Research programs in 2023 covered the breadth of the field of environmental law and policy, from assessing state protections of nonfederal waters, to promoting good governance to support sustainable management of small-scale fisheries, to operating the Local Government Environmental Assistance Network and the International Network for Environmental Compliance and Enforcement. Other initiatives identified best practices for coastal management programs, provided model ordinances and other tools for reducing food waste, supported development of a protected area proposal for sperm whales, provided evidence-based judicial education on climate science and the law, and researched and analyzed the legal authorities to address plastic pollution, among other things. Our ongoing programs also continued to provide guidance, education, and recognition to environmental professionals nationwide such as through the Environmental Law and Policy Annual Review; training for states, territories, and tribes on the Total Maximum Daily Load and other Clean Water Act programs; our Indoor Air Quality program; our annual National Wetlands Awards program; and others. In addition, among its internationally focused initiatives, ELI analyzed customary water tenure in sub-Saharan Africa; supported the Women in Water Diplomacy Network; and continues to lead in the field of environmental peacebuilding, which integrates natural resource management into conflict prevention, mitigation, resolution, and recovery to build resilience in communities affected by conflict.

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 December 31, 2023, there are no accruals for uncertain tax positions. If applicable, the Organization records interest and penalties as a component of income tax expense. Tax years from 2020 through the current year remain open for examination by federal and state tax authorities. Part XI, Line 2d - Other Adjustments: Fundraising Expense 63,323.

ELI makes no grant or assistance payments to organizations or individuals outside the U.S. All payments to entities outside the U.S. are subcontractor payments for services such as expertise or logistical support to carry out ELI'S program activities. A contractor status report tracks all subcontractor agreements and related payments. The Environmental Law Institute selects local partners to carry out activities related to its overall mission. For 2023, local partners were selected to assist in holding meetings related to fisheries; wildlife and timber trafficking; climate change adaptation, finance, and resilience; environmental impact assessment; digital economy & the environment; workshops on environmental compliance and enforcement; expertise on local law; and printing and translation services for international programmatic publications. Local partners, typically NGOS, are selected based on their noted expertise in the field, often in conjunction with or at the direction of the funder. Each local partner is issued a subcontract agreement which outlines specific duties to be performed in the statement of work. The work is reviewed and approved by ELI'S project manager prior to payment. For out-of-pocket reimbursements for workshop expenses, receipts and documentation are collected.
