Wishes change lives.
Then
Now
Annual Report 2013
D
uring the last 30 years, Make-A-Wish® Greater Pennsylvania and
West Virginia has given more than 15,000 kids living with
life-threatening medical conditions a reason to hope. For most of these
kids, their wish wasn’t just a nice experience for a day or a week -- it
marked a turning point in their battle against their medical condition.
Just ask Zack, Cherie, Michael, Brittany and Andrew. For these wish
kids, as well as 97% of adult former wish kids surveyed by Make-A-Wish®
America, the wish experience improved their mental and emotional health.
Furthermore, an amazing 83% said their wishes improved their physical
health and strength.
When you contribute to Make-A-Wish, you’re not just helping to give kids
a great trip or a nice gift. You’re helping to change their lives. Thank you
for sharing the power of a wish.
Looking back years after their wish experiences,
71% of adult former wish kids said their wishes
contributed to saving their lives.
Michael
(a.k.a. Beetle Boy)
Wish Age: 6, Age Now: 20
cystic fibrosis
I wish to be a superhero!
1999
“It made me
optimistic, very
optimistic and
showed me that I can
do anything and be
anyone if I believe
that I can.”
F
Now
ourteen years ago, Michael
spent the day as ‘Beetle Boy,’
Pittsburgh’s very own villain-fighting
superhero, saving the Steel City from
the Green Goblin. Now, at age 20,
Michael no longer has to worry about
the awful antics of the Green Goblin,
as he shares his life with his fiancée,
Rachel, and works a part-time job.
When looking back upon his day spent
as a superhero, it still makes
Michael feel amazing.
Cherie
2001
sickle cell anemia
I wish to go to
Walt Disney World®!
F
or Cherie, Make-A-Wish
“completely went over and above”
for her trip to the Disney theme parks.
It was her first plane ride, and she says
cannot even begin to explain the
magic she felt while staying at Give
Kids the World. Although she is still
battling sickle cell anemia and recently
had a bone marrow transplant,
remembering her wish helps her keep a
positive attitude. She said the “rest of
my NOW story is to be continued.”
“I can hold on to these old
memories and remain a
wish kid. Not just to stay
in that Dreamland, but
to know there are kind, loving
people out there willing to
volunteer their time for the families
who are hurt or broken, and that
one wish can change someone’s
attitude from negative to a positive.”
Now
Zack
rhabdomyosarcoma
I wish to have a
T-rex dinosaur!
2005
“Make-A-Wish made a
big difference in my
recovery because it gave
me a day of hope. It was a
day I didn’t have to think
about hospitals and
being sick.”
Z
ack will never forget the day
his wish came true. After spending
the day as a paleontologist with visits
to the local zoo and museum, the dinosaur
connoisseur followed “dinosaur tracks”
back to his home. And there he saw Meaty,
a seven-foot T-rex of his very own. Zack’s
wish marked a turning point in his battle
against cancer. Zack, now 14-years-old
and cancer free, is helping other kids
experience the same magic that he did
through speaking, volunteering
and even fundraising.
Now
Andrew
2004
Refractory/Intractable Epilpesy
I wish to go to
the NBA All-Star Game!
W
“To know that there
are people like
Make-A-Wish® in this
world is what makes
it a better place and
one that I am proud
to be a part of.”
Now
hen Andrew’s wish was
granted to see the NBA AllStar Game, his perspective on
his disease completely changed.
Instead of thinking about quitting, he strived to keep going.
In the last 10 years, Andrew
has accomplished everything he
wanted and more. After playing
basketball all four years of high
school, he moved on to continue playing at junior college,
where he met his future wife. He
later graduated from the University of Pittsburgh with a Degree in Communications, got
married, and bought a house
and a puppy. Now, on the10year anniversary of his wish, Andrew still has symptoms of epilepsy, but is overcoming them.
He looks back on the last 10
years that have been a rollercoaster of ups and downs and
believes that his wish helped him
to get through the tough times.
Andrew visits the Make-A-Wish office and finds his
name on the Wall of Wishes.
2006
Brittany
neurofibromatosis
I wish to go to
Walt Disney World®!
