| IRS990ScheduleO/GeneralExplanation/Explanation | 0 | The organization passes the 10% public support test |
| IRS990ScheduleO/GeneralExplanation/Explanation | 1 | because the facts and circumstances indicate it |
| IRS990ScheduleO/GeneralExplanation/Explanation | 2 | operates as a public charity. The board of directors |
| IRS990ScheduleO/GeneralExplanation/Explanation | 3 | are unrelated to the substantial contributors. The |
| IRS990ScheduleO/GeneralExplanation/Explanation | 4 | organization's mission is to produce films for public |
| IRS990ScheduleO/GeneralExplanation/Explanation | 5 | television that lack commercial appeal. They are |
| IRS990ScheduleO/GeneralExplanation/Explanation | 6 | typically about environmental issues, such as a |
| IRS990ScheduleO/GeneralExplanation/Explanation | 7 | current film being made about maintaining intact |
| IRS990ScheduleO/GeneralExplanation/Explanation | 8 | wildlife corridors throughout the Rocky Mountain West. |
| IRS990ScheduleO/GeneralExplanation/Explanation | 9 | Contributions typically come from private foundations |
| IRS990ScheduleO/GeneralExplanation/Explanation | 10 | and individuals. The organization does not have a |
| IRS990ScheduleO/GeneralExplanation/Explanation | 11 | fundraising plan for the general public because this |
| IRS990ScheduleO/GeneralExplanation/Explanation | 12 | has not proven to be cost effective. The organization |
| IRS990ScheduleO/GeneralExplanation/Explanation | 13 | received grants from public charities in 2013 that it |
| IRS990ScheduleO/GeneralExplanation/Explanation | 14 | believes will permit it to meet the 33.3% public support |
| IRS990ScheduleO/GeneralExplanation/Explanation | 15 | percentage for 2009-2013 and later periods. |
| IRS990ScheduleO/GeneralExplanation/Explanation | 16 | FILM PRODUCTION COSTS 131500. BANK FEES 140. |
