Partial payments are typically made on a sub-grant until a pattern of proven achievements on objectives is demonstrated. In the end EDF typically prepares a report to funding entities on the use of grant funds -both by itself and by any sub-grant recipients.

CLIMATE AND ENERGY - NEW CARBON-CUTTING PROGRAMS IN CHINA AND CALIFORNIA, U.S. ACTION TO SLASH CARBON POLLUTION FROM POWER PLANTS AND TRANSPORTATION, AND AN AMBITIOUS NEW STRATEGY FOR THE ELECTRIC GRID ALL OFFER HOPE THAT WE CAN AVERT THE WORST IMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE. THIS YEAR, CHINA LAUNCHED THE FIRST OF SEVEN CARBON TRADING PILOT PROGRAMS, WITH EDF PROVIDING TECHNICAL SUPPORT AND TRAINING. IN CALIFORNIA, A MANDATORY, DECLINING CAP ON CARBON THAT EDF HELPED DESIGN TOOK EFFECT THIS YEAR, AND THE STATE'S CARBON AUCTIONS RAISED ALMOST $400 MILLION FOR CLEAN ENERGY INVESTMENTS. EDF IS WORKING IN A TOTAL OF NINE STATES THAT MAKE UP NEARLY HALF THE U.S. ENERGY MARKET TO STRENGTHEN CLEAN ENERGY REQUIREMENTS AND REMOVE OBSTACLES TO INVESTMENT. EDF ALSO LAUNCHED A SERIES OF EFFORTS TO MEASURE AND REDUCE METHANE EMISSIONS. 2. OCEANS - DECADES OF OVERFISHING AND FAULTY MANAGEMENT HAVE DEVASTATED OCEAN FISHERIES AND COASTAL COMMUNITIES. BUT NOW NEARLY TWO-THIRDS OF THE FISH CAUGHT IN U.S. WATERS ARE BEING MANAGED USING A POWERFUL METHOD THAT EDF ADVOCATES, CALLED CATCH SHARES. THIS YEAR WE SAW THE COMMERCIAL RED SNAPPER FISHERY IN THE GULF OF MEXICO--NEAR COLLAPSE IN 2007 BEFORE EDF HELPED INTRODUCE A CATCH SHARE MANAGEMENT PROGRAM--CONTINUE ITS REMARKABLE RECOVERY. CATCH SHARES EMPOWER FISHERMEN TO BE STEWARDS, BOOSTING PROFITS AND FISH POPULATIONS. AS A RESULT OF THE SUCCESS OF THE U.S. PROGRAMS, EDF HAS BEEN ASKED TO HELP DESIGN CATCH SHARES IN PLACES RANGING FROM MEXICO TO BELIZE, EUROPE AND INDONESIA. IN BELIZE, EDF TEAMED UP WITH THE WILDLIFE CONSERVATION SOCIETY AND LOCAL PARTNERS, AND ILLEGAL FISHING IS DOWN BY MORE THAN 60%. 3. ECOSYSTEMS - THROUGH ON-THE-GROUND PARTNERSHIPS IN 12 STATES, EDF IS HELPING FARMERS SAVE MONEY, IMPROVE WILDLIFE HABITAT AND REDUCE POLLUTION WITHOUT SACRIFICING YIELDS. HISTORICALLY, FARMERS OFTEN APPLIED TOO MUCH FERTILIZER, WITH AS MUCH AS HALF NOT BEING TAKEN UP BY CROPS, INSTEAD POLLUTING AIR AND WATER. TO CUT THIS WASTE AND POLLUTION, EDF IS WORKING WITH UNIVERSITES, FARM GROUPS AND COMPANIES INCLUDING WALMART AND SMITHFIELD FOODS TO HELP FARMERS USE BETTER DATA AND FIELD IMAGERY TO DETERMINE HOW MUCH FERTILIZER THEIR CROPS REALLY NEED. EDF ALSO INTRODUCED HABITAT EXCHANGES THAT LET LANDOWNERS EARN CREDITS FOR RESTORING WILDLIFE HABITAT ON THEIR LAND. ON THE GULF COAST, EDF IS HELPING TO GUIDE THE RESTORATION OF ECOSYSTEMS HARMED BY THE 2010 BP OIL SPILL, WITH AN INITIAL $1.25 BILLION OF BP PENALTIES ALLOCATED SO FAR. 4. HEALTH - WALMART ANNOUNCED A NEW POLICY, WHICH EDF HELPED DEVELOP, TO BEGIN PHASING OUT SOME POTENTIALLY HARMFUL INGREDIENTS FOUND IN EVERYDAY PRODUCTS SUCH AS SHAMPOO, BABY LOTION, COSMETICS AND AIR FRESHENERS, AND REPLACE THEM WITH SAFER INGREDIENTS. EDF ALSO HELPED STRENGTHEN AND ADVANCE A BILL IN CONGRESS TO REFORM THE NATION'S CHEMICALS LAW. NEW YORK CITY RESIDENTS ARE BREATHING THE CLEANEST AIR IN 50 YEARS, THANKS TO A PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN THE CITY AND EDF TO PHASE OUT THE DIRTIEST KINDS OF HEATING OIL, A PROGRAM THAT HAS SAVED 800 LIVES A YEAR. EDF ALSO IS DEFENDING ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY STANDARDS TO ELIMINATE 90% OF TOXIC MERCURY EMISSIONS FROM POWER PLANTS AND SUPPORTING CLEANER FUEL AND VEHICLE STANDARDS THAT WILL CUT NITROGEN OXIDES,PARTICULATES AND VOLATILE ORGANIC COMPOUNDS FROM NEW CARS BY MORE THAN 70%. THE THREATS TO OUR ENVIRONMENT ARE URGENT, BUT THEY CAN BE SOLVED. EDF'S 440 SCIENTISTS, ECONOMISTS, LAWYERS AND POLICY EXPERTS PARTNER WITH OTHERS TO FIND PRACTICAL