Domestic Private Foundations and Charitable Trusts,

1998

omestic private foundations provided $19.4

billion in contributions, gifts, and grants in

Reporting Year 1998, an 18-percent increase

over 1997. These outlays, which are generally

awarded to charitable organizations, communities, or

individuals, contribute to the operation of charitable

programs in such areas as education, arts and

humanities, health, human services, and environmental protection [1]. Foundations, which are tax-exempt

under Internal Revenue Code section 501(c)(3), are

required to file the information return, Form 990-PF,

annually. The 56,658 returns filed for 1998 by

domestic foundations represented an increase of

nearly 3 percent from the prior year.

Total fair market value of assets for private

foundations grew by 16 percent to $397.1 billion for

1998, with investment assets, at $380.5 billion, representing the majority of that amount. Despite a loss of

more than 7 percent in the value of investments in

Government obligations, investment assets increased

by 18 percent overall, with investments in corporate

stocks and bonds increasing by 21 and 15 percent,

respectively. Total revenue grew by nearly 8 percent

to $59.7 billion. Various financial data, including

private foundation asset, revenue, and expense items

for 1997 and 1998, are shown in Figure A.

Form 990-PF is also filed by nonexempt charitable trusts, as described in Internal Revenue Code

section 4947(a)(1). The number of domestic charitable trusts filing Forms 990-PF decreased by 10

percent from 1997, to 2,667. Nonexempt charitable

trusts filing Form 990-PF reported fair market value

of assets of $5.1 billion, revenue totaling $0.6 billion,

and distributions of $0.3 billion in contributions, gifts,

and grants [2].

StatisticsofIncomeStudies

The statistics presented in this article on both private

foundations and charitable trusts are based on sample

data from Form 990-PF, Return of Private Foundation (or Section 4947(a)(1) Charitable Trust

Treated as a Private Foundation), the annual

information return filed by these organizations [3].

PrivateFoundations

OrganizationalDefinitionsandLegislativeBackground

Together, nonprofit organizations tax-exempt under

Internal Revenue Code section 501(c)(3), including

both private foundations and publicly-supported

organizations, represent nearly $1.7 trillion in total

assets, which were reported in book value by all

types of organizations for 1998. They contribute

billions of dollars in grants and support for charitable

operations each year. A private foundation is

distinguished from a publicly-supported charitable

organization, which receives broad support from

diverse sources in the general public, by its narrow

sphere of support and control, which is generally

limited to an individual, family, or corporation. In

most cases, a foundation is organized in the form of a

corporation, association, or trust, which provides

some manner of charitable support or conducts

charitable activities. Due to this centralization of

control, foundations are not directly accountable to

the public, and are subject to greater Federal regulation than publicly-supported organizations. For tax

purposes, all organizations receiving tax-exemption

are initially considered to be private foundations and

are required to file Form 990-PF. Organizations that

meet certain requirements will then be further

defined as publicly-supported or charitable, and will

instead file Form 990, Return of Organization

Exempt From Income Tax, or Form 990-EZ, the

short version of this information return. Some

publicly-supported exempt organizations, including

churches and organizations with minimal asset

holdings and income, are exempted from filing any

information return [4].

¹ Sum of "Investments in land, buildings, and equipment (less accumulated depreciation)," "Investments in mortgage loans," and "Other investments," as reported

on Form 990-PF. "Other investments" includes items such as advances; certificates of investment; and investments in art, coins, gold, and gems.

² Based on the cash receipts and disbursement method of accounting.

For 1998, private foundations represented roughly

21 percent all Forms 990, 990-EZ, and 990-PF filed.

Additionally, they held nearly one-fifth of total assets

(book value) and earned 7 percent of total revenue

reported [5].

Depending on the type of charitable support that

a private foundation provides, it may be classified as

either "operating" or "nonoperating." An operating

foundation is directly involved in the operation of its

own charitable activities [6]. Examples of this type

of organization include certain museums, facilities

providing housing or health care, or organizations

conducting scientific research. Although operating

foundations are not legally required to distribute

grants to other organizations, many choose to contribute to other nonprofit programs. A nonoperating

foundation is defined as such because it generally

supports charitable programs indirectly, providing

grants to other nonprofit organizations, rather than

operating programs of its own. These foundations,

the most common Form 990-PF filers, are required to

distribute annually a minimum amount for charitable

purposes, which is based on 5 percent of the average

monthly fair market value of their "noncharitable-use

(or net investment) assets" [7]. Those organizations

that do not meet the required "distributable amount" in

the current year may avoid being penalized by fulfilling the requirement by the end of the following year.

Most foundations are required, under the Tax

Reform Act of 1969 (TRA69), to pay an excise tax

on income received only from investments, or "net

investment income." Certain operating foundations

are exempt from this tax [8]. Additional excise taxes

on "prohibited activities" (those which are contrary to

the public interest) were also imposed by TRA69.

Business ventures or investments that in some way

jeopardize the foundation's charitable purpose, or acts

of "self-dealing," which are defined as financial

transactions with foundation officers, directors, trustees, substantial contributors, or "other disqualified

persons," are considered to be contrary to the public

interest and taxable under TRA69. The Act also

penalizes certain political and legislative activities,

such as participation by a foundation on behalf of, or

in opposition to, a candidate for public office, or

efforts to influence legislation by contacting (or

encouraging the public to contact) legislators. Additionally, TRA69 established a tax penalty, which is

45

Domestic Private Foundations and Charitable Trusts, 1998

imposed on any nonoperating foundation that fails to

meet the required minimum payout after the 1-year

grace period. Taxes on these prohibited activities are

reported separately on Form 4720, Return of Certain Excise Taxes on Charities and Other Persons

Under Chapters 41 and 42 of the Internal Revenue Code, and are not included in this article [9].

Data for 1998 are based on the returns of domestic private foundations only and do not include

information reported by foreign foundations, also

required to file Form 990-PF [10]. These organizations, which are organized abroad but receive certain

degrees of support from U.S. sources, usually account for about 1 percent of Forms 990-PF filed.

While foreign private foundations may make charitable distributions within the United States, they are

generally not required to do so [11].

