| Part V, Line 4: | Description of Intended Use of Endowment Funds: | The Foundation's endowment consists of permanently restricted and temporarily restricted funds established for the following purposes: Permanently restricted funds are donor restricted to be held in perpetuity, with the income and related investment gains to be used for donor restricted zoo programs or operations. Temporarily restricted funds are the accumulation of earnings from the permanently restricted endowment that have not been appropriated for expenditure, with the income and related investment gains to be used for any mission related program. |
| Part X: | Description of Uncertain Tax Positions Under FIN 48: | The Foundation is a tax-exempt organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and Minnesota Statute 290.05. It has been classified as an organization that is not a private foundation under the Internal Revenue Code and charitable contributions by donors are tax deductible. However, any unrelated business income may be subject to taxation. In accordance with the accounting standard on Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, the Foundation addressed the determination of whether tax benefits claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under this guidance, the Foundation may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merit of the position. Examples of tax positions include the tax-exempt status of the Foundation and various positions related to the potential sources of unrelated business taxable income. There were no significant unrecognized tax benefits or recorded liabilities during fiscal year 2010. Open tax years subject to examination by U.S. and state taxing authorities are for the years 2007 to 2009, which statutes expire in 2010 to 2012, respectively. |