W
hen
Brittany was diagnosed
with neurofibromatosis., it was
a frightening and uncertain time for
her as she was experiencing
seizures, diagnosed with multiple brain
tumors and spending countless days in the
hospital. When granted a wish, Brittany was
excited because it would be the first family
outing in months that wasn’t to the doctor’s
office. Brittany’s wish to go camping at the Walt
Disney World® Resort was a magical wish that
combined her love of camping, a typical family
vacation for her, and her love of all things Disney.
Then, at age 20, Brittany knew she wanted to
somehow go back to the place that brought her
so much happiness. She moved to Orlando
to begin working at Disney World through
their college program. She continued
working with Disney and is now a fulltime Host Lead and Trainer at the
Rainforest Café in
Downtown Disney.
Brittany (right) and her sister,
Kasey, who is also a wish kid
Now
Brittany and her sister and now
Make-A-Wish Regional Manager
Leandra in Walt Disney World®
“I had never been to Disney and, honestly, didn’t know if I
would ever go. It was an unattainable dream place in my
mind. When I got there, I was blown away by the magic.
Being sick isn’t a part of those memories. I wasn’t scared at
that point. I felt like I could do anything and that everything
would be okay.”

Independent Auditors’ Report
The Board of Directors
Make-A-Wish Foundation® of Greater Pennsylvania and Southern West Virginia:
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Greater Pennsylvania
and Southern West Virginia (the Foundation), which comprise the statements of financial position as of August 31,
2013, and 2012, and the related statements of activities, functional expenses, and cash flows for the years then
ended and the related notes to the financial statements.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance
with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of
internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our
audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment, including the assessment of the
risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the
financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the
purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no
such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation
of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit
opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Make-A-Wish Foundation of Greater Pennsylvania and Southern West Virginia as of August 31, 2013,
and 2012, and the changes in its net assets and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles.
Other Matter
As discussed in note 1 to the financial statements, effective September 1, 2013, the Make-A-Wish Foundation®
of America reassigned responsibility of fulfilling the Make-A-Wish® mission within the counties currently assigned
to Make-A-Wish Foundation® of Northern West Virginia to Make-A-Wish Foundation of Greater Pennsylvania and
Southern West Virginia. In connection with the reassignment, the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Greater Pennsylvania
and Southern West Virginia changed its name to the Make-A-Wish Foundation® of Greater Pennsylvania and West
Virginia.

Notes to Financial Statements
August 31, 2013 and 2012
(1)Organization
The Make-A-Wish Foundation® of Greater Pennsylvania and Southern West Virginia (the Foundation) is a Pennsylvania not-for-profit corporation, organized for the purpose of granting wishes to children with life threatening
medical conditions. The Foundation is an independently operating chapter of the Make-A-Wish Foundation® of
America (National Organization), which operates to develop and implement national programs in public relations
and fund raising for the benefit of all local chapters. In addition, the local chapter is obligated to comply with a
chapter agreement with the National Organization and such guidelines, resolutions, and policies as may be adopted by the National Organization’s board of directors.
The Make-A-Wish Foundation of Greater Pennsylvania and Southern West Virginia entered into an agreement with
the Make-A-Wish Foundation of America, effective September 1, 2010, to assume responsibility for the Make-AWish Foundation’s mission in the Montana territory on a temporary basis. The agreement runs through August 31,
2015.
Effective September 1, 2013, the respective boards of directors of both the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Greater
Pennsylvania and Southern West Virginia (Greater Pennsylvania and Southern West Virginia) and the Make-A-Wish
Foundation® of Northern West Virginia (Northern West Virginia) adopted resolutions requesting that Make-A-Wish
Foundation of America reassign responsibility for the Make-A-Wish mission within the 32 counties currently assigned to Northern West Virginia to Greater Pennsylvania and Southern West Virginia as of September 1, 2013.
In accordance with those requests, Make-A-Wish Foundation of America’s Chapter Performance Committee approved the territory reassignment and Greater Pennsylvania and Southern West Virginia’s request to change its
name from the “Make-A-Wish Foundation of Greater Pennsylvania and Southern West Virginia” to “Make-A-Wish
Foundation® of Greater Pennsylvania and West Virginia.”
