La Fondation Golf Canada a vu le jour en 1979 à l’initiative de l’Association Royale de Golf du Canada. The mandate of the Foundation, a registered Canadian amateur athletic association, is to raise and grant funds for the advancement of golf in Canada. The Foundation delivers this mandate by awarding scholarships to Canadian student golfers and distributing grants to support initiatives in women’s golf, junior golf, high performance golf, collegiate golf, and golf heritage. Money is raised for qualifying programs through fundraising events, the Golf Canada Foundation Trustee program, and other donation campaigns and initiatives Le mandat de la Fondation, une association canadienne enregistrée de sport amateur, est de collecter et octroyer des fonds pour l’avancement du golf canadien. Conformément à sa mission, la Fondation attribue des bourses à des étudiantsgolfeurs canadiens et finance diverses initiatives comme le golf féminin, le golf junior, le golf de haute performance, le golf universitaire et le patrimoine golfique. Les sommes sont recueillies à la faveur d’événements de collecte de fonds, du programme Supporteurs de la Fondation Golf Canada et d’autres campagnes et initiatives de collecte de fonds. Événements Events The Golf Canada Foundation held four major fundraising events in 2014: the Golf Canada Foundation Monday Pro-Am at the RBC Canadian Open in July (Montréal, Québec), the Wine, Women & Shoes event celebrating Women’s Golf in August (Markham, Ontario), the Golf Canada Foundation Monday Pro-Am at the CP Women’s Open in August (London, Ontario), and the Celebration of Golf event held in September at Angus Glen Golf Club (Markham, Ontario). Donations & Grants La Fondation Golf Canada a organisé quatre événements majeurs de collecte de fonds en 2014 : Pro-Am du lundi de l’Omnium canadien RBC (juillet, Montréal), Vin, femmes et chaussures, un hommage au golf féminin (août, Markham, Ontario), Pro-Am du lundi de l’Omnium féminin Canadien Pacifique (août, London, Ontario) et Célébration du golf, événement qui a eu lieu en septembre au Angus Glen Golf Club de Markham, en Ontario. Dons et subventions As a non-profit organization, the Foundation relies on donations as an essential source of revenue. Tax receipts are issued for all donations. Les dons constituent la source principale de revenu de la Fondation, un organisme sans but lucratif. Des reçus à des fins fiscales sont émis pour tous les dons.

Scott Simmons Cailey Stollery Kevin Sullivan Martin Barnard Chief Executive Officer / Chef de la direction [ 2 ] Golf Canada Foundation – Annual Report 2014 Spencer Snell Operations Manager / Gestionnaire des opérations Golf Canada Foundation President's Report Rapport du président de la Fondation Golf Canada This year saw the Foundation take another important step in establishing itself as the leading source for golf philanthropy in Canada, giving out almost $1 million in grants and scholarships in 2014. We’re extremely proud to provide the financial support for one of Golf Canada’s major initiatives, launching the Young Pro Squad as a part of Team Canada. This is an important program that provides a bridge between the outstanding successes Canada has had at the amateur level to helping more young professional players make the leap to a career at the top levels of the game. Modeled after successful international programs, Young Pro provides coaching, training camps, financial assistance, and the latest in sports science support to allow the players to focus on becoming the best players possible. We strongly believe that Canadians performing well on the world stage will inspire the next generation of players to help grow the game in Canada. Foundation Donors and Events Our Trustee program continues to grow, to a total of 25 Trustees making an investment in the Foundation and the programs we support. Starting at a minimum investment of $5,000 per year, Trustees receive exclusive access to all things Canadian golf: events, experiences, access to top players, and partner discounts and offers. For the year the Foundation focused on four main fundraising events: 1. The Monday Pro-Am at the RBC Canadian Open, The Royal Montreal Golf Club 2. The Canadian Pacific Women’s Open Monday Pro-Am, London Hunt and Country Club 3. Wine, Women, and Shoes, Angus Glen Golf Club 4. Celebration of Golf, Angus Glen Golf Club En 2014, la Fondation Golf Canada a fait un pas de plus pour s’établir comme la première source philanthropique de golf au Canada, octroyant près de 1 million de dollars en subventions et bourses. Nous sommes extrêmement fiers de soutenir financièrement l’une des initiatives les plus importantes de Golf Canada, le programme Jeune pro, qui fait dorénavant partie d’Équipe Canada. Voilà une initiative importante qui jette un pont entre les niveaux amateur et professionnel pour aider nos amateurs d’élite à avoir autant de succès dans les rangs professionnels. S’inspirant de programmes internationaux fructueux, Jeune pro, par le truchement de l’entraînement, de camps, d’aide financière et de la science du sport, permettra aux membres de cette formation d’atteindre leur plein potentiel. Nous sommes convaincus qu’en obtenant des résultats probants sur la scène mondiale, ces Canadiens inspireront la génération suivante et contribueront à l’essor du golf au Canada. Donateurs et événements de la Fondation Notre Programme de supporteurs continue de croître. À ce jour, 21 supporteurs ont investi dans la Fondation et dans les programmes qu’elle soutient. Grâce à un investissement minimum de 5 000 $, les Supporteurs obtiennent un accès exclusif à des tournois et événements golfiques, aux joueurs les plus en vue et à des offres spéciales de nos partenaires. En 2014, la Fondation a concentré ses efforts sur quatre événements de collecte de fonds : 1. Pro-Am du lundi de l’Omnium canadien RBC, Club de Golf Royal Montréal 2. Pro-Am du lundi de l’Omnium féminin Canadien Pacifique, London Hunt and Country Club 3. Vin, femmes et chaussures, Angus Glen Golf Club 4.

