Additional Explanations

FORM 990 - ORGANIZATION'S MISSION

“To provide the conceptual framework, strategies, and information to aid the creation of ecologically-sound and equitable communities. To that end, ilsr works with citizens, activists, policymakers, and entrepreneurs to design systems, policies, and industries that meet local or regional needs; to maximize local human, material, natural, and financial resources; and to ensure that the benefits of these systems and resources accrue to all local citizens.”

Form 990, Page 2, Part III, Line 4D

“Energy democracy - our energy democracy initiative empowers households and communities to produce their own local, clean, and renewable energy and oppose the excessive power of monopoly utilities. The public good - this initiative works to change the narrative that currently views the private sector as sacred and the public sector as inherently harmful. The program identifies research that challenges this narrative and educates the general public about the benefits of public goods and the risks attendent to a culture providing immense subsidies to privatization in all sectors. Composting for community - our composting for community initiative is advancing local composting to cut food loss, enhance soils, protect the climate, and create jobs through advocacy, training, research, education, and coalition building. Waste to wealth - the waste to wealth initiative provides hands-on technical assistance, as well as vital research, to help community organizations, government agencies, and private businesses convert discarded materials from environmental and economic liabilities into valuable resources that add value to the local economy while enhancing community resilience and development opportunities.”

Financial Statement Notes

Schedule D, Page 3, Part X

“Accounting principles generally accepted in the united states of america provide consistent guidance for the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the organization's financial statements and prescribe a threshold of "more likely than not" for recognition of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The institute for local self- reliance performed an evaluation of uncertain tax positions for the year ended june 30, 2024, and determined that there were no matters that would require recognition in the financial statements or that may have any effect on its tax-exempt status. As of june 30, 2024, the statute of limitations for tax years 2020 through 2022 remains open with the u.s. Federal jurisdiction or the various states and local jurisdictions in which the organization files tax returns. It is the organization's policy to recognize interest and/or penalties related to uncertain tax positions, if any, in income tax expense. As of june 30, 2024, the organization had no accruals for interest and/or penalties.”
