Thanks to a $500,000 multi-year grant from the New World Foundation, Civic Engagement Scholars are able to gain support from a program that builds Deborah Bial, President + Founder Jeffrey Ubben, Chair community awareness and reinforces social responsibility. Through internships at leading social justice organizations, students gain invaluable work experience in the public sector. It is an initiative that is further empowering Scholars to become effective agents of change on their campuses and in the world. 5 Mission Posse started in 1989 because of one student who said, “I never would have dropped out of college if I had my posse with me.” The Posse Foundation identifies public high school students with extraordinary academic and leadership potential who may be overlooked by traditional college selection processes. The Foundation extends to these students the opportunity to pursue personal and academic excellence by placing them in supportive, multicultural teams—Posses—of 10 students. The Foundation’s partner colleges and universities award Posse Scholars four-year, full‑tuition leadership scholarships. Concept The concept of a Posse works for both students and college campuses and is rooted in the belief that a small, diverse group of talented students—a Posse— carefully selected and trained, can serve as a catalyst for increased individual and community development. As the United States becomes an increasingly multicultural society, Posse believes that the leaders of this new century should reflect the country’s rich demographic mix and that the key to a promising future for our nation rests on the ability of strong leaders from diverse backgrounds to develop consensus solutions to complex social problems. One of the primary aims of the Posse program is to train these leaders of tomorrow.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS – END OF YEAR $4,664,855 $3,684,907 50 The accompanying notes on page 51 are an integral part of these financial statements. a) Net Assets Posse’s financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting. Posse adheres to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. b) Posse maintains its net assets under the following three classes: Unrestricted - represents resources available for support of Posse’s operations over which the Board of Directors (the “Board”) has discretionary control. Temporarily restricted - net assets resulting from contributions and other inflows of assets subject to donor-imposed stipulations that either expire by the passage of time or can be fulfilled and removed by actions of Posse pursuant to those stipulations. When such stipulations end or are fulfilled, such temporarily restricted net assets are reported in the statement of activities as net assets released from restrictions. Earnings on endowment assets are temporarily restricted until appropriated by the Board for spending. Permanently restricted - net assets subject to donor-imposed stipulations that principal be maintained permanently by Posse, but the earnings of which are available and accounted for in unrestricted operations. Notes c) U.S. GAAP provides guidance on the net asset classifications of donor-restricted endowment funds for not-for-profit organization that is subject to the Uniform Prudent Management of Institutional Funds Act (“UPMIFA”). New York State enacted a version of UPMIFA on September 17, 2010. This law is to Financials commonly referred to as “NYPMIFA” (New York Prudent Management Institutional Funds Act). The Board has interpreted NYPMIFA as allowing Posse to appropriate for expenditure or accumulate so much of an endowment fund as Posse determines is prudent for the uses, benefits, purposes and duration for which the endowment fund is established, subject to the intent of the donor as expressed in the gift instrument. Unless stated otherwise in the gift instrument, the assets in an endowment shall be donor-restricted until appropriated for expenditure by the Board. The Board appropriated for expenditure $767,436 and $736,979 from the cumulative earnings on permanently restricted funds for the years ending December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Therefore the remaining earnings, if any, are reported as temporarily restricted.
