Return Reference Explanation
Part V, Line 4: The Organization's endowment consists of nineteen individual funds established for a variety of purposes and consists entirely of donor-restricted funds. The Organization has adopted investment and spending policies for endowment assets that attempt to provide a predictable stream of funding for programs supported by its endowment while seeking to maintain the purchasing power of the endowment assets. Under this policy, as approved by the Board of Trustees, the endowment assets are invested with a focus on earning market returns or better while assuming a moderate level of investment risk.
Part X, Line 2: The Organization follows the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board's (the "FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 740, "Income Taxes," relating to accounting and reporting for uncertainty in income taxes. Because of the Organization's general tax-exempt status, the adoption of ASC Topic 740 has not had, and is not expected to have, a material impact on the Organization's financial statements. The annual compliance and tax filings of the Organization for 2011, 2012 and 2013 are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Services, as well as by other various state and local authorities, generally for three years after they are submitted.

ReturnReference Explanation
Grants and other assistance outside of the United States EDF has a number of grants and other assistance it provides to other entities. The majority of these grants are to other environmental and like minded entities that perform work alongside of EDF in the accomplishment of its mission. EDF monitors the performance of the grant recipients by written reports, site visits, verbal communication and review. Partial payments are typically made on a grant until a pattern of proven achievements on objectives is demonstrated. In the end EDF typically prepares a report to funding entities on the use of grant funds both by itself and by any grant recipients.

Return Reference Explanation
Part I, Line 2: The Organization has a number of grants and other assistance it provides to other charities and quasi-governmental entities in the U.S. The majority of these grants are to other environmental 501(c)3 non-profit entities that perform work alongside of EDF in the accomplishment of its mission. Some of these are "flow-through" grants from a funding entity or Foundation that supports EDF's work. EDF monitors the performance of the grant recipients by written reports, site visits, verbal communication and review. Partial payments are typically made on a sub-grant until a pattern of proven achievements on objectives is demonstrated. In the end EDF typically prepares a report to funding entities on the use of grant funds -both by itself and by any sub-grant recipients.

