Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

“Global zero action is exempt from federal income tax under the provisions of section 501(c)(4) of the internal revenue code and is classified as a social welfare organization and may engage in some political activities, so long as that is not its primary activity. However, any expenditure made for political activities may be subject to tax under section 527(f) of the internal revenue code. For the year ended december 31, 2016, global zero action did not incur any expenditures for political activities subject to taxation. Accordingly, no provision has been made for income taxes. Global zero and global zero action are no longer subject to income tax examinations from u.s. Federal, state or local tax authorities for years ending before december 31, 2013.”

GZA ASPIRES INSTEAD FOR GOVERNMENTAL POLICY AND ACTION TO END RELIANCE ON NUCLEAR WEAPONS AND DEVELOP A NEW MODEL FOR INTERNATIONAL SECURITY IN THE 21ST CENTURY. TO ACHIEVE THESE POLICY GOALS, GZA ADVOCATES THAT THE UNITED STATES: 1) REVERSE COURSE ON PROPOSED $1 TRILLION SPENDING FOR A NEW GENERATION OF NUCLEAR WEAPONS; 2) RETIRE COLD WAR POLICIES THAT MAINTAIN HALF THE NATION'S NUCLEAR ARSENAL LOCKED IN "ATTACK" MODE READY TO LAUNCH AT ANY MOMENT; AND 3) DISMANTLE THE AUTHORITY EVERY AMERICAN PRESIDENT HAS TO INITIATE A NUCLEAR ATTACK AT THE PUSH OF A BUTTON WITHOUT ADEQUATE SAFEGUARDS AGAINST A DISASTROUS DECISION.

IRS990ScheduleC/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0GZA IS DEVOTED TO THE PROMOTION OF SOCIAL WELFARE WITHIN THE MEANING OF 26 U.S.C. 501(C)(4). DURING 2016, MOST OF ITS EFFORTS WERE FOCUSED ON VOTER EDUCATION WITH RESPECT TO NUCLEAR WEAPONS ISSUES. HOWEVER, FOR A PERIOD OF APPROXIMATELY 8 WEEKS LEADING UP TO THE NOVEMBER 8, 2016 GENERAL ELECTION, GZA SPENT NOMINALLY TO DEVELOP, POST AND PROMOTE MATERIAL ON ITS PUBLIC WEBSITE AND SOCIAL MEDIA CHANNELS (INCLUDING GRAPHIC AND VIDEO CONTENT), AND TO ORGANIZE PUBLIC COMMENTARY AND PUBLIC EVENTS, THAT ADDRESSED THE POSITIONS TAKEN BY THE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES CONCERNING NATIONAL NUCLEAR WEAPONS POLICY, EXPLAINING IN PARTICULAR THE RISKS GZA PERCEIVED WITH RESPECT THAT ONE OF THE CANDIDATES POSED TO NUCLEAR SECURITY. NONE OF THESE ACTIVITIES REQUIRED EITHER REGISTRATION OR PUBLIC REPORTING UNDER APPLICABLE CAMPAIGN FINANCE LAWS. THESE POLITICAL ACTIVITIES DID NOT COMPRISE A SUBSTANTIAL PORTION OF THE ACTIVITIES OF GZA, NOR WERE THEY GZA'S PRIMARY PURPOSE.
