DescPROJECT SUPPORT PROGRAMOur Project Support Program provides an organizational home in which activists can develop campaigns and programs with a minimum of bureaucracy. Since our founding in 1982, we have helped launch more than 150 campaigns. In fiscal year 2015, our Project Support Program supported 67 projects - providing financial management, administration, technical assistance, and training. Earth Island projects are located across the United States and the impact of their work reaches around the globe - advancing the causes of wildlife protection, environmental education and leadership development, clean energy and climate change, international and indigenous communities, environmental restoration and preservation, and sustainability and community resilience. During this period, the Project Support Program adopted five new sponsored projects and graduated one to independent 501(c)(3) status. Our support programs included webinar trainings, facilitated peer support calls, leadership coaching and a 2-day Summit designed to build capacity through skill development, networking, and collaboration.NEW LEADERS INITIATIVESNew Leaders Initiative identifies, honors, supports and sustains outstanding environmental youth leaders in North America, and confers the premiere environmental youth prize, the Brower Youth Awards. Since 2000, the Brower Youth Award has recognized outstanding youth leaders who are making strides in the environmental movement. Each year, six young people based in North America are awarded the prize, joining a growing and diverse cadre of green leaders who are publicly recognized for their sustainable projects, innovative ideas and informed analyses. Year-round coaching is provided to award winners, and additional services are offered to a broader spectrum of youth environmental leaders through the Movement in Green strategic support and micro-grant program. A regular speaker series, Rooted and Rising, compliments the award and support programs by offering an intergenerational forum to discussion solutions to pressing environmental issues. RESTORATION INITIATIVESOur Restoration Initiatives small grants program provides support to community-based groups that are bringing back to life once polluted streams, wetlands, and open space. We believe that ecological restoration is a core task of twenty-first-century environmentalism.EARTH ISLAND JOURNALEarth Island Journal is an award-winning quarterly magazine that goes beyond the daily headlines with investigative reporting, incisive commentary, and art. Earth Island Journal covers the environment from diverse angles, including: wilderness protection, animals rights, energy and climate change, extractive industries, chemicals and pollution, food and farming, environmental injustice, and sustainable development. We explore environmental concerns from a wide range of perspectives from the personal to the political, the local to the global and produce the type of investigative reporting found in few other environmental magazines. We put our principles next to our reporting and we marshal the facts to make a passionate argument for defending Earth.Desc

Form And Line ReferenceFormAndLineReferenceDescExplanationExplanationTxt
Part X : FIN48 FootnoteEarth Island is exempt from Federal income and California franchise taxes under provisions of Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and Section 23701d of the California Revenue and Taxation Code, respectively. However, tax-exempt organizations are subject to Federal income and California franchise taxes for unrelated business taxable income and provision for income taxes is provided for the unrelated business taxable income, if any.Earth Island files the required annual tax returns with the Internal Revenue Service and the California Franchise Tax Board, and these returns are subject to examination by the taxing authorities generally for three years and four years for Federal and California, respectively, starting with the date of filing or the due date of the tax return, whichever is later. Management has considered its tax positions and believes that all of the positions taken in the federal and state tax returns are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination.Earth Island has elected to utilize Section 501(h) of the Internal Revenue Code, which allows limited lobbying activities by Section 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations.
Part XI, Line 2d: Other revenue amounts included in F/S but not included on form 990Add back 1/1/14 to 6/30/14 balance $4780966
Part XII, Line 2d: Other expenses and losses per audited F/SAdd back 1/1/14 to 6/30/14 balance $5098008