AProfileofthe1998Form990-PFFilers

Throughout this article, foundations will be discussed

based on size class, as determined by the size of their

end-of-year fair market value of total assets. "Small

foundations" refers to the group holding less than $1

million in fair market value of total assets (including

foundations that either do not report assets or that

report assets equal to zero), "medium-size foundations" refers to the group holding from $1 million to

less than $50 million in assets, and "large foundations"

refers to the group holding $50 million or more in assets.

Small foundations accounted for 65 percent of

the more than 56,600 returns filed for 1998, but held

little more than 2 percent of assets, as shown in

Figure B. In contrast, large foundations represented

fewer than 2 percent of all returns filed, but accounted for nearly 69 percent of asset holdings, with

Domestic Private Foundations and Charitable Trusts, 1998

Figure C

61 percent of total assets held by those foundations

with fair market value of total assets of $100 million

or more. Large foundations also dominated the

revenue category, with those holding $100 million or

more in assets reporting more than half of total revenue.

Nearly 93 percent of Forms 990-PF filed for

1998 represented nonoperating foundations, with the

remaining 7 percent made up of operating foundations. Nearly 83 percent of nonoperating and 62

percent of operating foundations were characterized

as grantmaking for 1998, with grantmaking foundations representing 81 percent of all 990-PF filers.

Foundations awarded $19.4 billion dollars in contributions, gifts, and grants for 1998. Of those nonoperating foundations that were not classified as grantmaking, 28 percent satisfied the distribution requirement through other types of charitable disbursements,

including administrative and operational expenses for

charitable purposes, program-related investments,

acquisition of charitable-purpose assets, and charitable "set-asides" for future projects. Additionally, 18

percent reported no "distributable amount" and were

therefore not required to meet the requirement, and

the remaining 54 percent opted to meet the 1998

requirement during their 1999 accounting periods or

pay the tax penalty [12].

TenLargestDomesticFoundations

Forms 990-PF are available for public disclosure

under Internal Revenue Code section 6104(b). With

the Tax and Trade Relief Extension Act of 1998,

Congress directed that foundations furnish copies of

their three most recent annual returns, as well as

their original applications for exempt status, to the

public. Due to the public disclosure requirements,

Forms 990-PF differ from most other IRS return

data, since individual return information may be

published.

The largest foundations, those holding $100

million or more in assets, held 61 percent of all assets,

but accounted for fewer than 500 returns, or less

than 1 percent of all foundations. Additionally, the

largest organizations were responsible for 46 percent

of all grants paid. Ten foundations alone accounted

for more than 30 percent of the total assets held by

the largest domestic foundations. These foundations,

along with data on total assets and grants paid for

1998 are shown in Figure C. The Lilly Endowment,

² The J. Paul Getty Trust is an operating foundation. All other organizations listed are

nonoperating foundations.

³ The W.K. Kellogg Foundation Trust (classified as a private foundation and not as a

section 4947(a)(1) charitable trust) is located in New York and has a "pass-through"

realtionship with the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, located in Michigan. Typically, the

entire amount of the annual qualifying (charitable) distributions of the W.K. Kellogg

Foundation Trust is made in the form of a grant to the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, which

then redistributes the grant for charitable purposes (and does not count the

redistribution as a qualifying distribution of its own). The combined total assets of the

two organizations are shown in the "Total assets" column, but, in order to avoid

duplication, only the grants paid by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation are shown in the

"Total grants paid" column.

domestic private foundation for 1997, was again the

largest domestic private foundation for 1998, based

on size of fair market value of total assets. Additionally, the William H. Gates Foundation joined the top

ten for the first time, reporting $5.4 billion in fair

market value of total assets. The Annenberg Foundation, previously the 9th-largest domestic foundation,

fell from the list to the 11th spot for 1998. The J.

Paul Getty Trust, the 4th-largest domestic private

foundation, was the only operating foundation included in the top ten.

The Ford Foundation led the largest foundations

in charitable grants paid, at $514 million, followed by

the Lilly Endowment, which reported $425 million in

grants paid. For eight of the ten largest foundations,

Reporting Year 1998 also included increases in

grants paid. The largest of these increases, 500

SourcesofFoundationRevenue

The majority of foundation revenue (95 percent) was

gained from contributions received, dividends and

interest from securities, and net gain from sales of

assets. Net gain from sales of assets increased by

15 percent and was the major source of foundation

revenue, accounting for 46 percent of the total. Total

contributions, gifts, and grants received increased by

slightly less than 2 percent and accounted for 35

percent of total revenue. Of the three major components of revenue, dividends and interest from

securities accounted for the smallest percentage of

the total, 14 percent, and experienced a 4-percent

increase. Figure D shows revenue sources for 1998

for all foundations, by asset-size class.

Large foundations remained the least dependent

on contributions as a source of revenue. Large

foundations relied more heavily on net gain from

sales of assets than any other component, receiving

just 22 percent of their revenue from contributions.

Medium and small foundations, on the other hand,

both depended on contributions received as the major

revenue source, with medium foundations reporting

contributions received at 49 percent of total revenue

and small foundations reporting the largest portion, 70

percent.

All foundation revenues, other than contributions

received, are assigned to one of three categories on

the "Analysis of Income Producing Activities" schedule of Form 990-PF. "Unrelated business income"

(UBI) is taxable income from a trade or business that

was regularly carried on by the organization but was

not substantially related to the organization's exempt

purpose or function, other than to provide income to

the organization. Organizations with unrelated business income must file Form 990-T, Exempt Organization Business Income Tax Return [14]. Private

foundations reported $207.5 million in unrelated

business income for 1998, less than 1 percent of total

revenue. Just 4 percent of all foundations had income categorized as unrelated business income.

"Excluded income" represents income that was

not directly related to the tax-exempt, charitable

function of the foundation, but was exempted or

excluded from the tax on unrelated business income

by IR Code sections 512, 513, or 514. Included in

this category are dividends, interest, rental income,

and gains from sales of investment assets. Excluded

income totaled $36.1 billion for 1998, some 93 percent of total income as reported on the "Analysis of

Income Producing Activities" schedule.

