Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

FORM 990, PART XII, LINE 2C:

“In 2016, the board formed an audit committee and the formation was ratified by board vote at the march 27, 2017 board meeting. The audit committee is responsible for the oversight of the audit of its financial statements and selection of an independent accountant.”

Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

“Givewell is a non-profit organization exempt from federal income tax under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code and a similar provision for state taxing authorities. In addition, givewell has been determined by the internal revenue service not to be a private foundation within the meaning of section 509(a) of the internal revenue code. Givewell's accounting policy provides that a tax expense or benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination. Management has determined that givewell has taken no uncertain tax position that would require adjustment to the financial statements.”
