FORM 990, PART XII, LINE 2C:

The organizations oversight policy has not changed.

Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been recorded in the accompanying financial statements. The organization is required to operate in conformity with the provisions of the internal revenue code (irc) to maintain its exempt status. Management analyzes tax positions in jurisdictions where it is required to file income tax returns. Based on its evaluation, management did not identify any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized taxes will significantly increase or decrease. Interest and penalties attributable to income taxes, if any, are included in operating expenses. No such interest or penalties were recorded for the year ended december 31, 2024. The organization is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2021.

IRS990/Desc0RESPONSIBLE ANGLING EDUCATION PROGRAM: 8 WEEK ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION CLINICS TO YOUTH DURING THE SCHOOL YEAR AND SUMMER IN CERTAIN LOCATIONS INCLUDING SOUTH FLORIDA AND THE BAHAMAS. IN THESE CLASSES, EXPERIENCED YOUTH VOLUNTEERS TEACH THE CHILDREN THE BASICS OF THE SPORT OF FISHING AS WELL AS CONSERVATION. THE MATERIAL COVERED RANGES WIDELY FROM SUCH PRACTICAL SKILLS AS KNOT TYING TO MORE DIDACTIC TOPICS, LIKE CONSERVATION LAWS AND PRACTICES. WE USE THE SPORT OF FISHING AS A MECHANISM TO ENGAGE AND INTEREST CHILDREN TO WANT TO LEARN MORE ABOUT LOCAL AQUATIC ECOSYSTEMS. AT THE END OF THE SESSIONS, WE HOST A GRADUATION PARTY USUALLY COINCIDING WITH A FIELD TRIP SUCH AS TO A LOCAL PIER, LAKE, NATURE CENTER, OR DEEP SEA FISHING TRIP. THIS UNIQUE EXPERIENCE, USUALLY A FIRST FOR MANY OF THE KIDS, IS FOLLOWED BY A CATERED MEAL AT WHICH CERTIFICATES AND NEW FISHING EQUIPMENT ARE GIFTED TO EACH GRADUATE. IN 2024, THESE PROGRAMS EDUCATED OVER 300 CHILDREN TO BE RESPONSIBLE ANGLERS, AND UTILIZED OVER 150 VOLUNTEERS.