Income that was directly related to the function

or purpose for which the organization has received

tax exemption was classified as "related or exempt

function income." This category also included income, such as that received from tax-exempt State

and local bonds, that was exempt from tax but not

described in Code sections 512, 513, or 514. Nearly

6 percent, or $2.3 billion, of the income reported on

the "Analysis of Income Producing Activities" schedule was categorized as exempt income.

ExciseTaxonInvestmentIncome

In accordance with TRA69, private foundations pay

excise tax on their investment incomes each year.

This tax is intended to cover expenses incurred by

the IRS in the oversight of foundation activities and

the enforcement of laws governing their exempt

status. Generally, domestic foundations are liable to

pay taxes equal to 2 percent of their worldwide net

investments. All foreign foundations, with the

exception of those organized in Canada, are subject

to an excise tax based on 4 percent of their gross

investment incomes from U.S. sources only. Canadian foundations are exempt from this tax as a result

of special treaty provisions with the United States.

Domestic operating foundations that are able to show

a significant amount of public support and control

may also be exempt from the tax. For 1998, some 15

percent of all operating foundations were exempt

from this tax [15].

Domestic nonoperating foundations, under the

Deficit Reduction Act of 1984, may be eligible for a

reduction of the tax to 1 percent of net investment

income, in cases where the foundation is able to

show a specific degree of improvement in the rate at

which it paid out charitable dollars. Specifically, if

current "qualifying distributions" exceeded a 5-year

average of qualifying distributions plus 1 percent of

current net investment income, a foundation qualified

for the reduced tax rate for 1998.

Data for domestic foundations reporting excise

tax on net investment income for 1998 are presented

in Figure E. Net investment income rose to $39.3

billion, a 13-percent increase over 1997. Foundations

assets, 96 percent, in investments. This category of

assets includes savings and temporary cash investments, securities (corporate stock and bonds and

Government obligations), and "other investments."

The "other investments" category represents an

aggregation of several line items, and includes such

items as investments in land, buildings, and equipment; mortgage loans; and "other investments,"

including advances, certificates of investments, and

investments in art, coins, gold, and gems.

More than 80 percent of all assets ($317.9 billion)

were held in securities, investments which increased

17 percent over the prior year. Corporate stock

holdings increased 21 percent and accounted for 78

percent of total investments in securities. Investments in corporate bonds increased at a rate of 15

percent, while Government obligations decreased by

more than 7 percent from 1997.

CompositionofInvestmentAssetsbySizeofFoundation

Asset growth figures prominently in creating the

financial basis for private foundation charitable

giving. Foundations use investments as the basis to

finance their charitable giving, which is made largely

in the form of grants.

Foundations may choose the manner in which

they manage and invest their assets. Investments in

corporate stock are considered to be high-risk, but

also provide higher returns in the long run, while

short-term investments, such as temporary cash

investments, have little risk but less return. Large

foundations generally invest extensively in corporate

stock and other long-term investments and relatively

little in short-term investments, while small and medium foundations, while still holding large portions of

assets in corporate stock, are more likely than large

foundations to include short-term investments in their

portfolios.

Figure F shows the composition of investment

assets for all foundations, by size of foundation.

Corporate stock was the major investment asset for

each size category of foundation for 1998. Small

foundations held 51 percent of their investment assets

in corporate stock, medium foundations held 60

percent, and large foundations held 68 percent. Savings and temporary cash investments, the category

representing short-term investments, represented 19

IncomeYieldsandRatesofTotalReturn

An income yield is a measure of the realized investment income that a foundation earns on its

investment assets. Figure G shows median "net

investment income yields" and "rates of total return

on assets" for nonoperating foundations, by asset-size

class, for 1998. Both the mean and the median,

which minimizes the influences of large outliers in the

data and may therefore better represent a typical

foundation than the mean value, are calculated. The

net investment income (NII) yield was calculated by

dividing net investment income by the end-of-year

fair market value of investment assets [16]. These

data are presented for nonoperating foundations, as

only they are subject to the charitable payout requirement, discussed below. As in previous years, large

foundations earned higher income yields for 1998

than other size classes, while small foundations

earned smaller yields on net income. This may

indicate that large foundations typically invest in

higher-risk investment assets with the potential for

greater return, while smaller foundations invest more

cautiously, perhaps because they have fewer resources to expend toward investment management.

Further insight into foundation investment return

can be gained by examining data for the rate of total

return on assets. This measure, which represents the

total capital appreciation of the endowment of a

foundation, is a more comprehensive indication of

total investment performance than the NII yield. The

rate-of-total-return formula used here measures the

change in the value of the entire asset base with

consideration for inflows and outflows of money,

such as contributions received and grants paid [17].

It measures the realized income from investments

and other assets, as well as the unrealized appreciation or depreciation in the fair market value of assets.

Like net investment income yields, rates of total

return generally increase with foundation size, indicating that rates of return on assets increase as asset

holdings grow. Median rates of return for 1998 were

higher than net investment income yields for all

foundation-size classes, excepting the smallest organizations, those with less than $100,000 in total fair

market value of assets.

CharitablePayoutRequirementandQualifying

Distributions

The charitable payout requirement applies to nonoperating foundations only and refers to the

requirement, under the Economic Recovery Tax Act

of 1981, that these foundations distribute a specific

amount annually for charitable purposes.

Each year, nonoperating foundations must calculate a "distributable amount," based on the fair market

value of their investment assets, which must be

distributed by the end of the next reporting year in

order to avoid a tax penalty. The distributable

amount, or required payout amount, equals 5 percent

of the fair market value of the organization's net

investment assets (the "minimum investment return"),

plus or minus certain adjustments, either allowed or

required [18]. The charitable payout requirement

may be fulfilled by a combination of "qualifying distributions" from the current year and carryovers (distributions paid in excess of the minimum required

amount) from the previous 5 years. Qualifying distributions for 1998 consisted primarily of contributions

and grants (90 percent), with smaller proportions for

Domestic Private Foundations and Charitable Trusts, 1998

operating and administrative expenses (7 percent),

"set-asides" for future charitable distributions (1

percent), program-related investments (e.g., loans to

other 501(c)(3) organizations) (1 percent), and

amounts paid to acquire charitable-use assets (e.g.,

buildings, equipment, or supplies) (1 percent).