August 31, 2013 and 2012
Along with the transfer of territory, Greater Pennsylvania and Southern West Virginia will assume responsibility for
the related accrued pending wish costs as of September 1, 2013. Additionally, Greater Pennsylvania and Southern
West Virginia will become the owner of all the rights and property of Northern West Virginia after all other debts
and liabilities of Northern West Virginia are settled. No consideration was transferred in the acquisition and there
were no contingencies assumed by Greater Pennsylvania and Southern West Virginia in the acquisition. The following is a summary of the associated assets and liabilities of Northern West Virginia as of August 31, 2013, that
were transferred to Greater Pennsylvania and Southern West Virginia effective September 1, 2013:

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Basis of Presentation
The financial statements of the Foundation are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
(b) Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Foundation considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when
purchased to be cash equivalents. Included in cash and cash equivalents at August 31, 2013, and 2012 are
$74,840 and $43,503, respectively, of money market mutual funds.
(c)Investments
Investments are recorded at fair value. Investment income, including gains and losses on investments, is recorded as increases or decreases in unrestricted net assets unless its use is limited by donor imposed restrictions
or law.
(d) Contributions Receivable
Contributions receivable are unconditional promises to give and are recognized initially at fair value as contributions revenue in the period such promises are made by donors. Fair value is estimated giving consideration
to anticipated future cash receipts (after allowance is made for uncollectible contributions) and discounting
such amounts at a risk adjusted rate commensurate with the duration of the donor’s payment plan. These
inputs to the fair value estimate are considered Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. In subsequent periods, the
discount rate is unchanged and the allowance for uncollectible contributions is reassessed and adjusted if necessary. Amortization of the discounts is recorded as additional contribution revenue.
(e) Property and Equipment, Net
Property and equipment having a useful life of more than one year are capitalized at cost when purchased.
Donated assets are capitalized at the estimated fair value at the date of receipt and restrictions are released
once the asset has been placed into service. Depreciation on property and equipment is provided on a straight
line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally 3 to 7 years. Leasehold improvements are
amortized over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset or the remaining terms of the leases. The
costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend its life
are expensed as incurred.
Long lived assets, such as property and equipment, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes
in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If circumstances indicate a long lived asset may be impaired, the asset value will be reduced to fair value. Fair value is determined
through various valuation techniques including quoted market values and third party independent appraisals,
as considered necessary.
(f)
Fair Value Measurements
The Foundation follows the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 820, Fair Value
Measurements and Disclosures, for fair value measurements of financial assets and financial liabilities and for
fair value measurements of nonfinancial items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial
statements on a recurring basis. ASC Topic 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an
asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement
date. ASC Topic 820 also establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair
value measurements.
August 31, 2013 and 2012
The Foundation utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use
of unobservable inputs to the extent possible. The Foundation determines fair value based on assumptions that
market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability in the principal or most advantageous market.
When considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, the following fair value hierarchy distinguishes between observable and unobservable inputs, which are categorized in one of the following
levels:
• • • Level 1 Inputs: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (or liabilities) that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 Inputs: Prices for a similar asset (or liability), other than quoted prices included in Level 1 inputs,
that are observable for the asset (or liability), either directly or indirectly. If the asset (or liability) has a specified term, a Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset (or liability).
Level 3 Inputs: Unobservable inputs for the asset (or liability) used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset (or liability) at measurement date.
See additional information in note 3.
(g) Net Assets
The Foundation’s net assets and changes therein are classified and reported as follows:
•
Permanently restricted net assets – Net assets subject to donor imposed restrictions that the principal be
maintained in perpetuity. Generally, the donors of these assets permit the Foundation to use all or part
of the income earned on related investments for unrestricted purposes.
•
Temporarily restricted net assets – Net assets subject to restrictions imposed by donor or law that may be met either by actions of the Foundation or the passage of time.
•
Unrestricted net assets – Net assets that are not subject to donor imposed restrictions or law.
