Financial Statement Notes

Part X, Line 2-Text in footnote regarding FIN 48 (ASC 740)

“The accounting standard on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under that guidance, the Organization may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. Examples of tax positions include the tax-exempt status of the Organization and various positions related to the potential sources of unrelated business taxable income (UBIT). The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. There were no unrecognized tax benefits identified or recorded as liabilities as of year end.”

IRS990/Desc0Born Free USA raised awareness on the public health and safety, animal welfare, conservation, and biodiversity issues associated with keeping wild animals in captivity and worked to increase legislative support to further restrict the private keeping of exotic wildlife to reduce instances of human injury and death, zoonotic disease transfer, invasive species, and the loss of threatened wildlife. The organization released research on the zoonotic disease risk posed by fur farming as well as a new report highlighting the dangers and welfare impact of holding big cats captive in zoos. A photography book charting the stories of primates rescued from the exotic pet trade by Born Free USA was published in the fall; educating a new audience on this important issue. New materials to help homeowners deal humanely with unwanted wildlife were released in the fall. The Organization used social media, mainstream media, and educational outreach materials to advance its charitable purposes, with resources including scientific reports, webinars, podcast interviews, and first-hand investigations. It maintains an interactive database of deadly and dangerous captive wild animal incidents to shed light on the magnitude of the issue of captive exotic animals, along with a database of trap-related injuries and deaths to make the public aware of the dangers of traps to wildlife, pets, and humans on public and private lands. As part of its newly revitalized work with young people, a Youth Council was launched to empower young leaders and grow their impact.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0Born Free USA delivered a comprehensive program of training and capacity building to wildlife law enforcement officials in eleven West African countries, including judges, prosecutors, customs officers, wildlife authorities, police, INTERPOL, and fisheries authorities (a total of 247individuals received training over 74 training days). In addition, Born Free USA supported countries with the development of National Wildlife Crime Strategies and Wildlife Law Enforcement Task Forces, which are a requirement under the WASCWC. Born Free USA additionally helped West African countries strengthen their legal framework by providing targeted recommendations and drafting assistance to strengthen legislation. Born Free USA provided specialized wildlife law enforcement mentoring to Wildlife Law Enforcement Task Force officers across West Africa remotely, and in person in Nigeria, Ghana, Benin and Ivory Coast. Born Free USA carried out a capacity assessment and made recommendations for ten ECOWAS countries (the Gambia, Guinea, Ghana, Liberia, Nigeria, Benin, Cte dIvoire, Niger, Togo and Senegal) regarding the disposal of confiscated specimens. Born Free USA conducted educational outreach activities that promoted efforts to combat wildlife crime.
