Part V, Line 4:	Description of Intended Use of Endowment Funds:	The long-term objective for the funds adopted by Garfield Park Conservatory Alliance is to generate additional cash flow to help support Garfield Park Conservatory Alliance's general operations
Part X:	Description of Uncertain Tax Positions Under FIN 48:	Garfield Park Conservatory Alliance's adoption of the Income Tax Topic regarding uncertain tax positions of GAAPUSA on July 1, 2009 had no effect on its financial position as management believes Garfield Park Conservatory Alliance has no material unrecognized income tax benefits, including any potential risk of loss of its not-for-profit tax status. Garfield Park Conservatory Alliance would account for any potential interest or penalties related to possible future liabilities for unrecognized income tax benefits as income tax expense. Garfield Park Conservatory Alliance is no longer subject to examination by federal, state or local tax authorities for periods before 2007. Prior to adoption of the Income Tax Topic, Garfield Park Conservatory Alliance accounted for tax positions under a contingent loss model, requiring recognition of a tax liability when it was both (1) probable that it had been incurred as of year-end and (2) the amount could be reasonably estimated.