(h) Revenue Recognition
Unconditional promises to give are recorded as contributions revenue when the promise is received. Conditional promises are recorded as revenue once the conditions are substantially met. Contributions, grants, and
bequests are recognized as either temporarily or permanently restricted if they are received with donor stipulations that limit the use of the donated assets. When a donor restriction expires, temporarily restricted net assets
are reclassified to unrestricted net assets and reported in the statements of activities as net assets released
from restrictions. When restrictions are met in the same period as the contribution is received, the Foundation
records the contribution and the expense as unrestricted. Contributions of assets other than cash are recorded
at their estimated fair value. Contributions of services are recognized if the services received (a) create or enhance nonfinancial assets or (b) require specialized skills, are provided by individuals possessing those skills,
and would typically need to be purchased if not provided by donation.
August 31, 2013 and 2012
The Foundation received in kind contributions of assets and services that are included in the accompanying
statements of activities as follows:

An internal special event is a fund raising event coordinated and staffed by Foundation personnel rather than
a third party support group or organization. It is designed to attract people for the purpose of raising mission
awareness, for increasing funding from existing donors, and the cultivation of future donors. Internal special
event in-kind amounts are donated items recorded at fair market value that are used in facilitating the event.
Examples of such donated items are generally food, beverage, facility costs, and auction items.
Program or supporting services expenses were recorded at fair value totaling $2,250,229 and $1,964,273 in
2013, and 2012, respectively.
(i)
Income Taxes
The Foundation is a not for profit organization exempt from federal income and Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the State of West Virginia income taxes under the provisions of Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)
(3) and Section 509(a)(1), Pennsylvania Department of Revenue regulations and West Virginia Department
of Revenue Taxation Code §11-24-5. However, the Foundation remains subject to income taxes on any net
income that is derived from a trade or business, regularly carried on and not in furtherance of the purpose for
which it was granted exemption. No income tax provision has been recorded as the net income, if any, from
any unrelated trade or business, in the opinion of management, is not material to the financial statements taken
as a whole.
The Foundation has adopted ASC Topic 740, (Income Taxes), which prescribes a recognition threshold and
measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or
expected to be taken in a tax return, and provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and
penalties, disclosure, and transition. Management believes that no such uncertain tax positions exist for the
Foundation at August 31, 2013, or 2012.
August 31, 2013 and 2012
(j)
Functional Expenses
The Foundation performs three functions: wish granting, fundraising, and management and general. Definitions of these functions are as follows:
Wish Granting
Activities performed by the Foundation that grant wishes to children with life-threatening medical conditions.
Fundraising
Activities performed by the Foundation to generate funds and/or resources to support its programs and operations. During the fiscal years ended August 31, 2013, and 2012, the Foundation incurred no significant
joint costs for activities that included fund raising appeals.
Management and General
All costs not identifiable with a single program or fund raising activity, but indispensable to the conduct of
such programs and activities and to the Foundation’s existence, are included as management and general
expenses. This includes expenses for the overall direction of the Foundation, business management, general recordkeeping, budgeting, financial reporting, and activities relating to these functions such as salaries,
rent, supplies, equipment, and other expenses.
Expenses that benefit more than one function of the Foundation are allocated among the functions based
generally on the amount of time spent by employees on each function.
(k) Management Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from
those estimates. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the useful lives of property and equipment, valuation of investments and contributions receivable, accrued pending wish costs,
net of attrition on pending wish costs and whether an allowance for uncollectible contributions receivable
is required. The current economic environment has increased the degree of uncertainty inherent in those
estimates and assumptions.
(3)
Fair Value Measurements
(a) Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value is defined as the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in
an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
The fair values of the financial instruments shown in the following tables as of August 31, 2013, and 2012
represent the amounts that would be received to sell those assets or that would be paid to transfer those
liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at that date. Those fair value measurements
maximize the use of observable inputs. However, in situations where there is little, if any, market activity for
the asset or liability at the measurement date, the fair value measurement reflects the Foundation’s own
August 31, 2013 and 2012
judgments about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Those
judgments are developed by the Foundation based on the best information available in the circumstances,
including expected cash flows and appropriately risk adjusted discount rates, and available observable and
unobservable inputs.
The Foundation has adopted ASC Topic 820 for fair value measurements of financial assets and financial liabilities and for fair value measurements of nonfinancial items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in
the financial statements on a recurring basis (note 2).
