Part V, Line 4:Endowment funds are used to support various activities and projects as designated by the Board of Directors and applicable laws and are subject to donor intent.
Part X, Line 2:RFF evaluates uncertainty in income tax positions based on a more-likely-than-not recognition standard. If that threshold is met, the tax position is then measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. As of September 30, 2024 and 2023, there are no accruals for uncertain tax positions. If applicable, RFF records interest and penalties as a component of income tax expense. Tax years from 2021 through the current year remain open for examination by tax authorities.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11bThe Form 990 is reviewed by the Vice President of People & Operations and the President & CEO, and made available to the entire board prior to the submission to the IRS.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12cAnnually, the board of directors is required to complete a conflict-of-interest disclosure form.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15RFF officer compensation will be set annually as follows: (a) the board decides the president's compensation, based on a recommendation from the executive committee; (b) the executive committee decides all other officers' compensation, based on a recommendation from the president. The intermediate sanctions rules require that all property transfers be at fair market value. Per IRS regulations, compensation is presumed a property transfer and is presumed to be at FMV if:(1) the compensation agreement or terms of the transfer are approved in advance, by an authorized body of the exempt organization, composed entirely of individuals without a conflict of interest; (2) the board or committee obtained and relied upon appropriate data as to comparability in making its determination; and (3) the board or committee adequately documented the basis for its determination, concurrently with making the decision. Referring the three criteria above in the RFF context: (1) salary agreements are approved in advance by the board or the executive committee and no interested parties are involved in setting them. (2) we subscribe to a number of surveys that look at nonprofit organizations and research organizations in Washington and nationwide. They provide good information and can be relied on to judge comparability. Periodically RFF will engage a compensation consultant to conduct an independent analysis. (3) we prepare minutes of all executive committee meetings which reflect salary decisions. Materials used by the committee to determine comparability goes into the personnel files for the individuals involved.
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19RFF makes its governing documents available to the public upon request. RFF's financial statements and tax returns are posted on other non-profit websites that collect and post non-profit information.
Form 990, Part XI, line 9:Unrealized loss on interest rate swap -191,495.
Form 990, Part XII, Line 2CThe organization has not changed any processes from the prior year.