Scholarships/Grants The Golf Canada Foundation continued its longstanding support of collegiate golf in Canada by awarding fourteen scholarships with a combined value of $66,000, and 25 matching grants totaling $100,000, which ensured $200,000 went toward Canadian college and university golf programs. I would like to thank the Scholarship/Grant committee and the Women’s Fund committee for their hard work and oversight of two important Foundation programs in 2014. I also wish to thank the Kucey family, Connor/ Spafford families and the Canadian Seniors’ Golf Association for their continued funding of the scholarships and new emphasis on giving back to junior golf. Furthermore, I extend our thanks to the Kanawaki Golf Club, the principle benefactor of the Suzanne Beauregard Scholarships and the New Brunswick Golf Association for the Mary Ellen Driscoll Scholarship. Bourses et subventions La Fondation Golf Canada a poursuivi son soutien au golf universitaire canadien en octroyant 14 bourses totalisant 66 000 $, ainsi que 25 subventions paritaires totalisant 100 000 $, si bien que les programmes de golf des universités et collèges canadiens ont touché 200 000 $. Je remercie le Comité des bourses et subventions et le Comité du Fonds destiné aux femmes pour leurs efforts inlassables et leur supervision de deux importants programmes de la Fondation en 2014. Je remercie également la famille Kucey, les familles Connor/Spafford et l’Association canadienne des golfeurs séniors qui ont continué d'attribuer des bourses et de redonner au golf. Merci aussi au Club de golf Kanawaki, premier bénéficiaire des Bourses Suzanne-Beauregard, et l’Association de golf du Nouveau-Brunswick pour la Bourse Mary Ellen Driscoll.

Golf Canada World Junior Girls Championship – $75,000 2014 saw the inaugural World Junior Girls Championship held at Angus Glen Golf Course. This prestigious tournament was the first of its kind for junior girls, involving 48 of the best young female golfers from 15 countries. It also showcased the CN Future Links National Skills Challenge and delivered grass roots participation for young girls through free golf clinics. The Women’s Fund grant of $75,000 helped to make this event a huge success. 1.

