Intended Uses of Endowment Funds Schedule D, Part V, Line 4 Investment income earned on the NEH endowment funds is to be used for support of humanities activities in education, public programming, scholarly research, and preservation and is temporarily restricted until used for that purpose. Investment income earned on the Mellon endowment fund is to be used for general unrestricted purposes. During the year, $1,536,000 of the NEH endowment was released by the donor from restrictions of the endowment.
Liability for Uncertain Tax Position (ASC 740) Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 Under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3), and applicable state regulations, IREX is exempt from taxes except for unrelated business income. For financial statement purposes, IREX is required to record a liability for any material tax position taken which does not meet the minimum thresholds of "more likely than not" to be successful under regulatory challenge. No provision for income taxes has been recorded in 2011 or 2010 since management believes there is no material unrelated business income or material uncertain tax positions requiring the recognition of a liability.

Programmatic reports are reviewed by IREX to ensure planned activities are undertaken and that all work is within the scope of the award. Financial reports are reviewed to ensure that grant funds are used for the purposes intended. Site visits by IREX staff are encouraged and taken whenever practical. Additional oversight measures including more frequent reporting, audits, physical evidence of performance, etc., are employed when normal oversight indicates areas of concern.

Housing allowance or residence for personal use Schedule J, Part I, Line 1a Housing allowances are provided to expatriate employees located in IREX overseas field office programs. The provision of the housing allowance is consistent with or lower than what is commonly provided by the US government and other international development agencies when placing employees in overseas locations. Housing allowances are determined on a case by case basis. Factors considered include the cost of housing in the specific country, US government housing allowance guidelines and negotiations with the expatriate employee to be assigned to the location. Three of the highest compensated employees listed on the compensation schedule received housing allowance benefits which were included in their reported compensation. No housing allowance benefits are provided to directors, officers, or key employees.

Number of Individuals Employed FORM 990 Part I, Line 5 & Part V, Line 2a The number of employees listed (165) only reflects the employees paid out of the headquarters office. IREX is an international organization with over 450 total persons (including foreign local hires) in 50 locations throughout the world. The majority of employees are located in IREX country offices. Only one hundred employees are located in the headquarters office in Washington, DC.
ORGANIZATION'S MISSION FORM 990, PART III, LINE 1 International Research & Exchanges Board (IREX) promotes positive lasting change globally. IREX enables local individuals and institutions to build key elements of a vibrant society: quality education, independent media, and strong communities. To strengthen these sectors, IREX's program activities also include conflict resolution, technology for development, women and youth. With more than 40 years of experience, IREX is guided by its enduring values and is committed to organizational excellence, measurable impact and thought leadership. IREX employs field-tested methods and innovative uses of technologies to develop practical and locally-driven solutions with our partners.
PROGRAM SERVICE ACTIVITY #1 FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A IREX's work with local partners advances media professionalism, sustainability, sound media laws, and the local institutions that support independent media and journalists. We work across all media - television, radio, online, print, and mobile. Recognizing the shift to interactive and multiplatform media and the role of citizen journalists, IREX works to provide and integrate new technologies that democratize the flow of information. IREX research in media development, including the Media Sustainability Index, helps inform policymakers, academics, and media practitioners throughout the world as they seek ways to expand citizens' access to information. Of note this year, IREX was a key organizer of the largest ever World Press Freedom Day commemoration May 1-3 in DC. This was the first time the central events were held in the United States. Working with UNESCO and fellow Executive Committee members from the National Endowment for Democracy's Center for International Media Assistance, the UN Foundation, and the U.S. Department of State, IREX helped bring together more than 800 speakers and participants from around the world to examine the evolving challenges to media freedom in the digital age.
PROGRAM SERVICE ACTIVITY #2 FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4B Civil society development engages people, organizations, and government bodies to work in partnership to improve their communities and foster good governance. IREX adapts its approach and training to meet the specific local needs of a community so that stakeholders can better serve their constituents. IREX integrates targeted activities for underrepresented populations, which include women, youth, ethnic minorities, individuals with HIV/AIDS, and people with disabilities. New, low-cost technologies are lowering the threshold for people to improve their lives and be leaders in their communities. While the technologies become more common, skills in applying them effectively for social issues often lag behind. For almost 20 years, IREX has been pioneering the integration of appropriate technology into development activities. Using simple technology, IREX has developed networks of young women leaders in Turkmenistan, helped health organizations send SMS medication reminders to those living with HIV/AIDS in Ukraine, worked with professional and citizen media to use blogs in the Middle East, and brought libraries in Romania and Ukraine into the 21st century.
PROGRAM SERVICE ACTIVITY #3 FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4C Education supports economic development, social reform, and civic participation within a society and provides the foundation for tomorrow's leaders. IREX works with individuals, institutions, and governments to expand access to and improve the quality of education worldwide. IREX designs programs and provides consulting to support lifelong learning starting at the primary and secondary levels, continuing through higher education, and including continuing professional training. Program areas include: Basic Education Development, Higher Education Development, International Education, and Research Support.

Form 990 Review Process Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b Form 990 was reviewed thoroughly by the organization's Treasurer in initial draft and final form prior to filing. The Board of Directors have authorized the members of the Finance Committee to review the final copy of the return. The review by the Finance Committee was conducted prior to filing the Form 990. The Form 990 was made available electronically to all members of the Board of Directors before it was filed with the IRS.
Conflict of Interest Policy Monitoring & Enforcement Form 990, Part VI, Line 12c The Board of Governors at their November 2010 meeting adopted an annual conflict of interest submission disclosure requirement for each Governor. A similar disclosure is required for all members of staff senior management group. In addition, IREX has a written conflict of interest policy covering employees. After the annual disclosures are submitted, they are reviewed by the Office of the President (for Board members) or the Chief of Staff (for senior staff). If there is a potential or perceived conflict, the matter is elevated to the President and Chairperson of the Board (for Board members) or the President and Chief of Staff (for senior staff). If there is a conflict, the person would recuse themselves from any deliberations or decision-making related to the transaction.
Process for Determining Compensation Form 990, Part VI, Lines 15a & 15b The President's annual salary increase and award are determined by the Chairperson of the Board of Governors in consultation with the members of the Executive Committee. Annual salary increases and awards for other officers and key employees are determined by the President based on annually established institutional salary increase ranges for all DC paid employees. Any officer or key employee awards are determined by the President within the parameters of an employee award plan adopted by the Board of Governors. Finally all other officer and key employee salary increases and awards (if any) are reviewed by the President with the Chairperson of the Board. Annually, IREX acquires salary survey information from a variety of sources and makes adjustments of salary ranges, if necessary.
How Documents are Made Available to the Public Form 990, Part VI, Line 19 The organization makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available to the public upon request. Copies of the financial statements are also available on the IREX website.
