BOARD + STAFF strength of our great nation. 1 concept z 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.

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 F 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.

56 NOTES TO 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 classess:

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.

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. c) U.S. GAAP provides guidance on the net asset classifications of donor-restricted endowment funds for not-for-profit organizations that is subject to the Uniform Prudent Managemement of Institutional Funds Act (“UPMIFA”). New York State enacted a version of UPMIFA on September 17, 2010. This law is commonly referred to as “NYPMIFA” (New York Prudent Management Institutional Funds Act).

The Board has interpreted New York State nonprofit law (UPMIFA prior to September 17, 2010 and NYPMIFA thereafter) as requiring the preservation of the historic dollar value of the original donor-restricted endowment gift as of the gift date, absent explicit donor stipulations to the contrary. The Board only appropriated for expenditure $661,603 from the cumulative earnings on permanently restricted funds. Therefore the remaining earnings are reported as temporarily restricted. See Note B for how Posse maintains its net assets.