Return Reference Explanation
Form 990, Part III, Line 4a 1.Climate and Energy - To avert disastrous climate change, EDF focuses on the largest and best opportunities to reduce emissions of climate pollutants such as carbon dioxide and methane. In China, EDF advised the government on seven emissions trading pilot programs covering more than a billion tons of carbon dioxide emissions. In the United States, EDF and its allies advocated and defended strong measures in EPA's proposed Clean Power Plan to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from existing power plants, the largest U.S. source. EDF also worked in nine states, including California, Texas and New York, to reduce emissions by improving energy efficiency and use of renewable energy. Globally, EDF and others put together an agreement among dozens of governments and corporations to halve deforestation by 2020; deforestation represents 15% of carbon dioxide emissions. EDF also led efforts to reduce emissions of methane, which accounts for one quarter of the global warming experienced today. EDF worked with nearly 100 academic researchers and companies to collect data on methane leakage from natural gas facilities and helped win the first direct regulation of methane, in Colorado.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4b 2. Oceans To improve the health of the oceans and increase future supplies of seafood, EDF aims to sharply reduce overfishing and achieve a dramatic recovery in fish populations. EDF advocates secure fishing rights, called "catch shares" in the United States, to give fishermen a financial stake in conserving fish for the future. In 2014, the Marine Stewardship Council acknowledged the results of EDF's work on the U.S. West Coast when it certified 13 species of Pacific groundfish as sustainable; now more than two-thirds of the fish caught in U.S. federal waters are managed with catch shares. EDF also focused on establishing secure fishing rights in Mexico, the Caribbean and the European Union. In Europe, where 75% of fisheries are overfished, EDF worked with fishermen in Spain, Sweden and the UK to improve the situation and advised government officials on major reforms in fisheries law to help make the transition to sustainable fishing.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4c 3. Ecosystems EDF develops ways to meet people's needs for food, water and other natural resources while improving ecosystems, rather than harming them. EDF worked with food companies including Campbell's Soup, General Mills and Smithfield on fertilizer efficiency plans that will help reduce serious fertilizer pollution of air and water; in all, companies representing 30% of North American food and beverage sales adopted such plans for their agricultural suppliers. EDF also worked with farm and ranch owners on programs to preserve habitat for threatened and endangered species, 75% of which are found on private land. For the Colorado River Delta, years of work with the U.S. and Mexico governments by EDF and its partners led to the 2014 release of a "pulse flow" of water to mimic the natural spring floods. EDF also helped guide efforts to restore coastal wetlands in Louisiana, an area harmed by the BP Deepwater Horizon oil disaster.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4d, Description of Program Service: 4. Health EDF works to improve human health by reducing exposure to harmful chemicals and pollution. In 2014, Walmart put into action a policy developed with EDF the previous year to phase out potentially harmful ingredients from tens of thousands of products in its U.S. stores and replace them with safer ingredients. EDF also helped strengthen and advance a bill in Congress, with bipartisan support, to improve the nation's chemicals law. Two important court decisions, the culmination of years of clean air advocacy and legal defense by EDF and its partners, will ensure that millions of Americans breathe healthier air: The U.S. Court of Appeals upheld strict limits on mercury, arsenic and other toxic pollutants from power plants, and the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of the Cross State Air Pollution Rule, designed to protect people from power plant pollution drifting across state borders. Threats to the environment are urgent, but they can be solved. EDF's 475 scientists, economists, lawyers and policy experts work with others to find practical solutions. EDF and its partners have developed a set of policy tools that have delivered extraordinary results and can now be brought to scale. There is every reason to be hopeful, since more people are joining in efforts to create environmental solutions, and urgency puts pressure on leaders to take action. A more comprehensive report of EDF's program service accomplishments for the year is available online at www.EDF.org/annual-reports/2014
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11A - The Form 990 is prepared by EisnerAmper LLP, based on financial statements audited by EisnerAmper and other internally generated information by the Environmental Defense Fund's Finance Department. The Form is further reviewed by EDF's Finance Department (which provides independent verification of certain information) and members of Senior Management. The Audit Committee then reviews any significant issues or judgments relating to disclosures in EDF's Form 990. Finally, copies are provided to the full Board of Directors for their comment prior to filing with the IRS.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c Part VI, Section B, Line 12a, b and c It is the responsibility of all Trustees and employees of the Environmental Defense Fund to familiarize themselves with this Policy and to comply and to ensure compliance of related parties with it. In addition to the disclosures required by this Policy, annually each Trustee and employee is provided with a statement to complete and return indicating that they have read, understand and are in compliance with this Policy. For both Trustees and employees, there is a process where the annual statement of compliance may be effected and transmitted via e-mail or other electronic means. Trustees who knowingly or unknowingly violate this Policy are subject to censure or removal, at the discretion of the Board of Trustees. Employees who knowingly or unknowingly violate this Policy will be subject to disciplinary action, including possible dismissal.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15 Determination of Compensation of the President EDF uses a Human Relations Committee to evaluate the compensation of the President of the organization who is the highest-ranking employee. The Human Relations Committee of the Board of Trustees is composed of three independent Trustees and the Chairman of the Board who meet annually to assess the President's performance and compensation. The Human Relations Committee uses the services of an independent compensation consultant to provide demographic and comparative salary information for peer-group organizations, with focus on the President/CEO. The compensation consultant provides information from surveys, public disclosures of other charities, and proprietary sources. The Committee reviews this information, discusses the findings amongst themselves and not in the presence of the President of the organization. The Committee has a portion of its meeting where it does discuss compensation and performance with the President but the decision-making segments of the meeting are held in executive session. Minutes of the meeting are kept and retained by the Chair of the Human Relations Committee. The Human Relations Committee is aware of the compensation amounts for other key employees and senior management team members but the decisions governing their compensation are the purview of the President of the organization.
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19 Public Availability of Governing Documents Part VI, Section C, Line 18 EDF was formed in 1967 and a copy of Form 1023 is unavailable from this early period of time.