Qualifying distributions for nonoperating foundations totaled $21.2 billion for 1998, a 20-percent

increase from 1997 and outpaced the required distributable amount, which rose by 17 percent to $15.8

billion. Large foundations increased their qualifying

distributions by 21 percent, medium foundations by 12

percent, and small foundations by a substantial 42

percent.

Of those foundations with a minimum payout

requirement, 60 percent met or exceeded the requirement for 1998 in that reporting year. Those foundations that did not meet this requirement had until the

end of the following reporting year to distribute the

remaining amount. As the annual payout amount is

not calculated until the end of the reporting year and

is based on the monthly average of investment assets,

many foundations choose to take advantage of the 1year tax-and-penalty-free "grace period" for making

these distributions. More than 52 percent of all large

foundations chose to wait until the following year to

fulfill the requirement; 46 percent of medium and 37

percent of small foundations also elected to meet the

distribution requirement in Reporting Year 1999.

While some foundations do not meet the distribution requirement for a given reporting year and

choose to make those distributions in the following

year, others make distributions which far surpass the

required amount. Small foundations generally make

distributions well over the requirement, and distributed nearly 400 percent more than their required

amounts for 1998. Large foundations, on the other

hand, exceeded the requirement by just 10 percent.

Operating foundations, although not subject to the

same charitable payout requirement as nonoperating

foundations, are required to expend a minimum

amount annually on the direct operation of their

charitable activities and programs. These expenditures count as "qualifying distributions" toward meeting the operating foundation requirements.

Payout Rates

To better analyze the rates at which foundations

fulfill the charitable payout requirement, the actual

payout rates must be examined. To calculate the

payout rate, the amount of (adjusted) qualifying

distributions is divided by the amount of the average

of net investment assets [19]. Median and mean

payout rates for 1998, by size of foundation, are

displayed in Figure H.

For medium and large foundations, median payout rates were at the required 5 percent. Small

foundations, which generally concentrate their efforts

on current rather than long-term charitable giving,

exceeded the required amount, with the smallest

foundations surpassing the required amount by the

largest margin. The mean payout rates, which far

exceed the required amount for small foundations,

illustrate the degree to which smaller foundations

exceeded their larger counterparts in meeting the

payout requirement.

Section4947(a)(1)NonexemptCharitable

Trusts

DefinitionandOverview

Unlike section 501(c)(3) organizations such as private

foundations, charitable trusts described under Internal

Revenue Code section 4947(a)(1) are not formally

recognized by the Internal Revenue Service as tax-

53

Domestic Private Foundations and Charitable Trusts, 1998

exempt. These organizations resemble private

foundations in that they have exclusively charitable

purposes, have narrow bases of support and control,

and are required to file Form 990-PF. Generally,

these types of organizations are supported and

controlled by an individual or family. Any income

which is not distributed for charitable purposes is

annually subject to tax and is reported on Form 1041,

Fiduciary Income Tax Return, for which no data

are included in this article.

Also not covered in this article are publiclysupported section 4947(a)(1) charitable trusts and

split-interest trusts. Publicly-supported section

4947(a)(1) charitable trusts, those which receive the

majority of their support from public (rather than

private) sources file Form 990. These trusts typically

operate in connection with, and provide support to,

one or more public charities. Organizations known as

split-interest trusts, which have both charitable and

noncharitable beneficiaries, complete Form 5227,

Split-Interest Trust Information Return [20]. As

with private foundations, data for charitable trusts

organized abroad but required to file Form 990-PF

are not included in this article.

Section 4947(a)(1) charitable trusts represented

only 4 percent of Forms 990-PF filed for 1998.

These organizations filed 2,667 returns, 10 percent

less than for 1997. Data on the number of returns

filed, as well as asset, revenue, and expense items for

1997 and 1998 are shown in Figure I. Among these

organizations, 97 percent were classified as nonoperating and 91 percent as grantmaking.

The following classifications apply, unless otherwise indicated, to the discussion of charitable trusts

throughout the remainder of this article: "small charitable trusts" refers to the group holding less than $1

million in assets (including trusts that either do not

report assets or that report assets equal to zero);

"medium-size charitable trusts" refers to the group

holding from $1 million to less than $10 million in

assets, and "large charitable trusts" refers to the

group holding $10 million or more in assets. On

average, medium and large-sized trusts are much

smaller than foundations in those size groups.

CharitableTrustsRevenueandAssets

Total revenue slipped to $581 million for charitable

trusts in 1998, a 9-percent decrease. Contributions

received, net gain from sale of assets, and dividends

and interest from securities comprised 93 percent of

that amount. A significant increase of 15 percent in

contributions received was diminished by decreases

of 21 percent and 1 percent, in net gain from sales of

assets and dividends and interest from securities,

respectively.

Despite the decrease in revenue from net gain

from sales of assets, this item was the largest component of charitable trust revenue, representing 48

percent of the total, as shown in Figure J. Smaller

proportions of revenue included dividends and interest

from securities (23 percent) and contributions received (22 percent).

payments and program-related investment income.

Net investment income totaling $444 million was

reported for 1998. Like foundations, most charitable

trusts are required to pay an excise tax on their net

investment income. For 1998, some $6.6 million in

excise tax were reported by charitable trusts filing

Form 990-PF. Of the charitable trusts that paid this

tax, 30 percent qualified for the reduced rate of 1

percent, while most others paid tax on 2 percent of

investment income.

For 1998, assets held by charitable trusts totaled

$5.1 billion, an 8-percent increase from 1997. Small

charitable trusts, which accounted for 70 percent of

returns filed, represented only 12 percent of total

asset holdings. In contrast, 48 percent of total asset

holdings were reported by large trusts, which represented just 3 percent of these organizations.