(b) Fair Value Hierarchy
The following table presents the placement in the fair value hierarchy of assets and liabilities that are measured
at fair value on a recurring basis at August 31, 2013, and 2012:

The Foundation had no assets and liabilities valued using significant unobservable inputs (Level 2 or Level 3)
at August 31, 2013, and 2012.
The Foundation’s accounting policy is to recognize transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy on the
date of the event or the change in circumstances that caused the transfer. There were no transfers among
levels 1, 2, or 3 for the years ended August 31, 2013, and 2012.

Transactions with Related Entities
The National Organization conducts national fundraising efforts for which cash and in kind donations are received
and shared with the Foundation. These funds represent revenues associated with: distributions from national
partners, individual donation amounts collected via online and white mail donations, amounts for internal grants,
travel and training scholarships, amounts to fund the Adopt-A-Wish® program, and other miscellaneous revenues.
During the years ended August 31, 2013, and 2012, the Foundation received $1,542,145 from these national
revenue streams.
Conversely, the chapter pays amounts to the National Organization for annual dues, insurance, and other miscellaneous ancillary expenses that Make-A-Wish Foundation of America pays on behalf of the Foundation. Amounts
totaling $305,906 and $269,897 were paid from the Foundation to Make-A-Wish Foundation of America at
August 31, 2013, and 2012, respectively.

(7)
Accrued Pending Wish Costs
The Foundation accrues for estimated costs of reportable pending wishes as unconditional promises to give when
five certain, measurable wish criteria are met. Prior to meeting these five criteria, the wish is considered a conditional promise to give due to the inherent uncertainties surrounding these criteria and is therefore not accrued as
a pending wish liability. Reportable pending wish criteria include:
1.
Receiving a referral,
2.
Obtaining the required medical eligibility form,
3.
Contact with the wish family has occurred to determine the prospective wish,
4.
Determination that the wish falls within the National Organization’s wish granting policy, and
5.
The wish is expected to be granted within the next 12 months.
The Foundation, as part of its estimate of accrued pending wish costs, also considers attrition on pending wish
costs. An attrition rate is calculated by the Foundation by analyzing the trend of wishes that have been accrued
for using the five criteria discussed above that have not been able to be completed within the past twelve months
due to factors outside of the control of the chapter, such as the death of a child, the move of the family out of
the chapter’s territory, or loss of contact with the family. As of August 31, 2013, and 2012, the Foundation had
approximately 327 and 243 reportable pending wishes, respectively.
(8)Leases
The Foundation is obligated under various operating leases for offices and equipment, which expire at various
dates through July 31, 2021. Total rent expense for all operating leases for the years ended August 31, 2013, and
2012 totaled $202,617 and $184,725, respectively.
Future minimum lease payments under operating leases having remaining terms in excess of one year are as

(9)Endowments
The Foundation follows the provisions of ASC 958, Section 205-50 Reporting Endowment Funds. These provisions
provide guidance on the net asset classification of donor-restricted endowment funds for a not-for-profit organization that is subject to an enacted version of the Uniform Prudent Management of Institutional Funds Act of 2006
(UPMIFA) and also require disclosures about endowment funds, both donor restricted endowment funds and board
designated endowment funds.
The Foundation’s endowment consists of 12 individual funds established for a variety of purposes including both
donor-restricted endowment funds and funds designated by the board of directors to function as endowments.
Net assets associated with endowment funds, including funds designated by the board of directors to function
as endowments, are classified and reported based on the existence or absence of donor imposed restrictions.
Endowment assets, both donor-restricted and board-designated, are reflected as investments held for long-term
(a)
Interpretation of Relevant Law
The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has not enacted a version of UPMIFA or a version of the predecessor Uniform Management of Institutional Funds Act (UMIFA). Governing law resides in 15 Pa. C.S. §5548, Investment
of Trust Funds. The Foundation has interpreted relevant law as requiring the preservation of the fair value of
the original gift as of the gift date of the donor-restricted endowment fund absent explicit donor stipulations
to the contrary.
