The endowment fund is maintained to provide a permanent source of income to support the housing, residency and social service programs of the Actors Fund. The endowment is managed so that its principal must be invested and kept intact in perpetuity. The Fund's income is used by the Actors Fund to support charitable programs, special events and its overall charitable mission. Fin 48 Part X In July 2006, new guidance was issued in the area of "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes." The new standard clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, including issues relating to financial statement recognition and measurement. This standard provides that the tax effects from an uncertain tax position can be recognized in the financial statements only if the position is "more-likely-than-not" to be sustained if the position were to be challenged by a taxing authority. The standard also provides guidance on measurement, classification, interest and penalties, and disclosure. Management does not believe that The Actors Fund has any uncertain tax positions. The Actors Fund has processes presently in place to ensure the maintenance of its tax-exempt status; to identify and report unrelated income; determine its filing and tax obligations in jurisdictions for which it has nexus; and to review other matters that may be considered tax positions. The tax years ending 2007, 2008, 2009, and 2010 remain open to audit for both federal and state purposes.

Cash held on behalf of beneficiaries is offset by a corresponding liability in the accompanying statement of financial position.

At times, the Actors Fund will make the grant directly payable to the service provider, thereby ensuring that the requested bills are timely paid. 2. On an exceptional basis, grants may be made payable to an individual. When this occurs, the grantee must provide proof that the grant was used for the requested bill i.e.; the grantee must provide a rent receipt showing payment, food purchase receipts. 3. For all grantees that receive assistance on a continual basis, they are required to meet with their counselor to review budgets and financial need. 4. On a quarterly basis, accounting provides social services with a list of uncashed checks that are reviewed by counselor and grantee. If checks continue to go uncashed, Social Services will stop providing assistance. In 2010, the Actors Fund made a capital contribution to a related party, the Actors Fund Housing Development Corporation. This grant has been reported on both Schedule I & Schedule R. All funds granted have been used to meet operating expenses.

In 2010, the Actors Fund was bequeathed a residential home that it is in the process of selling. The organization has engaged a real estate broker to sell that home. Program Services Part III, Line 4a - 4d Program accomplishment 1: housing Affordable, supportive and senior housing is a critical concern for many in the performing arts and entertainment industry. The Actors Fund works in many ways to help its constituents find and secure housing. In 1902, The Actors Fund opened a retirement home for members of the entertainment community. Today, The Fund provides 124-beds of assisted living and skilled nursing care at the Lillian Booth Actors Home in Englewood, New Jersey. The Dorothy Ross Friedman Residence (formerly the Aurora), an affordable, 178-unit supportive housing residence on West 57th Street in Manhattan, provides housing for low-income professionals, seniors and persons with AIDS. In West Hollywood, CA, The Actors Fund provides 40 units of affordable housing to persons with HIV/AIDSs at the Palm View residence. In 2009, with Common Ground Community, The Fund opened the Schermerhorn residence in downtown Brooklyn. The Schermerhorn provides 216 units of affordable, supportive housing for low-income professionals in entertainment and the community, as well as formerly homeless individuals with HIV/AIDS or mental health needs. The Housing Resource Center provides information on finding affordable housing, roommate and home sharing, tenants' rights, housing court and purchasing your first home. The Housing Resource Center also sponsors the housing bulletin board where industry members can post housing availabilities and search for places to live. Program Accomplishment 2: Social Services The Actors Fund social services offer comprehensive programs designed to meet the critical needs of entertainment professionals throughout their lives. Social workers provide crisis intervention, individual and family needs assessments, and develop long-term plans including ongoing support, education, information and referrals. In addition, financial assistance is provided for essential living expenses such as rent, utilities or medical costs. In 2010, The Actors Fund provided over $2,536,000 in emergency financial assistance and helped 4,093 people through the following programs: the Entertainment Assistance Program, the AIDS Initiative, Seniors and Disabled Program, Women's Health Initiative, Chemical Dependency Program, Mental Health Program, Financial Wellness, the Dancers' Resource and Howl! Helps. Program Accomplishment 3: Health Services It is central to the mission of The Actors Fund to respond to, and to anticipate, the needs of the entertainment and performing arts communities. Paramount among those needs is health care. The health services programs offer both internet-based and personal health insurance and health care guidance and, through our own free clinic, direct medical care for people who are uninsured. Because the landscape of health care options is constantly shifting, and new health care needs arise over time, our programs also focus on emerging problems and solutions. Our access to health insurance/resources for care (AHIRC) database actively pursues and links to the newest internet sites for local health care programs. Our website www.ahirc.org has over 6,000 resources and state-by-state information. Our Health Insurance Resource Center updates its workshops and seminars with information on the latest health insurance products, both government and private; our insurance experts counseled 2,853 individuals in 2010. The Al Hirschfeld Free Health Clinic not only provides excellent general care for people who are uninsured but also constantly seeks access to affordable testing and specialist services for its clients. In 2010, the AHFHC provided 2,826 free medical visits to 1,469 people. The clinic's volunteer physicians program - Broadway Docs - contributed 677 medical visits valued at $185,050 with Laboratory testing valued at $279,595 donated by BioReference Labs. Program Accomplishment 4: Employment and Training Services The Actors Fund Work Program (AWP) assists entertainment industry and performing arts professionals in identifying and finding sideline work and new careers. AWP is a comprehensive employment and training program committed to fostering resiliency and self-reliance for industry professionals, as well as providing a resource for referral of highly skilled and creative workers to the larger employment community. Through AWP services, clients can develop rewarding sideline careers in such areas as teaching, administrative support, healing professions and real estate. Often, working professionals need to work outside of the industry to support the continuing pursuit of industry work. Many of the skills that entertainment industry professionals have - communication, discipline, creativity, flexibility, professionalism - are highly valued in the broader labor market. The Actors Fund Work Program helps to identify and apply these skills to other work settings. The Actors Fund Work Program had 2,871 participants in 2010. Governance, Management, and Disclosure Part VI Section B: POLICIES Line 11 - The form 990 was prepared by a nationally renowned accounting firm in conjunction with the organization's financial department. A copy of the draft Form 990 was circulated to the full Board of Trustees for discussion and comment.

Line 12 - The Actors Fund has a written conflict of interest policy for employees and trustees. The officers, directors, trustees, and key employees are required to complete the conflict of interest policy form and sign on an annual basis at a minimum, and inform the organization when the conflict of interest circumstances arise. Line 15 - Each year an independent compensation consultant validates the organization's competitive position in the marketplace by region, organizations with a similar mission, size of organization, and operational budget. Executive Director, Senior Directors and employees increases are based on position grades and individual performance. All compensation is reviewed by the organization's Compensation Committee and approved by Executive Committee.