Like private foundations, charitable trusts hold

the majority of assets as investments. More than 97

percent of charitable trust assets were held as investments for 1998, the majority of which were investments in securities. The composition of charitable

trust investment assets is shown in Figure K. Holdings in corporate stock, which increased 11 percent

from 1997, represented 57 percent of total investment

holdings. Investments in corporate bonds, at 14

percent, were the second-largest component of

investment assets, followed by "other investments,"

which include investments in land, buildings, and

equipment, investments in mortgage loans, advances,

certificates of investments, industrial development

bonds, and investments such as art or coins.

CharitableTrustDistributions

There were $257 million in contributions, gifts, and

grants paid by section 4947(a)(1) trusts for 1998,

some 15 percent more than for 1997. Nonoperating

charitable trusts paid out $273 million in qualifying

distributions, 94 percent of which was made up of

grants. Small charitable trusts distributed nearly

three times more than the distributable amount, while

medium and large trusts each distributed 4 percent

less than the required amount.

November 1999) were required by IRS to file a Form

990-PF. Some part-year returns were included in the

samples for organizations that changed their accounting periods, or filed initial or final returns. Some 66

percent of the domestic private foundations in the

sample had accounting periods covering Calendar

Year 1998 or, in some cases, part-year periods that

ended in December 1998. For domestic charitable

trusts, 59 percent filed calendar year returns. The

1998 sample was stratified based on both the size of

fair market value of total assets and the type of

organization (either a private foundation or a

4947(a)(1) charitable trust).

Foundation returns were selected at rates that

ranged from approximately 0.7 percent (for the more

numerous but very small asset-size returns) to 100

percent (for the relatively few returns with large

amounts of assets). Charitable trust returns were

selected at rates that ranged from 1.5 percent to 100

56

unusually large revenue and expense amounts for 1998.

The samples were designed to provide reliable

estimates of total assets and total revenue. To accomplish this, 100 percent of foundation returns with

fair market asset value of $10 million or more and

100 percent of charitable trust returns with fair market asset value of $1 million or more were included in

the samples, since these were the returns that accounted for the majority of financial activity. The

populations and sample rates and sizes for each asset

size class are shown in Figure M. Efforts were

made to verify that organizations that were selected

for the sample were properly classified as foundations or trusts. The relatively small number of foundations in the sample that were incorrectly selected

as trusts were ultimately reclassified as foundations

(for the statistics) using identification codes from the

IRS Exempt Organization Master File. However, the

weights used for these organizations were based on

the original sample selection classification. These

same methods were used for the trusts that were

incorrectly sampled as foundations.

Approximately 7 percent of all foundations,

including those reclassified as foundations, reported

$10 million or more in fair market value of total

assets for 1998. While these foundations were

selected at a rate of 100 percent, the remaining

foundation population was randomly selected for the

sample at various rates of less than 100 percent

depending on asset size: 0.7 percent for returns with

assets zero, unreported, or less than $125,000; 1.3

percent for returns with assets of $125,000 to less

than $400,000; 2.7 percent for returns with assets of

$400,000 to less than $1 million; 7.1 percent for

returns with assets of $1 million to less than $2.5

million; and 34.3 percent for returns with assets of

$2.5 million to less than $10 million.

Approximately 25 percent of all 4947(a)(1)

charitable trusts reported $1 million or more in fair

market value of total assets for 1998. While these

trusts were selected at a rate of 100 percent, the

remaining trust population was randomly selected for

the sample at various rates of less than 100 percent

depending on asset size: 1.5 percent for returns with

assets zero, unreported, or less than $100,000; and

10.8 percent for returns with assets of $100,000 to

less than $1 million.

The population from which the 1998 sample was

drawn consisted of Form 990-PF records posted to

the IRS Business Master File during 1998 and 1999.

Some of the records designated were for organizations that were deemed inactive or terminated. Inactive and terminated organizations are not reflected in

the estimates. Approximately 2,500 of the private

foundations that were included in the 1997 population

data did not file returns with IRS for 1998. Additionally, nearly 6,400 returns were filed for 1998 by

private foundations that did not appear in the 1997

population. Of those nonexempt charitable trusts for

which returns appeared in the 1997 population, nearly

200 did not have subsequent 1998 population entries.

Approximately 300 new returns appeared for nonexempt charitable trusts in the 1998 population.

The data presented were obtained from returns

as originally filed with IRS. The data were subject to

comprehensive testing and correction procedures in

order to ensure statistical reliability and validity. In

cases where returns were incorrectly filed, were

blank, were duplicates of previously entered data, or

had other types of problems, returns were "rejected"

from the final sample. In most cases, changes made

to the original return as a result of administrative

processing, audit procedures, or a taxpayer amendment were not incorporated. A general discussion of

the reliability of estimates based on samples, methods

for evaluating both the magnitude of sampling and

non-sampling error, and the precision of sample

estimates can be found in the general Appendix to

this issue of the SOI Bulletin.

references to foundations also apply to trusts.

Adjusted Net Income.--In general, this is the

amount by which a private foundation's gross income

exceeded the expenses associated with earning the

income. Amounts derived from, or connected with,

property held by the foundation, such as net shortterm capital gain, ordinary investment income (dividends, interest, rents, and royalties), and income from

amounts set aside for future charitable use, from all

charitable functions, or from unrelated trade or business activities were included in this calculation.

Excluded items were contributions received and longterm capital gains. Long-term capital losses could be

reported as "other expenses" for the calculation of

adjusted net income. This item is primarily used to

determine if an operating foundation met the required

"income test." This test is used to determine whether

the operating foundation spent the vast majority of its

investment income on the direct, active conduct of

tax-exempt charitable activities. See Operating

Foundations (and Charitable Trusts) in this section.

This item was reported on Form 990-PF, Part I, line

27c, column (c).

Assets Zero or Unreported.--This asset-size

category included: (1) final returns of liquidating or

dissolving foundations that had disposed of all assets;

(2) returns of those foundations reporting zero endof-year assets that had apparently distributed (or

disposed of) all assets and income received during

the year; and (3) returns of those foundations that did

not report assets. A liquidating or dissolving foundation is required to transfer its assets on to another

foundation or to a public charity.