Fondation Golf Canada – Rapport annuel 2014 [ 7 ] 5. Young Pro Program – $50,000 The Women’s Fund approved $50,000 to go directly towards matching donations to support a team of young professionals. The primary focus is to help improve the playing ability of players once they turn pro by overcoming the many hurdles they face in coaching, managing their careers, equipment, sport science schedule and training. This year recipients were: Rebecca Lee Bentham, Jennifer Kirby and Sue Kim. As Chair for 2014, I would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to our committee for their dedication and commitment in upholding the integrity and mandate of this fund. Also thank you to Martin, Spencer and the Foundation Board for their desire to continue on with the mandate of the Women’s Fund and who made this transition a success. 5. Programme Jeune pro – 50 000 $ Le Fonds destiné aux femmes a approuvé l’octroi de 50 000 $ pour égaler les dons de soutien à une équipe de jeunes professionnelles. L’objectif premier est d’aider les jeunes pros à surmonter les nombreux obstacles qui se dressent devant eux durant la phase de transition du point de vue de l’entraînement, de la gestion de carrière, de l’équipement et de la science du sport. Rebecca Lee-Bentham, Jennifer Kirby et Sue Kim ont été les lauréates en 2014. En ma qualité de présidente pour 2014, je remercie sincèrement notre comité qui n’a ménagé aucun effort pour préserver l’intégrité et le mandat du Fonds destiné aux femmes. Je remercie également Martin, Spencer et le Conseil d’administration de la Fondation. Grâce à eux, le Fonds destiné aux femmes a pu rester fidèle à son mandat et faire une réussite de cette phase de transition. Respectfully Submitted, Le tout respectueusement soumis, Pat Thompson Chair Women's Fund Committee Golf Canada Foundation [ 8 ] Golf Canada Foundation – Annual Report 2014 Pat Thompson Présidente, Comité du Fonds destiné aux femmes Fondation Golf Canada Scholarship & Grants Committee Report Rapport du Comité des bourses et subventions The committee, once again evaluated scholarship applications from all across Canada. In 2014 the Foundation received 31 applications, a decrease from 2013 numbers. We must re-focus efforts to ensure prospective recipients are aware of the available scholarships. In 2014, 17 students were awarded scholarships and the combined value of these awards was $66,000. Once again, it is extremely important to implement a concerted effort to increase awareness across Canada of the scholarships available. Le Comité, de concert avec Martin et Spencer, a une fois de plus examiné les demandes de bourse provenant de toutes les régions du Canada. En 2014, la Fondation a reçu 31 demandes, soit moins qu’en 2013. Nous devons multiplier nos efforts pour que les récipiendaires potentiels connaissent l’existence de ces bourses. En 2014, la Fondation a octroyé des bourses totalisant 66 000 $ à 17 étudiants. Encore une fois, il est extrêmement important de concerter nos efforts pour tenir le public canadien au courant des bourses disponibles. The University Grant Fund Fonds de soutien universitaire In 2014 the granting process was changed to provide incentives for the schools and their donors to get more involved in supporting the collegiate programs. Under the new process schools still apply for funding, and once they are approved they must demonstrate the amount that they have raised externally over a specific time period. In 2014, 25 academic institutions submitted applications requesting grant funding, an increase from 16 applications in 2013. All schools received funding, and a total of $100,000 in grants was distributed to the 25 golf programs generating over $200,000 to support collegiate golf in Canada. En 2014, le processus d’octroi a été modifié. Désormais, les subventions accordées par la Fondation égalent les fonds collectés par les universités et collèges ayant un programme de golf. Les établissements doivent encore faire une demande de subvention. Une fois leur demande approuvée, elles doivent révéler le montant qu’elles ont recueilli à l’externe sur une période définie. En 2014, 25 établissements d’enseignement ont soumis une demande de subvention, soit 9 de plus qu’en 2013. Tous les postulants ont reçu une subvention. Celles-ci ont totalisé 100 000 $, si bien que les 25 programmes de golf universitaires et collégiaux ont pu compter sur plus de 200 000 $. The goal of the grant program for Canadian Universities and Colleges continues to be to provide a viable option for young Canadian golfers to pursue their post-secondary educations in Canada. The program reached approximately 383 students this year, providing scholarships for academics and funds for golf programs at the schools, so that students can continue to play golf while studying and developing as future members of the Canadian business community. A special thank you to the 2014 selection committee members for their continued good work and support: L’objectif du programme de soutien aux universités et collèges canadiens est de permettre aux jeunes golfeuses et golfeurs canadiens de poursuivre leurs études postsecondaires au Canada. Le programme, qui a touché 383 étudiants en 2014, fournit des bourses pour des programmes scolaires et golfiques aux établissements postsecondaires. Ainsi, les étudiants peuvent continuer de pratiquer le golf tout en recevant une formation qui en fera éventuellement des membres de la communauté canadienne des affaires.

