Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

Statement Regarding Amended Return

This amended form 990 was filed to report corrections in part ii of schedule a and to adjust donor address information in part i of schedule b. With respect to part ii of schedule a, the amount of excess contributions was revised, and the reporting of gross receipts from related activities was also properly relocated. These changes produced a revised calculation of the organization's public support percentage.

Financial Statement Notes

fin 48 detail

The Center is exempt from federal income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and has been classified as an organization that is not a private foundation. income from certain activities not directly related to the Center's tax-exempt purpose would be subject to taxation as unrelated business income. The Center had no unrelated business income for the year ended December 31, 2015 and 2014. The Center adopted a policy that clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity's financial statements. The policy prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement principles for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return that are not certain to be realized. The implementation of this policy had no impact on the Center's financial statements. The Center's tax returns are subject to review and examination by federal, state and local authorities for a period of three years. While no income tax returns are currently being examined by the IRS, tax years since 2012 remain open.

IRS990/Desc0PostMDG The PostMDG project's objective is to influence the United Nations' ("UN") post-2015 sustainable development agenda. This is CCC's fourth quadrennial flagship project, which worked with the world's top economists including Oxford University, The World Bank, The Center for Global Development, Wharton Business School, and International Food Policy Research Institute to identify the costs and to develop a new set of goals to replace the UN's Millennium Development goals. The Center proposed development priorities for future achievement in the next 15 years. These priorities will determine the optimal use for $700 billion in foreign aid to alleviate the world's biggest problems such as poverty, health and more. The Center distributes this information broadly, targeting the UN missions, governments, development agencies, journalists, and the public in order to positively shape the final objective of the UN's new targeted goals.

IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0The Center is exempt from federal income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and has been classified as an organization that is not a private foundation. income from certain activities not directly related to the Center's tax-exempt purpose would be subject to taxation as unrelated business income. The Center had no unrelated business income for the year ended December 31, 2015 and 2014. The Center adopted a policy that clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity's financial statements. The policy prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement principles for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return that are not certain to be realized. The implementation of this policy had no impact on the Center's financial statements. The Center's tax returns are subject to review and examination by federal, state and local authorities for a period of three years. While no income tax returns are currently being examined by the IRS, tax years since 2012 remain open.