Capital Gain Net Income.--This is the amount

of net gains from sales or dispositions of property

used for investment purposes (property used for

charitable purposes was excluded). Capital losses

from the sale or other disposition of property could be

subtracted from capital gains only to the extent of

such gains. Capital gain net income was used in the

computation of "net investment income" (on which an

excise tax generally had to be paid). In contrast, the

net gain (or loss) per the books from the sale of all

assets (other than inventory), including those used for

both investment and charitable purposes, was reported as "net gain (or loss) from the sale of assets"

on Form 990-PF, Part I, line 6, column (a). This item,

capital gain net income, was reported on Form 990PF, Part I, line 7, column (b).

Charitable Trust.--A charitable trust, also referred to as a "nonexempt" charitable trust, is defined in Internal Revenue Code section 4947(a)(1) as

an organization (1) that is not considered tax-exempt

under section 501(a); (2) that has exclusively charitable interests; and (3) that has amounts in trust for

which donors are allowed to claim a tax deduction for

charitable contributions. Nonexempt charitable trusts

that are not publicly supported are subject to the

excise tax provisions that apply to private foundations

and are required to file the same Form 990-PF.

("Publicly supported" nonexempt charitable trusts are

required to file Form 990, Return of Organization

Exempt From Income Tax, and are, therefore, not

included in these statistics.) Nonexempt charitable

trusts that are treated as private foundations must

pay an annual tax on income (usually from investments) that is not distributed for charitable purposes,

and they must report such income and tax on Form

1041, U.S. Fiduciary Income Tax Return. Data

from this form are not included in this article.

Disbursements for Exempt Purposes.--These

deductions comprised the largest component of

"qualifying distributions" and include grants paid,

operating expenses, and necessary and reasonable

administrative expenditures for activities that were

directly related to the tax-exempt purposes of the

foundation. These amounts were determined solely

on the basis of the cash receipts and disbursements

method of accounting, as required by law and regulations. This item was reported on Form 990-PF, Part

I, line 26, column (d).

Disqualified Person.--In general, a disqualified

person is a substantial contributor,; a foundation

manager; person who owns more than 20 percent of

a corporation, partnership, trust, or unincorporated

enterprise that is itself a substantial contributor; or a

family member of one of the types of disqualified

persons described above.

Distributable (Payout) Amount.--This is the

minimum payout amount that was required to be

distributed by nonoperating foundations by the end of

the year following the year for which the return was

Domestic Private Foundations and Charitable Trusts, 1998

filed. Failure to distribute income within this time

period resulted in a 15-percent excise tax on the

undistributed portion. The distributable amount was

computed as 5 percent of net investment assets,

called the "minimum investment return," minus the

excise tax on net investment income and the income

tax under Subtitle A, plus or minus other adjustments,

either allowed or required (see Net Adjustments to

Distributable Amount in this section).

Excess Distributions Carryover.--This is the

amount distributed, after fulfilling the charitable

payout requirement, that equaled the excess of qualifying distributions for 1998 over the distributable

amount. If necessary, excess amounts from the

current year could be carried forward to be applied to

the distributable amount for the 5 following years.

This item was reported on Form 990-PF, Part XIII,

line 9.

Grantmaking Foundations (and Charitable

Trusts).--For the statistics in this article, grantmaking

foundations and trusts are those organizations that

reported $1 or more in contributions, gifts, and grants

paid for charitable purposes on Form 990-PF, Part I,

line 25, column (d).

Inventories.--The value of materials, goods, and

supplies purchased or manufactured by the organization and held for sale or use in some future period is

included in this item. This item was reported on

Form 990-PF, Part II, line 8, columns (a) (beginningof-year book value), (b) (end-of-year book value),

and (c) (end-of-year fair market value).

Land, Buildings, and Equipment, Charitableuse.--This represents either the book value (less

accumulated depreciation) or fair market value of all

land, buildings, and equipment not held for investment

purposes and used by the organization in conducting

its charitable activities. This item was reported on

Form 990-PF, Part II, line 14, columns (a) (beginningof-year book value), (b) (end-of-year book value),

and (c) (end-of-year fair market value).

Land, Buildings, and Equipment, Investmentuse.--This represents either the book value (less

accumulated depreciation) or fair market value of all

land, buildings, and equipment held for investment

purposes, such as rental properties. This item was

reported on Form 990-PF, Part II, line 11, columns

(a) (beginning-of-year book value), (b) (end-of-year

book value), and (c) (end-of-year fair market value).

Minimum Investment Return.--This is the aggregate fair market value of assets not used for charitable purposes, less both the indebtedness incurred to

acquire these assets and the cash held for charitable

activities, multiplied by 5 percent. The minimum

investment return was used as the base for calculating the "distributable amount." This item was reported on Form 990-PF, Part X, line 6.

Net Adjustments to Distributable Amount.-Adjustments that increase the "distributable amount"

consist of increases attributable to the income portion

(as distinct from the principal portion) of distributions

from split-interest trusts on amounts placed in trust

after May 26, 1969. (A split-interest trust is a trust

that is not exempt from tax and not all of whose

interests are devoted to charitable, religious, educational, and like purposes, but that have amounts in

trust for which a charitable contribution deduction

was allowed. These organizations file Form 5227,

Split-Interest Trust Information Return.) Recoveries of amounts previously treated as qualifying distributions also had to be added back to the distributable

amount. Adjustments that decreased the distributable

amount were the result of income required to be

accumulated by the terms of an organization's governing instrument. These adjustments were allowed

only for foundations or trusts organized before May

27, 1969, whose governing instrument continued to

require such accumulation, because State Courts

would not allow the organization to change its governing instrument. These items were reported on

Form 990-PF, Part XI, lines 4a, 4b, and 6.

Net Gain (or Loss) from Sales of Assets.-Profits and losses from sales of items such as securities, land, buildings, or equipment are included in this

item. Gain or loss reflected the amount shown on the

books of the foundation and included any amount

from the sale of property used for either investment

or tax-exempt charitable purposes. Most of the gain

or loss was from sales of stocks and bonds. Profit or

loss from the sale of inventory items was not included in this item, but was rather included in gross

profit (loss) from business activities. This item was

reported on Form 990-PF, Part I, line 6, column (a).

