Return Reference Explanation
Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 FIN 48 (ASC 740) footnote The Foundation received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service in 2001 recognizing the exemption from federal income taxes on income related to its exempt purpose under Section 501(c)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been made on the financial statements. Current accounting standards require the Foundation to disclose the amount of potential benefit or obligation to be realized as a result of an examination performed by a taxing authority. For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, management has determined that the Foundation does not have any tax positions that result in any uncertainties regarding the possible impact on the Foundation's financial statements.

Return Reference Explanation
Schedule I, Part I, Line 2 Procedures for monitoring use of grant funds. The Foundation assures its grant funds are used for their intended purpose primarily through making payments only after the grant requirements have been accomplished and documented. The preponderance of grants covers the installation of clean energy technologies or the acquisition of land that lend themselves to this monitoring approach. Where this approach does not apply, performance and related payments are tied to reaching a specific performance benchmark, as noted in the grant agreement, and providing documentation of having attained this benchmark and the use of grant funds to date. In addition, a final report is required from grantees reporting on the outcomes of the project against those anticipated and a detailed report on the use of Foundation funds in support of those outcomes.

Subsequent to this review, the Chair of the Foundation's Audit Committee and another Board member review the Form 990. They discuss and resolve any questions or clarifications with Foundation staff.

Form 990, Part VI, Line 12c Conflict of interest policy The foundation's conflict of interest policy covers all Trustees, Officers, members of a Committee and all employees.
