This guidance provides that the tax effects from an uncertain tax position can only be recognized in the 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. The Organization is exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(c)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code, though it would be subject to tax on income unrelated to its exempt purpose, should such revenues exist. The Organization has processes presently in place to ensure the maintenance of its tax-exempt status; to identify and report unrelated income and to identify and evaluate other matters that may be considered tax positions. The Organization has determined that there are no material uncertain tax positions that require recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. true AMERICAN CONCRETE PAVEMENT ASSOCIATION 9450 BRYN MAWR AVE STE 150 ROSEMONT IL 600185270 362548294 06 200000 POLICY IMPLEMENTATION BBT INC 901 NEW YORK AVE NW WASHINGTON DC 20001 862447747 04 200000 POLICY IMPLEMENTATION BIPARTISAN POLICY CENTER ACTION INC 1225 I ST NW STE 900 WASHINGTON DC 200055966 261299114 04 517884 POLICY DEVELOPMENT BLUEGREEN ALLIANCE INC 2701 UNIVERSITY AVE SE STE 209 MINNEAPOLIS MN 554143215 264086284 04 227685 POLICY DEVELOPMENT BLUEGREEN ALLIANCE INC 2701 UNIVERSITY AVE SE STE 209 MINNEAPOLIS MN 554143215 264086284 04 272315 POLICY IMPLEMENTATION CATF ACTION INC 114 STATE STREET 6TH FL BOSTON MA 021092421 842360880 04 1305000 POLICY IMPLEMENTATION CENTER FOR CLIMATE AND ENERGY SOLUTIONS INC 1400 K ST NW STE 1100 WASHINGTON DC 200052415 541892252 03 370000 POLICY IMPLEMENTATION CLEAN ENERGY BUSINESS NETWORK 805 15TH ST WASHINGTON DC 20005 821291947 06 200000 POLICY IMPLEMENTATION CLEAN ENERGY BUYERS ASSOCIATION 1425 K ST NW STE 1110 WASHINGTON DC 200054698 832935439 06 300000 POLICY DEVELOPMENT CLEAN ENERGY FOR AMERICA INC 611 PENNSYLVANIA AVE SE 482 WASHINGTON DC 200034303 863168346 04 100000 POLICY IMPLEMENTATION CLEAN ENERGY GRID ACTION 10 G ST NE WASHINGTON DC 20002 922336814 04 300000 POLICY DEVELOPMENT CLEARPATH ACTION FOR CONSERVATIVE CLEAN ENERGY INC 1355 GREENWOOD CLIFF RD CHARLOTTE NC 28204 811363692 04 1919480 POLICY DEVELOPMENT CLIMATE JOBS NATIONAL RESOURCE CENTER INC 350 WEST 31ST STREET 8TH FLOOR NEW YORK NY 100012797 843708923 03 2000000 POLICY DEVELOPMENT CLIMATE POWER 815 BLACK LIVES MATTER PLZ NW SUITE WASHINGTON DC 200060000 922307261 04 4000000 POLICY DEVELOPMENT CLIMATE POWER 815 BLACK LIVES MATTER PLZ NW SUITE WASHINGTON DC 200060000 922307261 04 250000 POLICY IMPLEMENTATION CONSERVATIVES FOR A CLEAN ENERGY FUTURE 106 ALLEGAN LANSING MI 48933 825201195 04 307000 POLICY DEVELOPMENT COUNTERSPARK INC 1801 PENNSYLVANIA AVE NW STE 410 WASHINGTON DC 200063618 800373809 04 400000 POLICY DEVELOPMENT ENERGY ACTION FUND 55 2ND STREET 24TH FLOOR SAN FRANCISCO CA 941053491 263390444 04 200000 POLICY DEVELOPMENT EVERGREEN ACTION PO BOX 21961 SEATTLE WA 981113961 861697158 04 250000 POLICY IMPLEMENTATION FUTURE FORWARD USA ACTION 611 PENNSYLVANIA AVE SE NUM 143 WASHINGTON DC 200034303 824170762 04 250000 POLICY DEVELOPMENT FUTURE FORWARD USA ACTION 611 PENNSYLVANIA AVE SE NUM 143 WASHINGTON DC 200034303 824170762 04 3000000 POLICY IMPLEMENTATION IN UNION USA ACTION 2010 MASSACHUSETTS AVENUE NW WASHINGTON DC 20036 851983868 04 250000 POLICY IMPLEMENTATION LEAGUE OF CONSERVATION VOTERS INC 740 15TH NW ST STE 700 WASHINGTON DC 200050000 521733698 04 250000 POLICY DEVELOPMENT LEAGUE OF CONSERVATION VOTERS INC 740 15TH NW ST STE 700 WASHINGTON DC 200050000 521733698 04 10500000 POLICY IMPLEMENTATION NRDC ACTION FUND INC 40 W 20TH ST NEW YORK NY 100114211 133976062 04 310500 POLICY DEVELOPMENT OHIO ENVIRONMENTAL COUNCIL ACTION FUND INC 556 E TOWN ST COLUMBUS OH 432154802 474903967 04 75000 POLICY DEVELOPMENT PEW CHARITABLE TRUSTS 901 E STREET NW WASHINGTON DC 200042037 562307147 03 250000 POLICY DEVELOPMENT RAINEY CENTER FREEDOM PROJECT 317 A ST SE WASHINGTON DC 20003 852354103 04 600000 POLICY IMPLEMENTATION SECURING AMERICAS FUTURE ENERGY FOUNDATION 1111 19TH ST NW STE 406 WASHINGTON DC 200363627 201727977 03 100000 POLICY DEVELOPMENT TEXAS GEOTHERMAL ENERGY ALLIANCE 9600 ESCARPMENT BLVD STE 745 274 AUSTIN TX 787491983 873104295 06 75000 POLICY DEVELOPMENT TEXAS TRANSMISSION PROJECT 502 6TH STREET HUDSON WI 54016 994953910 04 150000 POLICY DEVELOPMENT THE ADVANCED POWER ALLIANCE PO BOX 28112 AUSTIN TX 787558112 611429271 06 150000 POLICY DEVELOPMENT THIRD WAY 1025 CONNECTICUT AVE NW STE 400 WASHINGTON DC 200365423 201734070 04 200000 POLICY DEVELOPMENT 4 25 Schedule I, Part I, Line 2 Procedures for monitoring use of grant funds BREAKTHROUGH ENERGY ACTION MAINTAINS RECORDS INCLUDING GRANT PROPOSALS AND OTHER INFORMATION USED TO EVALUATE GRANTEES, GRANT AGREEMENTS, REPORTS FROM GRANTEES ON THEIR USE OF FUNDS AND PROJECT STATUS, AND FOLLOW-UP INFORMATION OBTAINED WHILE INVESTIGATING ANY AT-RISK GRANTS.