Net Investment Assets (Noncharitable-use

Assets).--For purposes of calculating the "minimum

investment return," only the average (as calculated

monthly), rather than end-of-year, fair market value

59

Domestic Private Foundations and Charitable Trusts, 1998

60

60

of assets that were not used or held for use for

charitable purposes enters into the computation. An

asset was considered an investment asset if it was

not used in carrying out a charitable, educational, or

other similar function which gave rise to the taxexempt status of the foundation. Examples include

the fair market value of securities and rental property

owned by the foundation for investment purposes.

The asset amounts reported on the balance sheet in

Part II of Form 990-PF included both investment and

charitable-use assets. This item, which was reported

on Form 990-PF, Part X, line 5, is not shown separately in the tables of this article. However, "minimum investment return," which is based on net investment assets, is shown in the tables.

Net Investment Income.--This is the amount by

which the sum of gross investment income plus

realized capital gain net income exceeds allowable

deductions. Included in investment income were

interest, dividends, capital gain net income, rents,

payments with respect to securities loans (as defined

in Code section 512(a)(5)), and royalties. Any investment income derived from unrelated trade or

business activities that were subject to the "unrelated

business income" tax reported on Form 990-T, Exempt Organization Business Income Tax Return,

was excluded. This item was reported on Form 990PF, Part I, line 27b, column (b).

Nonoperating Foundations (and Charitable

Trusts).--These are organizations that generally

carried on their charitable activities in an indirect

manner by making grants to other organizations

directly engaged in charitable activities, in contrast to

operating foundations and trusts that engaged in

charitable activities themselves. However, some

nonoperating foundations and trusts were actively

involved in charitable programs of their own, in addition to making grants. Nonoperating foundations and

trusts were subject to an excise tax (and possible

additional penalties) for failure to distribute an annual

minimum amount for charitable purposes within a

required time period. An organization's status as a

nonoperating foundation or trust was indicated on

Form 990-PF, Part VII, line 9.

Operating Foundations (and Charitable

Trusts).--These organizations generally expended

their incomes for direct, active involvement in a taxexempt activity, such as operating a library or mu-

seum, or conducting scientific research. Operating

foundations and trusts were excepted from the income distribution requirement and related excise

taxes that were applicable to their nonoperating

counterparts. To qualify as an operating foundation

or trust for 1998, the foundation or trust had to meet

both an "income test" and one of three other tests: an

"assets test," an "endowment test," or a "support test."

To meet the income test, a foundation or trust

had to spend at least 85 percent of the lesser of its

"adjusted net income" or "minimum investment return" on the direct, active conduct of tax-exempt,

charitable activities (as opposed to the payout of

grants in support of such programs). Simply put, to

meet the assets test, a foundation or trust had to

directly use 65 percent or more of its assets for the

active conduct of charitable activities. To meet the

endowment test, a foundation or trust had to regularly

make distributions for the active conduct of charitable

activities in an amount not less than two-thirds of its

"minimum investment return." To meet the support

test, a foundation or trust had to regularly receive

substantially all of its support (other than from gross

investment income) from the public or from five or

more qualifying exempt organizations, and (a) no

more than 25 percent of its support (other than from

gross investment income) from any one such qualifying exempt organization; and (b) no more than 50

percent of its support from gross investment income.

Distributions made by a private nonoperating

foundation or trust to an operating foundation or trust

qualified toward meeting the nonoperating

organization's distribution requirement. (Distributions

made by one nonoperating foundation or trust to

another were subject to a number of conditions and

restrictions requiring a "pass-through" of the distribution, whereby the donor organization received credit

for a qualifying distribution but the donee organization

did not.) Additionally, contributions to operating

foundations or trusts were deductible on the donors'

individual income tax returns, up to 50 percent of

their "adjusted gross incomes" (as opposed to 30

percent for contributions to nonoperating foundations).

While most operating foundations paid the excise

tax on net investment income, 17 percent of operating

foundations were considered exempt from this tax for

1998 under section 4940(d)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code. In order to be exempt, an operating

Domestic Private Foundations and Charitable Trusts, 1998

foundation was required to meet the following requirements in any given year: (1) maintain public

support for a minimum of 10 taxable years; (2) maintain a governing body at all times that is broadly

representative of the general public and that is comprised of no more than 25 percent disqualified individuals; and (3) at no time during the year include a

disqualified individual as an officer of the foundation.

An organization's status as an operating foundation or

trust was indicated on Form 990-PF, Part VII, line 9.

Other Assets.--This category includes: (1) those

assets not allocable to a specific asset item on the

Form 990-PF balance sheet or not included elsewhere on the return; and (2) certain amounts given

special treatment in the course of statistical processing. The first category included such items as dividends receivable, escrow deposits, income tax refunds, interest discounts, interest-free loans, overdraft

protection, and program-related investments. The

second category included atypical amounts reported

by the return filer as "negative liabilities." These

items were reported on Form 990-PF, Part II, line 15,

columns (a) beginning-of-year book value, (b) end-ofyear book value, and (c) end-of-year fair market

value.

Other Investments.--Investments reported as

"other" include such items as advances, bank certificates of deposit, cash values of life insurance, certificates of investment, miscellaneous loan income, and

holdings in art, coins, gold, and gems. These items

were reported on Form 990-PF, Part II, line 13, columns

(a) beginning-of-year book value, (b) end-of-year

book value, and (c) end-of-year fair market value.

Private Foundation.--A private foundation is

defined in Internal Revenue Code section 501(c)(3)

as a nonprofit organization with a narrow source of

funds that operated or supported educational, scientific, charitable, religious, and other programs dedicated to improving the general welfare of society. A

private foundation qualified for tax-exempt status

under Code section 501(c)(3) but was not (1) a

church, school, hospital, or medical research organization; (2) an organization with broad public support

in the form of contributions or income from taxexempt activities; (3) an organization that was operated by, or in connection with, any of the above

described organizations; or (4) an organization that

conducted tests for public safety. The primary difference between a private foundation and a public

charity was the sources of the organization's funding.

