| Desc | Solar Cookers International (SCI) is a 501(c)3 non-profit dedicated to improving human health, economic well-being, womens empowerment, and the environment by promoting climate-friendly solar cooking for vulnerable populations worldwide. SCI leads through advocacy, research, and strengthening the capacity of the global solar cooking movement. Because cooking duties fall mostly on the shoulders of women and girls in many parts of the world, SCI weaves a strong network of global collaborators to empower vulnerable women in world regions of greatest need. SCI has a long-term strategy to drive the accelerating global demand for solar-thermal cooking technologies. With approximately 2.4 billion people cooking over open fires, the need for clean cooking solutions like solar cooking is great. SCI is the worldwide hub for international solar cooking advocacy, capacity building, and research. SCI strengthens grassroots solar cooking activities globally, and advocates for clean, sustainable cooking solutions through the United Nations and other international forums. SCI connects over 500 collaborators in over 140 countries to amplify global solar cooking adoption and help people in vulnerable regions as they build resilience in a rapidly changing world.SCIs analysis of solar cooker data estimates that over 30 million metric tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions have been prevented because of existing solar cookers around the globe. Preventing 30 million tons of CO2 is equivalent to not driving 76 billion miles or not burning 34 billion pounds of coal. SCI has identified more than 4 million solar cookers which could cook more than 7.7 billion meals over their lifetime. Solar cooking uses free fuel, saves forests and habitats, increases safety for women and girls, lessens indoor air pollution and related health issues, and reduces greenhouse gas emissions. SCIs long-term plans focus on scaling up solar cooking to accelerate impacts. Countries can save millions, even billions of dollars annually, through avoided health and environmental costs by switching from cooking over open fires to solar cooking. If everyone currently cooking using polluting fuels switched to solar cooking of the time, over 1 trillion dollars could be saved annually across the globe.See continuation of program service accomplishments at Federal Supplemental Information. | Desc |

| Part X : FIN48 Footnote | Pursuant to a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service, the Council is exempt from Federal and State income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue code and Section 23701(d) of the California Revenue and Taxation Code. Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been made.SCI has accounted for Uncertainty of income taxes as required by the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. SCI uses a comprehensive model for recognizing, and measuring, presenting and disclosing in the financial statement tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is "more likely than not" that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the "More likely than not" test, no tax benefit is recorded. The effect of applying this model and the resulting identification of uncertain tax positions, if any, were not considered significant for financial reporting purposes. |

Receiving acceptance as a Climate Action Network (CAN) International member. Being nominated for The Earthshot Prize, to be awarded in late 2022. RESEARCHSCI is committed to supporting improvements in solar cooking policy, practice, and research by building an evidence-base to demonstrate effectiveness. SCI is also committed to promoting the Solar Cooker Performance Evaluation Process (PEP) as a tool for proving the suitability of solar cookers and driving improvement in designs. SCIs PEP measures the standard cooking power of a solar cooker in Watts providing objective data for manufacturing and purchasing decisions. Based on the internationally accepted ASAE 580.1 Standard that harmonizes with the International Organization of Standards(ISO), evaluation results provide customers--such as individuals, and United Nations agencies--with an objective, reliable evaluation of different solar cooking technologies. SCI helps build local economies and sector capacity with the PEP. SCI has PEP testing centers in three locations (Nairobi, Kenya; Nyack, New York, USA; and the Sacramento area, California, USA). Simultaneously, SCI is increasing its capacity to gather data and track metrics.SCI conducted the following research efforts in the fiscal year 2021/2022: Presenting the PEP at the ISES Solar World Conference. Submitting an approved PEP manuscript for the ISES Solar World Conference Proceedings. See https://proceedings.ises.org/paper/swc2021/swc2021-0078-Bigelow.pdf to read the article.
