Financial Statement Notes

Part V, Line 4:

“The temporarily restricted net assets at December 31, 2016 include the following: Temporarily restricted for: Student Ambassador / Life Straw $ 25,927 Professional Development and Training 33,794 Total $ 59,721”

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, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016 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, 2016, management has determined that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Organization's financial statements.”

IRS990/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.
