Explanation	EDF engages in limited amounts of lobbying activities to further its mission to preserve the natural systems on which all life depends. In FY2015, EDF spent a total of $1,239,636, which comprises 0.91% of its total expenditures, on influencing legislation. Consistent with its tax-exempt purpose, EDF's lobbying activities were focused on the protection of the environment and human health. EDF's lobbying efforts included advocating for the Toxic Chemicals Safety Act and defending the Magnuson-Stevens Act, among others. Much of the state-level lobbying work was directed to California, where EDF continued to advocate for clean air and clean fuels legislation and policy. EDF also participated in events with California officials to further the conversation on clean fuels policy, which accounts for other lobbying activities listed in Part II-B. In addition to other programs and staff at EDF, Moms Clean Air Force (MCAF), a special project of EDF, is active in advocating for clean air and the health of children through direct contact with legislators and officials as well as grassroots organizing. MCAF mobilizes and harnesses the strength of mothers to take action and organizes nonpartisan rallies held in state capitals throughout the US, where attendees gather to show support for children's health. During FY2015, MCAF focused on advancing legislation relating to climate change, clean air, clean energy, natural gas, energy efficiency in various states throughout the U.S. as well as supporting lobbying efforts on the Toxic Chemicals Safety Act and the Clean Power Plan. EDF's largest lobbying expenditure during FY15 is a $700,000 grant provided to Environmental Defense Action Fund (EDAF), the political action partner and affiliated 501(c)(4) organization of EDF. The purpose of this grant was to support the educational and lobbying activities of EDAF in furtherance of its mission, consistent with the shared program objectives of EDF and EDAF. EDAF is prohibited from using any of these grant funds for political campaign activities.	ExplanationTxt

Part V, Line 4:

The Organization's endowment consists of nineteen individual funds established for a variety of purposes and consists entirely of donor-restricted funds. The Organization has adopted investment and spending policies for endowment assets that attempt to provide a predictable stream of funding for programs supported by its endowment while seeking to maintain the purchasing power of the endowment assets. Under this policy, as approved by the Board of Trustees, the endowment assets are invested with a focus on earning market returns or better while assuming a moderate level of investment risk.

Part X, Line 2:

The Organization is subject to the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board's (the "FASB") Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 740, Income Taxes, relating to accounting and reporting for uncertainty in income taxes. For the Organization, these provisions could be applicable to the incurrence of unrelated business income tax attributable to certain of the Organization's investments. However, due to the Organization's general tax-exempt status, management believes ASC Topic 740 has not had, and is not expected to have, a material impact on the Organization's consolidated and consolidating financial statements.

Form And Line ReferenceFormAndLineReferenceDesc	ExplanationExplanationTxt
Form 990, Part 111, Line 4a	1.Climate and Energy - To avert disastrous climate change, EDF focuses on the largest and best opportunities to reduce emissions of climate pollutants such as carbon dioxide and methane. In China, EDF advised the government on seven emissions trading pilot programs covering more than a billion tons of carbon dioxide emissions. In the United States, EDF and its allies advocated and defended strong measures in EPA's proposed Clean Power Plan to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from existing power plants, the largest U.S. source. EDF also worked in nine states, including California, Illinois and New York, to reduce emissions by improving energy efficiency and use of renewable energy. These programs in China and the United States helped inspire the two countries' commitments at the climate change conference in Paris, which in turn spurred other commitments and helped usher in a new global climate agreement. EDF also led efforts to reduce emissions of methane, which accounts for one quarter of the global warming experienced today. EDF worked with nearly 100 academic researchers and companies to collect data on methane emissions from natural gas facilities and successfully advocated federal rules that represent a first step in cutting those emissions.
Form 990, Part 111, Line 4b	2. Oceans - To improve the health of the oceans and increase future supplies of seafood, EDF aims to sharply reduce overfishing and achieve a dramatic recovery in fish populations. EDF advocates secure fishing rights, called "catch shares" in the United States, to give fishermen a financial stake in conserving fish for the future. New research by EDF and partners at the University of California at Santa Barbara and the University of Washington, presented at the 2015 World Ocean Summit in Lisbon, shows that sustainable fishing could more than double the number of fish in the water by 2050, in most places, when compared to current trends. EDF's growing list of successes demonstrates what's possible with the right set of policies and incentives. In 2015, the National Marine Fisheries Service declared that overfishing in U.S. waters is steadily declining, in part due to catch shares. Our fishing rights programs are also beginning to take hold in Mexico's Gulf of California, and the government of Belize has asked EDF to help roll out a fishing-rights system nationwide. We're now focusing on a dozen governments that account for more than three-fifths of the global catch, including the European Union, where we helped reform the common fisheries policy, committing Europe to end overfishing by 2020.
Form 990, Part 111, Line 4c	3. Ecosystems- EDF develops ways to meet people's needs for food, water and other natural resources while improving ecosystems, rather than harming them. EDF worked with agribusiness and food companies including United Suppliers, Campbell's Soup and General Mills and Smithfield on fertilizer efficiency plans that will help reduce serious fertilizer pollution of air and water; together, a range of companies have committed to adopt best practices on 23 million acres by 2020. EDF also worked with ranchers and others to improve habitat for the greater sage grouse by using habitat exchanges. In such an exchange, a company that degrades habitat is required to fund the creation of enough better-quality terrain to more than compensate for the damage it causes. By mid-2015, EDF and its partners won enough habitat restoration commitments from landowners to persuade the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service that the sage grouse's future can be secured without having to resort to an Endangered Species Act listing. EDF also helped lead science and policy efforts to restore coastal wetlands in Louisiana, an area harmed by the BP Deepwater Horizon oil disaster.
Form 990, Part 111, Line 4d	4. Health- EDF works to improve human health by reducing exposure to harmful chemicals and pollution. A big breakthrough took place in December 2015, when the U.S. Senate passed a bipartisan bill to ensure the safety of chemicals in consumer products-the first such reform in 40 years. The legislation would establish strong, health-based standards against which all chemicals would be assessed. Manufacturers already have reformulated many products in response to EDF's work with Walmart to replace chemicals of concern with safer substitutes, and Walmart is publishing all the ingredients of its private-label products. EDF also works to help ensure that low-income communities and communities of color near America's ports, truck routes and industrial facilities are not disproportionately exposed to dangerous air pollution. Thanks in part to EDF's advocacy, U.S. EPA in 2015 announced stronger rules for regulating toxic air emissions from refineries. Then, after a lawsuit filed by EDF and others, EPA tightened the national air quality standard for ozone, the main cause of smog. EPA also expanded a program at the port of Houston that EDF helped develop to enable the port's truckers to replace older, polluting trucks with new models. Threats to the environment are urgent, but they can be solved. EDF's more than 500 scientists, economists, lawyers and policy experts work with others to find practical solutions. EDF and its partners have developed a set of policy tools that have delivered extraordinary results and can now be brought to scale. There is every reason to be hopeful, since more people are joining in efforts to create environmental solutions, and 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 edf.org/ar2015
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11	Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11A - 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.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c	Part VI, Section B, Line 12a, b and c 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.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15	Determination of Compensation of the President 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.