Forte du succès de l’événement Vin, femmes et chaussures de 2013 à Edmonton, la Fondation Golf Canada, tirant aussi profit de l’excitation entourant Angus Glen, hôte du Championnat mondial junior féminin 2014 et de la compétition de golf des Jeux panaméricains de 2015, a présenté un événement similaire le soir du 10 août au Angus Glen Golf Club. Similar to last year, the theme of the evening was “Wine, Women & Shoes”, and the event was advertised as a fun, unique evening involving shopping, wine, golf, and fashion. Due largely to the great efforts put forth by the event committee, the Foundation managed to attract over 200 attendees to the event. Comme l’année précédente, sous le thème Vin, femmes et chaussures, cet événement unique faisait large part au magasinage, au vin, au golf et à la mode. Les efforts du comité d’organisation ont été récompensés puisque plus de 200 personnes ont participé à l’événement. The committee included Golf Canada Foundation Board members Cailey Stollery (President of Angus Glen) and Liz Hoffman. The Angus Glen staff were also key contributors to the event’s success. There were wines from 8 different wineries, clothing and accessories on sale from 10 different vendors, and a fantastic fashion show to cap off the night. The evening’s host and auctioneer was Evanka Osmak, a sports anchor for Rogers Sportsnet who has also helped Golf Canada with the Golf Fore the Cure initiative in the past. With over 20 auction items and four different raffle competitions to participate in, the evening was full of fun activities and contests. Martin Barnard, the CEO of the Golf Canada Foundation, spoke to the crowd to explain the goals and purpose of the Golf Canada Foundation, and every attendee received a pamphlet about the Foundation. Cailey also spoke to the crowd and explained how golf played a significant role in her family and in her life, and thanked everyone for contributing to the Foundation and helping to grow the sport and create more opportunities for women in golf. Le comité comprenait deux membres du Conseil d’administration de la Fondation Golf Canada, Cailey Stollery, présidente d’Angus Glen, et Liz Hoffman. Le personnel d’Angus Glen a aussi grandement contribué au succès de l’événement. Le vin provenait de huit établissements vinicoles, les vêtements et accessoires de 10 fournisseurs, le clou de la soirée étant un fantastique défilé de mode. Evanka Osmak, de Rogers Sportsnet, a joué le double rôle d’animatrice et commissaire-priseur, elle qui a aussi prêté son concours dans le passé à Vert la guérison, une autre initiative de Golf Canada. Plus de 20 objets ont été mis aux enchères tandis que quatre tombolas étaient tirées, le tout à l’enseigne du plaisir. Martin Barnard, chef de la direction de la Fondation Golf Canada, a expliqué au public les objectifs de la Fondation, chaque personne présente se voyant remettre un dépliant sur la Fondation. Cailey a quant à elle expliqué le rôle important du golf dans sa famille et dans sa vie. Elle a remercié l’assemblée de sa contribution à la Fondation et à l’essor du golf en général et du golf féminin en particulier. Fondation Golf Canada – Rapport annuel 2014 [ 15 ] The Golf Canada Foundation was fortunate to work with fantastic sponsors and partners and be able to host a great event at a wonderful venue. More importantly, the Foundation managed to spread more awareness for both the organization as a whole and our mission going forward.

Golf Canada Foundation Pro-Am (RBC Canadian Open) Pro-Am de la Fondation Golf Canada (Omnium canadien RBC) 2014 marked the second year of the Golf Canada Foundation Pro-Am on the Monday of the RBC Canadian Open. On Monday July 21st, the ProAm was held at the Royal Montreal Golf Club in Ile-Bizard, Quebec.

Pour la deuxième fois en 2014, le Pro-Am de la Fondation Golf Canada s’est déroulée le lundi de l’Omnium canadien RBC, soit le 21 juillet, au Club de Golf Royal Montréal de l’Île-Bizard, au Québec.

The Pro-Am was supported by the sponsors of the RBC Canadian Open and featured the top Canadian golfers, including the five Canadians on the PGA Tour, as well as alumni and current players from the Montreal Canadiens. There were 20 teams that participated, and the day included food stations on-course, premium gifting, and a full lunch reception preceding the round.

The Golf Canada Foundation will continue to manage the Monday Pro-Am at the RBC Canadian Open and is looking forward to hosting the next event at the Glen Abbey Golf Club in 2015.

La réception, animée par Michel Lacroix, la « voix » des Canadiens, a été marquée par un encan (conventionnel et silencieux). De plus, des questions ont été posées à un panel composé de Mike Weir, Stephen Ames, Graham DeLaet, David Hearn et Brad Fritsch. L’événement s’est avéré un franc succès et a permis à la Fondation Golf Canada de recueillir plus de 115 000 $ pour des initiatives de golf d’un bout à l’autre du pays. La Fondation Golf Canada continuera de gérer le Pro-Am du lundi lors de l’Omnium canadien RBC de 2015 qui aura lieu au Glen Abbey Golf Club d’Oakville, en Ontario.

