Young Catholics: Future Evangelists of the Faith

FOUNDATION, INC.2010 Annual Report

Mission Statement

Carl Koch’s belief that he was “just a steward of the finances given by God to use on His behalf” inspired the commitment he and his wife, Paula, made to founding the Koch Foundation in 1979. The Foundation’s goals are to strengthen and to propagate the Roman Catholic faith by providing grant support for a wide variety of evangelization efforts. In considering applications, major emphasis is placed on sound but financially needy evangelical programs. The Koch Foundation is international in scope with no geographical preference.

Letter from the Executive Director

The increase in the number of young Catholics brings the Church fresh energy and new ways of spreading the Catholic faith. As young Catholics care for their families, fulfill their employment responsibilities, and interact through numerous social networks, they develop new opportunities to evangelize. Whether using social media, holding discus-sion groups, serving in soup kitchens, becoming youth ministers, or evangelizing in vari-ous missions, these young Catholics have developed methods of spreading the faith that are extremely effective in today’s technological world.

Parishes in dioceses worldwide have witnessed an increase in the participation of young adults in the Catholic faith. Young Catholics are learning more about Christ’s love and strengthening their commitment to their faith through their participation in an increasing number of ministries. Their spiritual hunger and their thirst for knowledge provide the Church opportunities to satisfy these needs by making these young adults integral parts of the universal Church and of the individual parishes.

Other welcome challenges for the Church are the young adults who once called them-selves Catholic but now do not participate in their faith. New ways of conducting out-reach activities should be designed. By targeting their non-active peers and working to bring them back to the Church, active young Catholics are playing an essential role in spreading the Good News and expanding the Word. To assist their return to the Church, non-active young Catholics are being invited to share in ministry experiences.

When John Paul II initiated the annual celebration of World Youth Day, he recognized the promise and the future of the Church were its youth. At the Inauguration ceremonies to World Youth Day in 1978, he said, “You are the future of the world, you are the hope of the Church, you are my hope.” Young Catholics are our hope as we guide them to follow the footsteps of Christ. Keeping them in touch with the Church as they strive to achieve their immediate and distant dreams ensures their spiritual development. They are not only the future of the Church, they are the promise of a profound commitment to the faith.

In Christ’s Name, Carolyn Young

“I am grateful to him who has strengthened me,

Christ Jesus our Lord, because he considered me trustworthy in appointing me to the ministry.”

Young Catholics are becoming more involved in religious activities that directly support, strengthen or spread the Faith. Whether it is a ministry for those incarcerated in Ameri-can prisons, the sacramental preparation of children in India studying for their First Communion, or classes to ready couples for marriage in Poland, these emergent Church leaders can be found joyfully sharing their beliefs. The Koch Foundation funds Direct Evangelization programs and religious activities that directly support, strengthen and spread the Catholic faith.

Acts Chapter 2 39:40

Preparation of Evangelists

Each year, many are called to a religious life dedicated to spreading His message, and among those answering that call are the young Catholics attending colleges and universities all over the world. Some are serving as catechists in remote substations, deacons in underprivileged parishes, and youth ministers to students who otherwise would have no contact with the Church. Others heed a deeper calling, and seek to join the consecrated men and women religious who for so many centuries have been the backbone of the Church’s missionary work.

The Koch Foundation funds Preparation of Evangelists formation programs and religious activities that prepare individuals and groups to proclaim the Good News of salvation through the Catholic faith.

Catholic Schools

Following a period of increased secularism, where public education was preferred over parochial, there has been an apparent resurgence in the number of families seeking a Catholic education for their children. In these challenging economic times many Catho-lic schools are struggling but persevering by providing a quality education, both in faith and learning, to all pupils.

The Koch Foundation continues to support Catholic education for all, both at home and abroad, so as to insure that future generations will benefit from the strong values and sense of responsibility that Catholic Schools instill.

“ The Lord said to him: “I have heard the prayer of petition which you offered

in my presence. I have consecrated this temple which you have built; I confer my name upon it forever, and my eyes and my heart

shall be there always.” 1 Kings Chapter 9:3

Capital Expenditures

As the Church continues to grow, the need to expand and build remains constant. Older church buildings and schools, long in service, are reaching important anniversaries in desperate need of upgrades and renovations that will allow them to continue to provide a safe and welcoming place of worship, as well as help keep them relevant in an ever changing, ever more modernized world. Convents and abbeys, friaries and seminaries, must also expand and renovate in order to accommodate new aspirants to their orders.

The Koch Foundation provides support for Capital Expenditures which include the con-struction or repair of church buildings, convents, monasteries, and religious formation centers worldwide.

Therefore, revenue and expenses are recognized as cash is received or paid, and the related receivables, payables and accrued expenses are not reflected in the accompanying financial statements, with the exception of the following:

Unrealized gains or losses on investments, which are recognized based on fair market value.

Accrued interest receivable is recorded for interest due but not paid as of year-end for investments in debt securities.

An accrued vacation liability has been accrued for the amount of each employee’s unpaid (unused) vacation balance.

Expenditures having an economic life of more than one year are capitalized as assets and depreciated over their estimated useful lives.

(b) Cash and cash equivalents—For the purposes of reporting cash flows, the Foundation considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

(c) Investments—Investments in equity securities with readily determinable fair values and all investments in debt securities are reflected in the accounts of the Foundation at fair value. Investments in private equities are carried at the lower of cost or fair value in the aggregate. At March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, the fair value of private equities in the aggregate was below their carrying values. For information on how the Foundation determines fair value, see Note 10.

