| Desc | Northeastern Minnesotans for Wilderness (NMW) leads a national campaign to protect the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness and the larger Rainy River Drainage Basin from sulfide-ore copper mining. Pollution from proposed copper mining near the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness and in the drainage basin would flow into a national wilderness area (Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness), Ontarios wilderness park (Quetico Provincial Park), and a national park (Voyageurs National Park). A ban on copper mining in the drainage basin would ensure the long-term ecological health of these three nationally significant lakeland areas.NMW has engaged multiple groups in this advocacy and education effort, including conservation organizations, hunting and fishing groups, wilderness-edge businesses, businesses nationwide, and other organizations and groups. NMWs approach has been to educate the public and policymakers through the use of modern science of the Quetico-Superior ecosystem and of sulfide-ore mining and through accurate mapping of the ecosystem and proposed mine districts. NMW operates an education center, called Sustainable Ely, near the location of proposed mine districts. Through these endeavors, NMW works to protect the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, Ontarios Quetico Provincial Park, and Voyageurs National Park.NMWs Goal: NMW seeks permanent protection of the Rainy River Drainage Basin from sulfide-ore copper mining | Desc |

| Explanation | The Organization has a tax-exempt status under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and has adopted Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, ASC 740-10. The Organizations policy is to evaluate uncertain tax positions, at least annually, for the potential for income tax exposure from unrelated business income or from loss of nonprofit status. The Organization continues to operate consistent with its original exemption application and each year takes the necessary actions to maintain its exempt status. It has been classified as an organization that is not a private foundation under the Internal Revenue Code and charitable contributions by donors are tax deductible. In compliance with its exempt status, the Organization annually files a Return of Organization Exempt From Income Tax (Form 990). The returns for the years ending December 31, 2013 and later remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. | ExplanationTxt |
