Financial Statement Notes

Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 FIN 48 (ASC 740) footnote

“The Organization follows guidance that clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, including issues relating to financial statement recognition and measurement. This guidance provides that the tax effects from an uncertain tax position can only be recognized in the financial statements if the position is "more-likely-than-not" to be sustained if the position were to be challenged by a taxing authority. The assessment of the tax position is based solely on the technical merits of the position, without regard to the likelihood that the tax position may be challenged. The Organization is exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, though it would be subject to tax on income unrelated to its exempt purpose, should such revenues exist. The Organization has processes presently in place to ensure the maintenance of its tax-exempt status; to identify and report unrelated income and to identify and evaluate other matters that may be considered tax positions. The Organization has determined that there are no material uncertain tax positions that require recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.”

So, the first step in out-innovating climate change is to support solutions where they start: discovery.
