accounting for uncertainty in income taxes	The Council on Foreign Relations has adopted the provisions of accounting standard codification ("ASC") 740, "accounting for uncertainties in income taxes." Asc 740-10 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return including issues relating to financial statement recognition and measurement. This section provides that the tax effect from an uncertain tax position can be recognized in the financial statements only if the position is "more-likely-than-not" to be sustained if the position were to be challenged by a taxing authority. The assessment of the tax position is based solely on the technical merits of the position, without regard to the likelihood that the tax position may be challenged. CFR is exempt from federal and new York state income taxation by virtue of being an organization described in section 501 (c)(3) of the IRC and similar provisions of the New York State tax code. Nevertheless, CFR may be subjected to tax on income unrelated to its exempt purpose, unless that income is otherwise excluded by the code. CFR believes that there are no material uncertain tax positions within its financial statements.
Form 990, Schedule D, Part V	The Council holds a substantial endowment for the purposes of funding future programmatic activities, including seminars, publications, website activities and more. The Council's endowment principal shall be left untouched, with the earnings on the investments to be appropriated for expenditures consistent with the Council's tax-exempt mission.

Explanation	The Council on Foreign Relations Fellowship Program offers unique opportunities for mid and senior career professionals focusing on international relations. Selected fellows have the opportunity to broaden their perspective of foreign affairs either by pursuing research or working in a policy-oriented setting. The International Affairs Fellowship (IAF) is the hallmark fellowship program of CFR that aims to bridge the gap between the study and making of U.S. foreign policy by creating the next generation of scholar-practitioners. The program offers its fellows the unique chance to experience a new field and gain a different perspective at a pivotal moment in their careers. The fellowship term is usually twelve months; the fellows are paid in equal monthly installments during the year. The Council does not monitor the use of the grant funds as an individual will only receive his or her monthly installment so long as they demonstrate compliance with the terms of the fellowship program.

The site publishes a rich variety of types of content, including the Daily news Analysis, Backgrounders, interviews, podcasts, opinion pieces, full text of publications from the think tank, resources in support of the various outreach initiatives, videos and transcripts of on-the-record meetings and seminars and more. The site also provides a comprehensive account of the history and activities of CFR in New York and at its Washington D.C. Office. Foreignaffairs.com is the website of CFR's flagship magazine, and offers access to a deep archive of articles and related resources monthly. The Stephen M. Kellen Term Member Program offers promising young leaders in government, media, nongovernmental organizations, law, business, finance, and academia the opportunity to participate in a sustained conversation on international affairs and U.S. foreign policy. The program allows these younger members to interact with seasoned foreign policy experts and participate in a wide variety of events designed especially for them. Each year a new class of term members, between the ages of 30 and 36, is elected to a five-year membership term. The Council on Foreign Relations launched the Independent Task Force Program in 1995 with a Task Force on nuclear nonproliferation, chaired by Stephen J. Hadley, who most recently served as the national security adviser in the George W. Bush administration. More than seventy reports later, Task Forces have become a trademark of the Council. CFRs influence extends beyond traditional foreign policy circles to academic, religious, and civic communities. CFR seeks to promote the work of the institutions programs and scholars to deepen the publics understanding of U.S. foreign policy and international relations. CFR's additional programs are Education, a National Program and a Global Board of Advisors. For more information, please visit the organization's website, www.cfr.org.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 6	The Council on Foreign Relations is first and foremost a membership organization whose individual and corporate members represent a group unmatched in accomplishment. Based throughout the country and around the world, CFR members are exposed to top talent and expertise brought together to generate intellectual conversation regarding the most relevant topics in foreign policy and international relations. With over 5,000 members, the institutions ranks include top government officials, scholars, lawyers, nonprofit professionals, journalists, educators, religious leaders, and business executives. CFR offers two types of membership: life membership for seasoned professionals, and term membership for young, rising leaders in international affairs. CFRs Corporate Program provides a unique forum for private sector leaders to interact with decision-makers from government, media, non-governmental organizations, and academia to discuss issues at the intersection of business and foreign policy.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 7a	The membership of the council on foreign relations elects all of the voting members of the board of directors. Any changes to the articles of incorporation must be approved by a majority of members of the council on foreign relations.
form 990, part vi, line 11a	Process for reviewing Form 990 The Council on Foreign Relation's Form 990 was prepared by a nationally recognized accounting firm in conjunction with the organization's senior management and Audit Committee of the Board. A draft copy of the Form 990 is reviewed by the Audit Committee of the Board and revised as necessary with their input. Once the Audit Committee approves the Form 990 for filing, a copy is circulated to the full Board for their review and approval. Each director of the Board is given the opportunity to comment on the Form 990 prior to its filing.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 12c	Conflict of interest policy enforcement and monitoring Each officer, director, and key employee of the Council on Foreign Relations is required to annually disclose any potential conflicts of interest to the Audit Committee of the Board. The Audit Committee reviews each reported potential conflict of interest and reports it recommendations regarding the reported matters to the full Board for approval. The Council's conflict of interest policy requires any party with a potential conflict to recuse him or herself from the Board's deliberations and also requires that potential conflicts be reported as soon as they arise. Potential conflicts of interest are addressed immediately upon reporting.
form 990, part vi, line 15a & 15b	process for determining compensation The Council on Foreign Relations undertakes a thorough process to ensure that the executive compensation paid to its officers and key employees, including the President, is reasonable, given the market in which the organization operates. The Compensation Committee of the Board, which is composed of independent persons that have no personal interest in the proposed compensation, undertakes an annual review and approval of compensation. To assist their deliberations, the Compensation Committee regularly engages an independent compensation consultant to complete a market assessment and competitive position analysis for the organization's officers and key employees, including the President. The compensation consultant utilizes comparability and benchmarking surveys, as well as Form 990s of comparable organizations, to ensure that the Council compensates its executives commensurate with the market. This process was last undertaken in May 2017. Compensation decisions and reports are contemporaneously documented in the minutes of the meeting of the Compensation Committee.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 19	availability of documents to the public The Council on Foreign Relations' Form 990, governing documents and conflict of interest policy are available to the public upon request. The Council's audited financial statements are available on our website, www.cfr.org.
