“After eaDefense's internal accounting staff drafts the 990, the draft is submitted to the eaDefense corporate officers for their review, reaction, and revision. Additionally, the eaDefense Treasurer/CFO, who is an officer, conducts a further review of an advanced or final draft. Prior to filing with the IRS, the finalized form 990 is distributed to all members of the Board for their review, comments, and approval.”
“The eaDefense conflict policy is covered in orientation sessions for new Board members. Additionally, copies of the policy and related questionnaire are distributed, on an annual basis, to members of the Board of Directors and to eaDefense officers. The questionnaires are completed, signed, and returned to the corporate secretary. Additional questionnaires sent to board members and officers enable the organization to answer PART VI, LINES 1B AND 2, and cover much of the same ground. The Advisory Committee on Ethics and Fundraising considers ethical questions and cases brought to its attention and make recommendations thereon to the Board. Individuals having possible conflicts of interest cannot vote, participate in Board of Committee deliberations on the subject, or be counted toward meeting a quorum (but they may answer questions.)”
“The Board and a committee of the Board, the Advisory Committee on Ethics and Fundraising, is charged with annually evaluating the job performance of the principal salaried eaDefense officers. The Committee also makes recommendations to the Board about each officer's compensation, as well as other senior staff, which the full Board determines.”
“Environmental and Animal Defense did make its documents available but received no request for them from members of the public. These documents have been provided to 3rd parties that requested them as part of business transactions or other verifications, such as Facebook, Network for Good, Paypal Giving Fund, Benevity, TechSoup, Lawpay, Office Evolution, Ent Credit Union, Chase Bank, etc.”

| IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc | 0 | While litigation is an essential part of protecting the environment for the public benefit and the prevention of cruelty to animals through the realistic development of an enforceable body of environmental and animal law through enforcement of existing statutes, regulations and common law principles, many issues are usually overlooked. With scarce availability of resources to devote, many nonprofit public interest litigation organizations focus heavily or exclusively on large national issues that whose litigation creates the largest impact. This often results in less popular, smaller, or nonnational issues concerning individual animals being overlooked by other nonprofits. While foundation, indicator, keystone, or other types of critical or important species to ecosystems probably should be prioritized, Environmental and Animal Defense thinks that every species and each animal should be preserved for the public benefit and each individual animal protected from cruelty. Protecting livestock from cruelty by litigating against a state agency that promulgates regulations that allow cruelty in violation of an authorizing statute certainly prevents cruelty to many animals, but protecting a single canine unlawfully seized to be euthanized also aids in the prevention of cruelty to animals. The same way public interest litigation serves civil rights by defending them in broad strokes in national and historic litigation and through individual defense of those rights, environmental protection and the prevention of cruelty to animals benefits from both large and small issues. The need for this a nonprofit for these public services is demonstrated by the absence of these services by national nonprofits and other organizations. In fact, part of the inspiration to form Environmental and Animal Defense came out of a legal need by a Denver Metropolitan Area animal shelter. A woman who was fostering a dog for this animal shelter refused to return the dog to the shelter when it became ill for medical treatment. The shelter attempted to hire an attorney, but could not afford the quoted cost to recover the dog from the woman who unlawfully kept it in her possession. The shelter, worried that the dog would die without legal intervention quickly, reached out for legal assistance to the only other available source, social media. The founders of Environmental and Animal Defense responded and shortly thereafter the dog was returned to the animal shelter for medical treatment. There was no other organization available to the animal shelter to provide legal services to prevent the cruelty to this dog through failing to provide medical treatment. Very few groups rarely take on these types of cases unless it is to set precedent for larger national impact. |
