ExplanationThe organization is exempt from income taxes under Internal Revenue Code 501(c)(3) and applicable DC statutes. No provision for income taxes is required at June 30, 2015, as the Organization had no net unrelated business income. The organization follows FASB ASC 740-10, Income Taxes the authoritative guidance relating to accounting for uncertainity in income taxes. These provisions provide consistent guidance for the accounting for uncertainity in income taxes recognized in an entity's financial statements and prescribe a threshold of "more likely than not" for recognition and derecognition of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Organization performed an evaluation of uncertain tax positions for the year ended June 30, 2015, and determined that there were no matters that would require recognition in the financial statements or which may have any effect on its tax-exempt status. As of June 30, 2015, the statute of limitations for tax years 2011 through 2013 remains open with federal and DC authorities.ExplanationTxt

ExplanationThe Ocean Foundation's fund and project managers work very closely with foreign grantees on public education, ocean preservation, and achieving the organization's programmatic goals. In addition to regular reporting, the relationship between the Foundation's various funds & projects and foreign grantees is closer to that of a partnership than a passive grantor relationship. Frequent visits and direct involvement in all cases contribute to direct oversight over foreign grant recipients. Other Required Narrative Information - The instructions ask that we report the accounting method used to determine the amounts in Part I, Column F. We have no employees stationed in foreign countries, so there is no payroll included. We analyzed line item detail for Consultants and Service Providers of all types, Meeting and Conferences, and Travel, as well as Grants Awarded, to identify monies spent in foreign regions and that is the method used for reporting on Column F. For Parts II and III the accounting method used was to include and report all foreign grantees (subject to the Part II threshold). Part II and Part III amounts are included in Part I column F (which is therefore the total spent in each region on all types of activity).ExplanationTxt
