Financial Statement Notes

Part X, Line 2:

“The Organization records a liability for uncertain tax positions when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The Organization continually evaluates expiring statutes of limitations, audits, proposed settlements, changes in tax law and new authoritative rulings. The federal and state tax returns for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014 are subject to examination by the taxing agencies. The Organization classifies income and excise tax assessments, if any, for interest in interest expense and for penalties as a component of operating expenses. As of December 31, 2014, management has determined that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Organization's financial statements.”

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0CELF Student Ambassador and Life StrawCELF Student Ambassadors (SAMs) receive training in sustainability issues, gain hands-on experience and develop interpersonal skills while making a difference in their own community and communities around the globe. Ambassadors build relationships within their schools and with students from other high schools while representing CELF at local, regional and national events.In addition to gaining the opportunity to present at numerous local events this spring, Student Ambassadors are eligible to represent CELF at two national conferences over Earth Day weekend. Click on the hyperlinked event names below for further program information.Lack of safe drinking water is a global health crisis. Each year, 443 million school days are lost due to water-related illness which keeps students from attending school. Every 20 seconds, a child dies from a water-related illness, and more than 783 million people do not have access to an improved water source. Hundreds of millions more use municipal water systems that are poorly maintained and deliver contaminated water. In addition, safe water is vital for economic growth. In many nations, water shortage is a cause of violent conflict. Without safe water, there is no sustainable future for much of the developing world.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0Professional development:The concepts of sustainability are universal, but every district and school starts from a different place in implementing sustainability education. CELF customized professional development (PD) helps schools infuse curriculum and school culture with education for a sustainable future. PD services include: gap analyses of curriculum maps; on-site Education for Sustainability training and resources (specific to grade level and school or district needs and interests); and review of facilities "green" improvements to help infuse projects into curriculum. We provide a framework for integrating sustainability concepts into existing curricula, and review curriculum exemplars and case studies on implementation of sustainability education at other schools. Presenters answer questions, provide feedback and share lesson plans and curricular materials.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActyOtherGrp/Desc0CELF Footprinting Program:Students give the school a report card, based on their own environmental audit. This program includes a full day on-site with students and staff, as well as advanced preparation and professional development for teachers and the school's on-site experts on how the program works, how it can be used as a teaching tool and how to integrate it with state curriculum standards. Students investigate how the school uses resources and disposes of waste, taking a guided tour of the facility while they collect data. CELF calculates the school's ecological footprint. Student's develop an action plan to share their findings and reduce the school's footprint.

IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0The Organization records a liability for uncertain tax positions when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The Organization continually evaluates expiring statutes of limitations, audits, proposed settlements, changes in tax law and new authoritative rulings. The federal and state tax returns for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014 are subject to examination by the taxing agencies. The Organization classifies income and excise tax assessments, if any, for interest in interest expense and for penalties as a component of operating expenses. As of December 31, 2014, management has determined that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Organization's financial statements.