On Monday August 18th, the Pro-Am was held at the London Hunt & Country Club in London, Ontario. Similar to the Foundation Pro-Am at the RBC Canadian Open, the objective of this event was to create awareness and raise funds for programs supported by the Golf Canada Foundation. En 2014, la Fondation Golf Canada est devenue l’organisatrice du Pro-Am du lundi de l’Omnium féminin Canadien Pacifique. L’événement a eu lieu le 18 août au London Hunt & Country Club de London, en Ontario. Comme pour le Pro-Am de l’Omnium canadien RBC, l’objectif était de sensibiliser le public à la Fondation Golf Canada et à ses programmes. The Pro-Am was hosted by Lorie Kane and featured the top Canadian female golfers as well as various other Canadian celebrity athletes, including Tessa Virtue and Becky Kellar. There were 19 teams that participated, and the day included a light lunch, gifting stations in the clubhouse, and a full dinner reception at the conclusion of the round. The reception included a silent and live auction as well as a panel hosted by TSN sportscaster Rod Black, featuring Lorie Kane, Brooke Henderson, Sue Kim, Rebecca Lee-Bentham, and Team Canada coach Tristan Mullally. Lorie Kane était l’hôtesse de ce Pro-Am auquel ont participé les meilleures golfeuses du pays et d’autres athlètes canadiennes de renom comme Tessa Virtue et Becky Kellar. Dix-neuf équipes ont pris le départ après l’heure du lunch. Toutes les participantes ont eu droit à un cadeau et ont été invitées à une réception après la ronde.

Des questions ont été posées à un panel composé de Lorie Kane, Brooke Henderson, Sue Kim, Rebecca LeeBentham et Tristan Mullally, entraîneur d’Équipe Canada. The evening was a tremendous success and raised over $30,000 while increasing awareness of the Foundation in a new city. The Golf Canada Foundation will continue to manage the Monday Pro-Am at the CP Women’s Open and is looking forward to hosting the next event at The Vancouver Golf Club in 2015. La soirée a été un franc succès et a permis de recueillir plus de 30 000 $ tout en augmentant la notoriété de la Fondation.

Celebration of Golf (with Toronto 2015 Pan Am / Parapan Am Games) Célébrer le golf (Jeux panaméricains et parapanaméricains de 2015) The Golf Canada Foundation teamed up with the TORONTO 2015 Pan Am/Parapan Am Games to run a fundraising event in Markham, Ontario in 2014. The tournament was a junior-am, where groups of three were each teamed up with two players from the inaugural World Junior Girls Championship at the Angus Glen Golf Club. En 2014, la Fondation Golf Canada, de concert avec les Jeux panaméricains et parapanaméricains de 2015 à Toronto, a organisé une collecte de fonds à Markham, en Ontario. Il s’agissait d’un tournoi junior par équipes. Chacune comprenait cinq membres, dont deux golfeuses participant au tout premier Championnat mondial junior féminin au Angus Glen Golf Club. Fondation Golf Canada – Rapport annuel 2014 [ 17 ] The event was also themed as a showcase of the elite athletes and sports that will be a part of the Pan Am/Parapan Am Games. At several holes on the course, Canadian Pan Am and Parapan Am athletes greeted the groups and participated in sport-related activities with the guests. At the round’s conclusion participants enjoyed a dinner reception and silent auction. The evening was hosted by CBC sports broadcaster Scott Russell, who also partook in a one-on-one interview on stage with the world’s top female amateur golfer, Canadian Brooke Henderson. Chief Executive Officer of TORONTO 2015, Saäd Rafi, also participated in the event and spoke to the audience about the upcoming multi-sport games. The Celebration of Golf Event raised over $60,000 and was a successful pre-cursor to the World Junior Girls Championship later that week. The event built up excitement and enthusiasm for the sport of golf, enhanced guests’ knowledge of the Golf Canada Foundation, and provided an excellent preview for the 2015 Pan Am/Parapan Am Games in Toronto. [ 18 ] Golf Canada Foundation – Annual Report 2014 L’événement était également une vitrine pour les athlètes et les sports qui feront partie des Jeux panaméricains et parapanaméricains. Des athlètes de ces Jeux ont accueilli les groupes sur plusieurs trous du parcours et ont participé à des activités parasportives avec les invités. Le tournoi a été suivi d’une réception et d’un écran silencieux. Scott Russell, commentateur sportif à CBC, a animé la soirée et interviewé la Canadienne Brooke Henderson, la golfeuse amateur la mieux classée au monde. Saäd Rafi, directeur général de TORONTO2015, s’est adressé au public au sujet du cette grande manifestation multisport. L’événement, qui a recueilli plus de 60 000 $, a été de bon augure pour le Championnat mondial junior féminin qui a eu lieu la semaine suivante. Il a suscité de l’enthousiasme pour le golf, a sensibilisé les participants à la Fondation Golf Canada et a constitué une avant-première appréciée pour la compétition de golf des Jeux panaméricains et parapanaméricains de 2015.

