Financial Statement Notes

Pt X, Line 2

“American Whitewater is generally exempt from federal income taxes under 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. However, income from certain activities not related to the organization's tax-exempt purpose may be subject to taxation as unrelated business income. The organization had no income tax expense from unrelated business activities for the year ended December 31, 2019. The organization believes that it has appropriate support for tax positions taken on its 2019 federal Exempt Organization Business Income Tax Return (Form 990-T), and otherwise, and as such, does not have any uncertain tax positions that are material to the financial statements.”

Pt XI, Line 2D

“Event Expense $58,604 & Cost of Goods Sold $17,180”

Pt XII, Line 2D

“Event Expense $58,604 & Cost of Goods Sold $17,180”

IRS990/Desc0Conservation and Access: American Whitewater's core mission-related work is the conservation, restoration, and responsible management of whitewater rivers. In 2019 American Whitewater helped secure Wild and Scenic designation for 621 miles of outstanding rivers nationwide, and administrative protections for 239 additional miles of Wild and Scenic eligible streams in California. We helped secure the introduction of additional designation legislation for WA and OR in 2019. American Whitewater directly participated in management decisions that improved flows and river access associated with dams on at least 31 rivers across the country. American Whitewater secured 3 new and/or improved river access areas in WV and a new stream gage in CO, and collaboratively managed river access on at least 10 rivers. American Whitewater negotiated new agreements that protected or restored flows on the New River (WV), Russell Fork (KY/TN), Green (NC), and North Fork Feather (CA) rivers. We defended key provisions of the Clean Water Act in Congressional testimony and a successful VT Supreme Court case. All told these efforts benefited several thousand miles of spectacular rivers, and hundreds of thousands of river enthusiasts.
