Bush signed the Pension Protection Act of 2006 into law. Among other changes, the Act imposed tighter legal restrictions on grants awarded by private foundations, including the Richard M. Fairbanks Foundation, to a type of charitable organization referred to as a Supporting Organization. To avoid potential penalties imposed by the Internal Revenue Service for failing to adhere to the provisions contained within the Pension Protection Act, our legal counsel advised the Foundation to implement an annual tax-exempt status certification process for all multi-year grant recipients. The Foundation\u2019s certification process does not apply to municipal corporations or to one-year grant recipients.