Pennsylvania law permits, but does not require, the board of directors to make an election to annually appropriate for expenditure a selected percentage between 2% and 7% of the fair value of the assets related to donor-restricted endowment funds averaged over a period of three or more preceding years, provided the board
of directors has determined that such percentage is consistent with the long term preservation of the real value
of such assets. The Foundation has not made this election; therefore under Pennsylvania law, it may only spend
true interest and dividend income related to permanent endowments. The Foundation therefore classifies as
permanently restricted net assets (a) the original value of gifts donated to the permanent endowment; (b) the
original value of subsequent gifts to the permanent endowment; and (c) returns on permanent endowment
other than interest and dividend income.
Interest and dividend income on permanent endowments are generally recorded as unrestricted revenue unless there is a purpose restriction on the use of the income that is not satisfied in the year the income is earned.
Endowment net asset composition by type of fund as of August 31, 2013, and 2012 is as follows:

Fund Deficiencies
From time to time, the fair value of assets associated with individual donor-restricted endowment funds may fall
below the level that the donor or Commonwealth law requires the Foundation to retain as a fund of perpetual
duration. There were no such deficiencies as of August 31, 2013, and 2012.
(c)
Return Objectives and Risk Parameters
The Foundation has adopted investment policies for endowment assets that attempt to maximize interest and
dividend income. Endowment assets include those assets of donor-restricted funds that the Foundation must
hold in perpetuity or for a donor-specified period(s), as well as board-designated funds. Under this policy, as
approved by the board of directors, endowment assets are invested in a manner that is intended to produce
results that exceed performance for a low-equity balanced portfolio measured by a benchmark using a blend
of the S&P 500 Index (35% weighting), a Government/Corporate Bond Intermediate Index (55% weighting),
and T-bill performance (10% weighting).
(d)
Strategies Employed for Achieving Objectives
To satisfy its long term interest and dividend maximization objectives, the Foundation relies on a strategy in
which investment returns are achieved primarily through current yield (interest and dividends). The Foundation
targets an asset allocation that places a greater emphasis on fixed income investments to achieve its current
yield objectives within prudent constraints.
(e)
Spending Policy and How the Investment Objectives Relate to Spending Policy
Under Commonwealth of Pennsylvania law, the Foundation has not elected a spending policy and instead
expends interest and dividend income earned on a current year basis for donor-restricted endowment funds.
The Foundation’s policy regarding board-designated endowment is that it is permitted, but not required, to
spend up to 4% of board designated endowment balances each year.
August 31, 2013 and 2012
The Foundation appropriated $0 and $20,492 of board-designated amounts for expenditure in 2013 and
2012, respectively.
In establishing these policies, the Foundation considered their impact on both the real growth of the endowment through new gifts and investment return and annual expendable endowment income.
(10) Temporarily and Permanently Restricted Net Assets

(11) Retirement Plan
The Foundation has a defined contribution retirement plan (the Plan). Employees are eligible for participation in the
Plan after reaching 21 years of age and upon completion of one year of service. Under the provisions of the Plan,
eligible employees may elect to defer a percentage of their salary subject to certain IRC limitations. The Foundation
contributes up to 5% of each participant’s gross wages as determined by years of service. Foundation contributions
to the Plan for the years ended August 31, 2013, and 2012 were $84,001 and $78,205, respectively.
(12) Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Foundation to concentration of credit risk consist principally of
cash, cash equivalents, and investments. The Foundation places its cash and investments with high credit quality
financial institutions and generally limits the amount of credit exposure not to exceed the FDIC insurance coverage
limit of $250,000. From time to time throughout the year, the Foundation’s cash balances may exceed the amount
of the FDIC insurance coverage.
August 31, 2013 and 2012
In-kind contributions totaling $1,563,370 and $1,535,648 were received from a single donor for the years ended
August 31, 2013, and 2012, respectively, which represents 18.2% and 19.3%, respectively, of total public support. Should these contribution levels decrease, the Foundation may be adversely affected.
(13) Litigation and Claims
The Foundation is involved in litigation and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of
management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Foundation’s
financial position, change in net assets, or liquidity.
(14) Subsequent Events
The Foundation has evaluated events from the statement of financial position date through January 28, 2014, the
date at which the financial statements were available to be issued, and identified no matters for disclosure other
than the assumption of responsibility for Northern West Virginia as described in note 1.
