| Explanation | NRDC ACTION FUND IS INCLUDED WITHIN THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF ITS PARENT, THE NATURAL RESOURCES DEFENSE COUNCIL, INC. THE BELOW FIN-48 FOOTNOTE IS REPRODUCED FROM THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. NRDC FOLLOWS GUIDANCE THAT CLARIFIES THE ACCOUNTING FOR UNCERTAINTY IN TAX POSITIONS TAKEN OR EXPECTED TO BE TAKEN IN A TAX RETURN, INCLUDING ISSUES RELATING TO FINANCIAL STATEMENT RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT. THIS GUIDANCE PROVIDES THAT THE TAX EFFECTS FROM AN UNCERTAIN TAX POSITION CAN ONLY BE RECOGNIZED IN THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS IF THE POSITION IS "MORE-LIKELY-THAN-NOT" TO BE SUSTAINED IF THE POSITION WERE TO BE CHALLENGED BY A TAXING AUTHORITY. THE ASSESSMENT OF THE TAX POSITION IS BASED SOLELY ON THE TECHNICAL MERITS OF THE POSITION, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE LIKELIHOOD THAT THE TAX POSITION MAY BE CHALLENGED. NRDC HAS PROCESSES PRESENTLY IN PLACE TO ENSURE THE MAINTENANCE OF ITS TAX-EXEMPT STATUS; TO IDENTIFY AND REPORT UNRELATED INCOME; DETERMINE ITS FILING AND TAX OBLIGATIONS IN JURISDICTIONS FOR WHICH IT HAS NEXUS; AND TO REVIEW OTHER MATTERS THAT MAY BE CONSIDERED UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS. NRDC DOES NOT BELIEVE ITS 2021 AND 2020 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS INCLUDE ANY MATERIAL UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS. | ExplanationTxt |

| Explanation | THE PROFESSIONAL FUNDRAISERS DISCLOSED ON NRDC ACTION FUND'S FORM 990 PROVIDE A SUITE OF CONSULTING AND FUNDRAISING SERVICES THAT ENHANCE THE ORGANIZATION'S ABILITY TO ADVANCE ITS OWN TAX-EXEMPT MISSION, AS WELL AS THAT OF THE NATURAL RESOURCES DEFENSE COUNCIL. NRDC ACTION FUND DOES NOT SPECIFICALLY TRACK THE FUNDRAISING DOLLARS EACH FUNDRAISER GENERATED AND SO DETERMINING AN ACCURATE ALLOCATION OF THESE RECEIPTS TO ALIGN WITH THE 990 REPORTING REQUIREMENTS IS DIFFICULT. NEVERTHELESS, THE NRDC ACTION FUND DOES ROUTINELY REVIEW ITS FUNDRAISING RELATIONSHIPS TO ENSURE THAT THE SERVICES IT RECEIVES PROVIDE A GOOD RATE OF RETURN TO THE ORGANIZATION ON ITS FUNDRAISING BUDGET. | ExplanationTxt |