A foundation was typically funded primarily by an

individual, a family, or a corporation, while a public

charity received its funds from a large number of

sources among the general public.

Qualifying Distributions.--Qualifying distributions include disbursements for charitable purposes

(grants, direct expenditures to accomplish charitable

purposes, and charitable-purpose operating and

administrative expenses); amounts paid to acquire

assets used directly to accomplish tax-exempt functions; charitable program-related investments; and

amounts set aside for future charitable projects.

Qualifying distributions could be credited against the

foundation's or trust's obligation to pay out its "distributable amount." This item was reported on Form

990-PF, Part XII, line 4.

Rate of Total Return.--The formula for the rate

of total return was calculated as follows:

Rate of Total Return =

[Ending Fair Market Value of Assets

- Indexed Beginning Fair Market Value of Assets

- Contributions Received

+ Grants Paid

+ Operating and Administrative Expenses

+ Excise Tax Paid on Net Investment Income]

DIVIDED BY

-----------------------------------------------[Indexed Beginning Fair Market Value of Assets

+ 50 percent of Contributions Received]

To calculate the rate of total return shown in

Figure G, samples of private foundation information

returns for 1997 and 1998 were matched in order to

analyze both the beginning and end-of-year fair

market value data.

The beginning fair market value of assets for

1998 equals the ending fair market value reported on

the 1997 tax return. Thus, in order to provide a

consistent form of measurement by which to compare

rates of total return among different years, the ending

fair market value of asset amounts (reported for both

the year subject to the computation and the prior year)

was used to compute the rate of return. In order to

obtain an inflation-adjusted real rate of return, the

figure equaling the beginning-of-year fair market

value of assets was indexed based on the 1992 chaintype price index for Gross Domestic Product as

published by the Bureau of Economic Analysis.

Set-Asides.--Amounts set aside for specific

charitable purposes can be treated as qualifying

distributions only if the foundation or charitable trust

establishes to the satisfaction of the IRS that the

amount will be paid for the specific project within 60

months from the date of the first set-aside and if the

foundation meets either the suitability test or the cash

distribution test. To meet the suitability test, a foundation must receive prior approval from the IRS and

must demonstrate that the project can be better

accomplished by a set-aside than by an immediate

payment of funds. To meet the cash distribution test

under IR Code section 4942(g)(2)(B)(ii), a foundation

must complete a schedule with its annual return

showing how the requirements are met. The foundation must submit a schedule for the year of the setaside and for each subsequent year until the set-aside

amount has been distributed. Set-asides were reported on Form 990-PF, Part XII, lines 3a and 3b.

Total Assets.—This is the sum of all assets

reported in the foundation's balance sheet, shown at

both book value and fair market value. Total assets

were reported on Form 990-PF, Part II, line 16,

columns (a) beginning-of-year book value, (b) end-ofyear book value, and (c) end-of-year fair market value.

Total Expenses.--This is the sum of contributions, gifts, and grants paid, plus various operating and

administrative expenses related to both investment

and charitable-purpose activities. Total expense

items were reported as shown on the books and

records of the foundation and were based on either

the cash receipts and disbursement or the accrual

method of accounting. Total expenses were reported

on Form 990-PF, Part I, line 26, column (a).

Total Revenue.--This is the sum of gross contributions, gifts, and grants received; interest on savings

and temporary cash investments; dividends and

interest from securities; net gain (or loss) from sales

of assets (mostly investment assets, but also charitable-use assets); gross rents and royalties; gross

profit (or loss) from business activities; and other

income (such as royalty income, program-related

investment income, interest earned on assets used for

charitable purposes, and imputed interest on certain

deferred payments). These other income items were

reported on Form 990-PF, Part I, line 11, column (a).

Total revenue items, which included both investment

and charitable-use items, were reported as shown on

the books and records of the foundation, and were

based on either the cash receipts and disbursements

method or the accrual method of accounting. Total

revenues were reported on Form 990-PF, Part I, line

12, column (a).

Undistributed Income.--This is the portion of

the required "distributable amount" still undistributed

after applying against it the sum of current-year

qualifying distributions and any excess distributions

carried over from prior years. Sanctions were imposed in the form of excise taxes on private foundations that did not pay out an amount equal to the

"distributable amount" by the end of the following tax

year. This item was reported on Form 990-PF, Part

XIII, line 6f, column (d).

Unrelated Business Income (UBI).--This is an

exempt organization's income from a trade or business that was regularly carried on by the organization

and that was not substantially related to the performance of the organization's exempt purpose or function (other than that the organization needed the

profits derived from the unrelated activity). The term

"trade or business" generally comprised any activity

carried on for the production of income from selling

goods or performing services. A tax, as reported on

Form 990-T, Exempt Organization Business Income

Tax Return, is imposed on "unrelated business taxable

income (UBTI)." Unrelated business taxable income

is gross unrelated business income, less deductions

directly connected with carrying on the trade or business, and less certain other deductions. The unrelated business income tax was determined based on

the corporate or trust tax rates that were in effect for

a given tax year. (Gross) unrelated business income

and the associated business codes were reported on

Form 990-PF, Part XVI-A, columns (a) and (b).

[19] To calculate the payout rate, the amount of

(adjusted) qualifying distributions was divided

by the amount of the monthly average of net

investment (or noncharitable-use) assets. This

payout formula adjusts qualifying distributions

with additions and subtractions that are made to

the required "distributable amount" on Form

990-PF. The numerator of the formula also

includes excess distributions made in the past

and applied to the requirement of the current

filing year.

* Estimate should be used with caution because of the small number of sample returns on which it is based.

¹ The data shown in columns 18 and 19 are based on the amount of contributions, gifts, and grants that foundations actually disbursed for charitable purposes for 1998 using

the cash receipts and disbursement method of accounting. These amounts differ somewhat from those reported as contributions, gifts, and grants paid shown in the income

statement because foundations may use either the cash receipts and disbursement or the accrual method of accounting.

NOTE: Detail may not add to totals because of rounding.
