“Form 990 is prepared by an outside tax professional. The form is then reviewed by the organization's management. After a full review, the final version of the tax return is provided to all members of the organization's voting body. A representative of management authorizes the final form 990 which is then e-filed with the internal revenue service.”
“Members of the Board of Directors review all potential conflicts of interest periodically. Top management and all Board members are required to disclose potential conflicts and any related party affiliations. The organization seeks full transparency on all relationships. Any potential conflicts (in fact or appearance) are discussed openly and resolved in accordance with the organization's policies and procedures.”
“Cool Effect does not have any employees. Overlook Investment Inc., an independent fund management company owned by Cool Effect Co-Founder Richard H. Lawrence, Jr., provides ongoing staffing and managerial services. These estimated payroll costs are allocated to Cool Effect based on analysis of employee time studies.”

“Tax returns are available for download from several websites and by request from the organization's office in Greenbrae, California.”
“All of the organization's governing documents, financial statements, and other legal filings are maintained in a secure environment and held available for inspection by tax authorities and the general public. Tax returns are posted annually to our website and to www.guidestar.org (where they are available for viewing as electronic copies) and are also available by request from the organization's office.”
“Financial statement presentation follows the recommendations of ASC 740, Income Taxes. Under ASC 740, Cool Effect is required to report information regarding its exposure to various tax positions taken by Cool Effect and requires a two-step process that separates recognition from measurement. The first step is determining whether a tax position has met the recognition threshold; the second step is measuring a tax position that meets the recognition threshold. Management believes that Cool Effect has adequately evaluated its current tax positions and has concluded that as of June 30, 2025, Cool Effect does not have any uncertain tax positions for which a reserve or an accrual for a tax liability would be necessary.Cool Effect has received notification from the Internal Revenue Service and the State of California that it qualifies for tax-exempt status under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and Section 23701d of the California Revenue and Taxation Code. The exemptions are subject to periodic review by the federal and state taxing authorities and management is confident that Cool Effect continues to satisfy all federal and state statutes in order to qualify for continued tax exemption status. Cool Effect may periodically receive unrelated business income (such as sublease rental income) requiring Cool Effect to file separate tax returns under federal and state statutes. Under such conditions, Cool Effect calculates and accrues the applicable taxes.”

| IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 0 | Financial statement presentation follows the recommendations of ASC 740, Income Taxes. Under ASC 740, Cool Effect is required to report information regarding its exposure to various tax positions taken by Cool Effect and requires a two-step process that separates recognition from measurement. The first step is determining whether a tax position has met the recognition threshold; the second step is measuring a tax position that meets the recognition threshold. Management believes that Cool Effect has adequately evaluated its current tax positions and has concluded that as of June 30, 2025, Cool Effect does not have any uncertain tax positions for which a reserve or an accrual for a tax liability would be necessary.Cool Effect has received notification from the Internal Revenue Service and the State of California that it qualifies for tax-exempt status under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and Section 23701d of the California Revenue and Taxation Code. The exemptions are subject to periodic review by the federal and state taxing authorities and management is confident that Cool Effect continues to satisfy all federal and state statutes in order to qualify for continued tax exemption status. Cool Effect may periodically receive unrelated business income (such as sublease rental income) requiring Cool Effect to file separate tax returns under federal and state statutes. Under such conditions, Cool Effect calculates and accrues the applicable taxes. |
