| Part V, Line 4: | EFF'S Board-designated endowment was established to further the charitable purposes of the organization by providing general support in meeting the operational needs of the organization, as determined by the EFF Board of Directors. EFF's donor-restricted endowment was established to permanently pay the salary of the holder of the Adams Chair for Internet Freedom. |
| Part X, Line 2: | EFF is exempt from taxation under Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3) and California Revenue and Taxation Code Section 23701d and the Massachusetts General Law Chapter 180, Section 4, and is considered by the IRS to be an organization other than a private foundation. Generally accepted accounting principles provide accounting and disclosure guidance about positions taken by an organization in its tax returns that might be uncertain. Management has considered its tax positions and believes that all of the positions taken by EFF in its federal and state exempt organization tax returns are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination. EFF's returns are subject to examination by federal and state taxing authorities, generally for three and four years, respectively, after they are filed. |