Management’s responsibility for the financial statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with Canadian accounting standards for not-for-profit organizations, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation 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 audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and 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 our 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, we consider 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. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. 1 Audit • Tax • Advisory Grant Thornton LLP. A Canadian Member of Grant Thornton International Ltd We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified audit opinion.

Nature of Operations The Golf Canada Foundation (formerly RCGA Foundation) is a Registered Canadian Amateur Athletic Association and is exempt from income tax in Canada under the Income Tax Act (Canada). Each member of the Board of Directors of the Royal Canadian Golf Association (operating as Golf Canada) is a member of the Foundation. As a result, the Foundation is effectively controlled by Golf Canada. Golf Canada is the National Sport Organization and governing body of golf in Canada. The Foundation’s mission is to provide golfers and industry partners with a charitable platform to increase participation in golf by engaging players of all ages and abilities across Canada. While collegiate golf has historically been the main focus of the Foundation, the organization’s recently expanded activities have broadened the Foundation’s focus to include several other programs to benefit golf in Canada.

Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) Operating Fund The Operating Fund includes revenue and expenses related to scholarships, grants and administrative activities, including restricted contributions available for use, but expendable only for purposes specified by the donor or grantor, that are not included in any other fund. Endowment Fund The Endowment Fund includes income and disbursements made in the form of scholarship funds that have been designated by the donors – the Connor/Spafford Scholarship and the Marlene Stewart Streit Golf Scholarship. Investment income earned on the endowment funds are allocated to the specific fund net of administration fees. (c) Use of estimates The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with ASNPO 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. (d) Financial instruments The Foundation initially measures its financial assets and liabilities at fair value. Subsequently, the Foundation measures all its financial instruments at fair value or amortized cost with subsequent changes in fair value recognized in the statement of revenues and expenses. Fair values are based on quoted market prices where available from active markets, otherwise fair values are estimated using a variety of valuation techniques and models. Financial assets and liabilities measured at amortized cost include cash, receivable from Golf Canada, receivables, payables and accruals, amounts payable to Golf Canada and deferred scholarship contributions. The Foundation measures investments at fair value. (e) Revenue recognition Contributions are recorded in the appropriate fund in the year received or receivable if the amount to be received can be reasonably estimated and collection is reasonably assured. Funds contributed for specific purposes that are part of the Operating Fund are recorded as deferred scholarship contributions on the statement of financial position until expended on scholarships or grants in future periods. Contributions are then recorded as revenue and an expense when the related scholarship or grant is paid. Investment income is recognized when earned. Donated materials or services by way of gifts-in-kind are recognized as revenue when the fair value can be reasonably estimated. The Foundation may record administration fees on certain endowment and designated deferred scholarship contributions based on the nature of the deferred funds and agreement set forth with the donor. Administration fees are recorded as revenue in the operating fund as a general donation. (f) Expense recognition Expenses are recorded when incurred. Scholarships and grants are recorded upon approval. 3. Financial Instruments Credit risk The Foundation is subject to credit risk through receivables. Credit risk is minimized by dealing primarily with organizations and donors with strong financial positions. Market risk The Foundation is exposed to market fluctuations through its investments quoted in active markets. Market risk is the risk that the fair value of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in those market prices, whether those changes are caused by factors specific to the individual financial instrument or its issuer, or factors affecting all similar financial instruments traded in the markets. 8 Golf Canada Foundation Notes to Financial Statements October 31, 2014 4.