Unrealized appreciation and depreciation is based on the market value of investments as of March 31 and recognized currently in the statements of receipts and disbursements and changes in net assets - modified cash basis.

(d) Derivatives—In the normal course of business, the Foundation uses derivative financial instruments in an effort to manage exposure on long-term investments. Specifically, to manage price and interest rate risk associated with investing activities, the Foundation uses forward contracts. Under these contracts, the Foundation agrees to the future delivery of a security, on an

agreed-upon date, and at an agreed-upon price. These contracts are entered into with the intention to minimize the Foundation’s economic exposure to adverse fluctuations in financial markets and to reduce interest rate risk. The Foundation’s forward contracts (stock options sold) are presented at fair value and are based on quotes from brokers. The notional and fair values of the forward contracts as of March 31, 2010 and 2009 are as follows:

Total $ (2,509,968) $ 2,591,032

(e) Estimates—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with the modified cash receipts and disbursements basis of accounting requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, net assets, receipts and disbursements during the reporting period and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(f) Depreciation—Property and equipment is stated at cost. The Foundation computes depreciation using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:

Years

Office building and improvements 40Furniture and fixtures 5Computer equipment 3



(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Principles: (Continued)

(g) Tax status—The Internal Revenue Service has determined that the Foundation is exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(c)(3) of the Code. The Code imposes an excise tax of 2% (reduced to 1% if certain requirements are met) on net investment income of private foundations.

The Foundation files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction. With few exceptions, the Foundation is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state or local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2006.

The Foundation has reviewed and evaluated the relevant technical merits of each of its tax positions in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, and determined that there are no uncertain tax positions that would have a material impact on the financial statements of the Foundation.

(h) Subsequent events—The Company has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements through July 26, 2010 the date the financial statements were available to be issued. No subsequent events have been recognized or disclosed.

(3) Concentration of Credit Risk:

At March 31, 2010 and 2009, the Foundation has demand deposits, money market accounts and certificates of deposit with local and national banks amounting to $4,949,970 and $8,901,678, respectively. The Foundation has no policy requiring collateral to support these deposits, although amounts are federally insured up to FDIC limits.

(4) Property and Equipment:

The following is a summary of the components of property and equipment as of March 31:

2010 2009

Office building and improvements $ 348,966 $ 348,186 Furniture and fixtures 142,686 141,915 Computer equipment 86,503 86,503

(5) Federal Excise Tax:

In accordance with the applicable provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1969 (the Act), the Foundation is subject to an excise tax on net investment income, including realized gains, as defined in the Act.

In addition, the Act requires that certain minimum distributions be made in accordance with a specified formula. As of March 31, 2010 and 2009, the Foundation had distributions in excess of the required minimum for the current year.

(6) Related Parties:

Directors and officers have made significant contributions of their time and services to assist the Foundation in its investment activities. The estimated fair market value of these contributions was approximately $294,000 and $354,000 during the years ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. As the Foundation records its financial statements on the modified cash basis, these contributions have not been recognized in the financial statements.

(7) Employment Contracts:

As required by a terminated employment contract, a former officer began receiving retirement benefits from the Foundation of approximately $8,000 per year during January 1995. The benefit payments continue throughout the life of the officer and the officer’s spouse. Payments of approximately $8,250 and $7,560 were made during the years ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and are included in management and general disbursements.

The Foundation has an employment contract with an Executive Director, which expires April 2, 2011. The contract can be prematurely terminated if the employee voluntary terminates the contract (must give 60 days notice) or the employee is involuntarily terminated with cause. The contract provides, among other things, a stipulated salary and annual retirement benefits.

(8) Employee Benefit Plan:

The Foundation sponsors a Simplified Employee Pension Plan (the SEP Plan) and a §403(b) Tax Deferred Annuity Plan (the §403 Plan) to provide for retirement benefits for the employees of the Foundation. Under the SEP Plan, each eligible employee maintains an individual retirement account into which the Foundation makes contributions. The Foundation has committed to contribute eight percent of all participating employees' annual compensation to the SEP Plan each year. The §403 Plan provides for participating employees to voluntarily deduct tax-deferred amounts from their gross wages to purchase tax-deferred annuities. The Foundation has no obligations related to the §403 Plan. Benefits in both plans are fully vested immediately upon contribution. Contributions of $16,529 and $18,699 were made during the years ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and are included in management and general disbursements.

(9) Risks and Uncertainties:

The Foundation invests in various investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to various risks such as interest rate, market, and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect investment account balances and the amounts reported in the statement of assets and net assets.

(10) Fair Value Measurements:

Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) define fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

The three levels of fair value hierarchy are described below:

Level 1––Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets the Foundation has the ability to access at the measurement date. These types of quote prices would include publicly traded securities.

Level 2––Pricing inputs (other than quoted prices included in Level 1) that are observable for the asset, either directly or indirectly. Observable inputs are those that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Foundation. These types of sources would include quoted prices for similar assets models or other valuation methodologies.

Level 3––Pricing inputs that are unobservable for the asset. Unobservable inputs are those that reflect the Foundation’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset developed based on the best information available. These types of amounts due from externally managed private equity investments is determined based on information provided by the private equity firm.

The asset’s value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The Foundation uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and to determine fair value disclosures. For additional information on how the Foundation measures fair value, refer to Note 2 (c). There have been no changes in the methodologies used at March 31, 2010 and 2009. The following table summarizes the assets of the Foundation for which fair values are determined on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively:
