IRS990ScheduleO/GeneralExplanation/Explanation0The organization passes the 10% public support test
IRS990ScheduleO/GeneralExplanation/Explanation1because the facts and circumstances indicate it
IRS990ScheduleO/GeneralExplanation/Explanation2operates as a public charity. The board of directors
IRS990ScheduleO/GeneralExplanation/Explanation3are unrelated to the substantial contributors. The
IRS990ScheduleO/GeneralExplanation/Explanation4organization's mission is to produce films for public
IRS990ScheduleO/GeneralExplanation/Explanation5television that lack commercial appeal. They are
IRS990ScheduleO/GeneralExplanation/Explanation6typically about environmental issues, such as a
IRS990ScheduleO/GeneralExplanation/Explanation7current film being made about maintaining intact
IRS990ScheduleO/GeneralExplanation/Explanation8wildlife corridors throughout the Rocky Mountain West.
IRS990ScheduleO/GeneralExplanation/Explanation9Contributions typically come from private foundations
IRS990ScheduleO/GeneralExplanation/Explanation10and individuals. The organization does not have a
IRS990ScheduleO/GeneralExplanation/Explanation11fundraising plan for the general public because this
IRS990ScheduleO/GeneralExplanation/Explanation12has not proven to be cost effective. The organization
IRS990ScheduleO/GeneralExplanation/Explanation13received grants from public charities in 2013 that it
IRS990ScheduleO/GeneralExplanation/Explanation14believes will permit it to meet the 33.3% public support
IRS990ScheduleO/GeneralExplanation/Explanation15percentage for 2009-2013 and later periods.
