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, 2020. The organization believes that it has appropriate support for tax positions taken on its 2020 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.”

IRS990/Desc0American Whitewater's core mission-related work is the conservation, restoration, and responsible management of whitewater rivers. In 2020 American Whitewater helped secure new federal adminstrative protections for 350 miles of Wild and Scenic eligible streams in Montana, helped secure the designation of three new State Scenic Rivers in Tennessee, and helped introduce over 700 miles of Wild and Scenic River legislation in Montana and New Mexico. AW directly participated in management decisions that improved flows and river access associated with dams on at least 32 rivers across the country. AW secured two new river access areas, in Oregon and North Carolina, a new stream gage in North Carolina, and collaboratively managed river access on at least eight rivers. A new River Access Planning Guide was published that was a major American Whitewater initiative in partnership with the National Park Service. AW negotiated new agreements that protected or restored flows on the Sultan River (WA), and helped defeat the proposed Temperance Flat Dam on the San Joaquin River (CA). AW quantified river recreation opportunities in four watershed management plans in Colorado. AW also helped support the passage of the Great American Outdoors Act, as well as new river access legislation in Oregon. All told these efforts benefited several thousand miles of spectacular rivers, and hundreds of thousands of river enthusiasts.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0American Whitewater educates the paddling community, general public, federal agencies, and decision makers on river stewardship issues and opportunities through several outlets. AW maintains and posts weekly content on the go-to website of the paddling community. Our website features news, action alerts, and descriptions of 5,760 whitewater river reaches. In 2020 we improved the mapping and river-page editing functions of our website, as well as our app. The organization also reaches over 50,000 people through action alerts and monthly email newsletters, and regularly posts to a FaceBook page with over 35,000 followers. American Whitewater's roughly 6,500 members and over 100 affiliate clubs receive our print Journal published five times per year. AW shared river conservation and access content through three online events. AW conducted several online trainings related to river access, and early in the year co-led the Wild and Scenic River Coalition's Hill Week event.
