It is management's belief that such tax positions are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. Accordingly, no liability for uncertain tax positions has been reflected in these financial statements. Returns for tax years beginning with those filed for the year ended June 30, 2007 are open to examination. 1 FUND FOR THE PUBLIC INTEREST INC 44 WINTER STREET BOSTON MA 02108 042762647 501(C)(4) 30920 PROGRAM SUPPORT Environment America inc 218 D Street SE Washington DC 20003 205355252 501(C)(4) 450000 PROGRAM SUPPORT Progressive Future inc 1536 WYNKOOP STREET 100 DENVER CO 80202 261525298 501(C)(4) 150000 PROGRAM SUPPORT 0 3 Procedure for Monitoring Grants in the U.S.: Part I, Line 2: Schedule I, Part I, Line 2: The organization conducts due diligence to be sure that the recipient's programmatic activities align with the goals of the organization.

Any officer, director, department head or other senior management with substantial influence over the Organization must disclose to the Organization any financial interest, direct or indirect, that he/she would gain from any transaction, contract, or policy the Organization is considering entering into or adopting. 2. In instances where any officer, director, or individual with substantial influence over the Organization would obtain a direct or indirect financial interest from a transaction or contract entered into with the Organization or from a policy adopted by the Organization, the following procedures shall apply: (a) A meeting (either in person or via telephone) of the Board of Directors of the Organization shall be convened; (b) The interested person will relate the nature of the proposed transaction, contract, or policy and shall disclose his/her financial interest to the Board, and then shall absent himself/herself from the meeting; (c) The Board shall undertake consideration and discussion of the proposed transaction, contract, or policy in the absence of the interested person; (d) The Board shall obtain data concerning alternatives to entering into said contract or transaction, or adopting said policy and compare the alternatives to the proposed transaction, contract or policy; (e) The Board shall vote to approve the proposed transaction, contract, or policy only after having arrived at a determination that such is fair in relation to the feasible alternatives and is in the best interests of the Organization; (f) Only a two-thirds (2/3) vote of the disinterested members of the Board shall be sufficient to approve such an interested transaction, contract, or policy. The interested person shall not be present for or participate in the vote; (g) Minutes shall be prepared and maintained concerning the Board's review, discussion, and vote regarding the proposed transaction, contract, or policy. 3.

The Board may vote, at any time, to appoint additional members to the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee will establish acceptable compensation packages after reviewing at least one of the following: (i) information about compensation paid by similarly situated tax-exempt Organizations for similar services; (ii) current compensation surveys compiled by independent firms; or (iii) actual written offers from similarly situated Organizations. The compensation range will be established in advance of paying compensation whenever possible, and in no event shall exceed $100,000 per year for a full-time employee position unless the full board of directors votes to approve such amount as reasonable. The Compensation Committee will document in writing the information on which it relies in deciding upon the terms of compensation arrangements.
