

Form And Line ReferencePart I, Line 2:FormAndLineReferenceDesc
ExplanationCommunity for Education Foundation maintains a separate bank account for scholarships and keeps records for the scholarship grants in two ways: by keeping a spreadsheet detailing the amount of funds students use from their scholarship and by retaining copies of any check issued to said grantees. The grantee's eligibility for scholarship grants and assistance is based on two factors: that they are college bound high school students and that they have participated in Overcoming Obstacles Life Skills Program. Also, students who receive grants through our partnership with the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association must pursue a degree in either science or medicine. Students are selected based on their involvement in Overcoming Obstacles Life Skills program, with students showing the most progress in adapting the lessons to their personal lives being awarded with a grant. The same applies to those who are awarded the AHA/ASA grant, though they must pursue a degree in science or medicine. The scholarship review process is formal with applications required from the student, their educator supervisor, a formal interview with the Overcoming Obstacles staff, and approval by the organization's board and staff.ExplanationTxt