SOLUTIONS. WE'RE HOPEFUL BECAUSE, WITH OUR PARTNERS, WE'VE DEVELOPED A SET OF POLICY TOOLS THAT HAVE DELIVERED EXTRAORDINARY RESULTS. IF WE BRING THESE TO SCALE IN TIME, THEY WILL DO THE JOB. WE'RE HOPEFUL, TOO, SINCE MORE PEOPLE ARE JOINING WITH US TO BUILD THESE SOLUTIONS, AND SINCE URGENCY PUTS PRESSURE ON LEADERS TO TAKE ACTION. A MORE COMPREHENSIVE REPORT OF EDF'S PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS FOR THE YEAR IS AVAILABLE ONLINE AT WWW.EDF.ORG/ANNUAL-REPORTS/2013. Governance, Management, and Disclosures Review of Form 990 Part VI, Section B, Line 11b Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b - The Form 990 is prepared by EisnerAmper LLP, based on financial statements audited by EisnerAmper and other internally generated information by the Environmental Defense Fund's Finance Department. The Form is further reviewed by EDF's Finance Department (which provides independent verification of certain information) and members of Senior Management. The Audit Committee then reviews any significant issues or judgments relating to disclosures in EDF's Form 990. Finally, copies are provided to the full Board of Directors for their comment prior to filing with the IRS. Monitoring of Conflict of Interest Policy Part VI, Section B, Line 12a It is the responsibility of all Trustees and employees of the Environmental Defense Fund to familiarize themselves with this Policy and to comply and to ensure compliance of related parties with it. In addition to the disclosures required by this Policy, annually each Trustee and employee is provided with a statement to complete and return indicating that they have read, understand and are in compliance with this Policy. For both Trustees and employees, there is a process where the annual statement of compliance may be effected and transmitted via e-mail or other electronic means. Trustees who knowingly or unknowingly violate this Policy are subject to censure or removal, at the discretion of the Board of Trustees. Employees who knowingly or unknowingly violate this Policy will be subject to disciplinary action, including possible dismissal. Determination of Compensation of the President Part VI, Section B, Line 15 EDF uses a Human Relations Committee to evaluate the compensation of the President of the organization who is the highest-ranking employee. The Human Relations Committee of the Board of Trustees is composed of three independent Trustees and the Chairman of the Board who meet annually to assess the President's performance and compensation. The Human Relations Committee uses the services of an independent compensation consultant to provide demographic and comparative salary information for peer-group organizations, with focus on the President/CEO. The compensation consultant provides information from surveys, public disclosures of other charities, and proprietary sources. The Committee reviews this information, discusses the findings amongst themselves and not in the presence of the President of the organization. The Committee has a portion of its meeting where it does discuss compensation and performance with the President but the decision-making segments of the meeting are held in executive session. Minutes of the meeting are kept and retained by the Chair of the Human Relations Committee. The Human Relations Committee is aware of the compensation amounts for other key employees and senior management team members but the decisions governing their compensation are the purview of the President of the organization. Public Availability of Governing Documents Part VI, Section C, Line 18 EDF was formed in 1967 and a copy of Form 1023 is unavailable from this early period of time. Part VI, Section C, Line 19 EDF makes available three years worth of the following disclosure documents on our web site www.edf.org 1. Our Annual Report 2.
