Over the course of publishing more than 145 issues, the Journal has broken ground on covering critical environmental topics and received a number of media awards for excellence in journalism. In past fiscal year, the Journal published a mix of hard-hitting investigative features and reports from around the world in its print issues, including an in depth-cover feature about the young American evangelicals fighting for climate action from within the church, which is better known for right-leaning politics and climate denialism; an on-the-ground report about poaching in Lebanon, where, despite recent legislation making it illegal to kill migratory birds, somewhere between 1.7 and 3.5 million birds are illegally shot down with military grade weapons each year; a report about Rikers Islands attempt to transition from one of the nation's most notorious jail complexes into a place that embodies regeneration and growth; A look at anti-trans and anti climate policies in Florida and how the same ideologies of supremacy and colonialism underpin right-wing attacks on both body sovereignty and the environment. In addition to these features, the Organization also published a wide range of breaking news reports, commentary, essays, book and film reviews, podcasts, and news analysis. The Journals well-established track record of raising awareness about environmental and social justice issues and tackling controversial subjects has earned the Organization the reputation of being a small magazine with a big voice. 415463 0 0 New Leaders Initiative Earth Islands New Leaders Initiative celebrates and supports young environmental leaders in North America.

The Organization is also exempt from California franchise taxes under Section 23701(d) of the Revenue and Taxation Code and, therefore, has made no provision for Federal or California income taxes. Contributors, donors, and grantors may obtain tax benefits. In addition, the Organization has been determined by the Internal Revenue Service not to be a private foundation within the meaning of Section 509(a) of the Code. The Organization adopted the recognition requirements for uncertain income tax positions as required by generally accepted accounting principles, with no cumulative effect adjustment required. Income tax benefits are recognized for income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, only when it is determined that the income tax position will more-likely-than not be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Organization has analyzed tax positions taken for filing with the Internal Revenue Service and all state jurisdictions where it operates. The Organization believes that income tax filing positions will be sustained upon examination and does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material adverse affect on the Organizations financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Accordingly, the Organization has not recorded any reserves, or related accruals for interest and penalties for uncertain income tax positions at June 30, 2023. The Organization is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. true Central America 0 2 General Support 54195 East Asia and Pacific 0 12 General Support 577002 Europe 0 25 General Support 160001 Middle East 0 0 General Support 0 North America 0 7 General Support 6500 Russia 0 4 General Support 108437 South America 0 3 General Support 86120 South Asia 0 8 General Support 120920 Sub-Saharan Africa 0 16 General Support 862424 0 77 0 77 1975599 1975599 East Asia and Pacific General Support 411804 Transfer Europe General Support 19700 Transfer Middle East General Support 31351 Transfer Russia General Support 40753 Transfer South America General Support 80000 Transfer South Asia General Support 117500 Transfer Sub-Saharan Africa General Support 821040 Transfer 7 false false false false false false Pt I Line 2 Part I #2: While some of our granting internationally involves formal application procedures, formal award procedures, and/or formal reporting from recipient organizations regarding the results associated with the grant, not all does.

Pt VI, Line 12c We require our Board and Executive Director to update their declarations relative to conflict of interest annually or when their status changes, whichever comes first. If a conflict becomes evident in the operations of the Organization, our procedures provide for the Board President to act to assure that any potential conflict is recognized and minimized where possible. Pt VI, Line 15a Earth Island Institute Policy for Board Approval of Compensation The Executive Director of Earth Island Institute is the principal representative of Earth Island Institute, Inc., and the person responsible for the efficient operation of the organization. Therefore, it is the desire of Earth Island Institute to provide a fair yet reasonable and not excessive compensation for the Executive Director and other highly compensated employees and consultants. The annual process for determining compensation is as follows: Earth Island Institute's full board shall annually evaluate the Executive Director on his/her performance, and ask for his/her input on matters of performance and compensation. Board Approval. A Board Evaluation Committee will collect research and information in order to make a recommendation to the full board for the compensation (salary and benefits) of the Executive Director and other highly compensated employees or consultants based on a review of comparability data. For example, the Committee will secure data that documents compensation levels and benefits for similarly qualified individuals In comparable positions at similar organizations. This data may include the following: 1 Salary and benefit compensation studies by independent sources; 2 Written job offers for positions at similar organizations; 3 Documented telephone calls about similar positions at both nonprofit and for profit organizations;and 4 Information obtained from the IRS Form 990 filings of similar organizations. Concurrent Documentation. To approve the compensation for the Executive Director and other highly compensated employees and consultants the board must document how It reached its decisions, including the data on which It relied, in minutes of the meeting during which the compensation was approved. Documentation will include: a) A description of the compensation and benefits and the date it was approved; b) The members of the board who were present during the discussion about compensation and benefits, and the results of the vote; c) A description of the comparability data relied upon and how the data was obtained; and d) Any actions taken {such as abstaining from discussion and vote) with respect to consideration of the compensation by anyone who is otherwise a member of the board but who had a conflict of interest with respect to the decision on the compensation and benefits. Independence in Setting Compensation: The Chair of the board of directors, who is a volunteer and not compensated by the Earth Island Institute, will operate independently without undue influence from the Executive Director. No member of the Evaluation Committee will be a staff member, the relative of a staff member, or have any relationship with staff that could present a conflict of interest.
