The projects we fund follow a particular proven method (the "EAGLE model"), generally consisting of the following elements: Investigations, including selecting, hiring and training undercover investigators to successfully identify and infiltrate large-scale, illegal wildlife trafficking operations in order to develop concrete evidence that can be used to bring them to justice in accordance with national and international laws in force; Operations, including providing assistance to national law enforcement in bringing about arrests and supervising law enforcement operation in the field to guard against corruptions, such as bribery and peddling; Legal assistance, including helping government lawyers bring about the prosecution of wildlife offenses and monitoring the legal process at every step (arraignment, trial, sentencing, and incarceration) in order to intercept and combat corruption attempts, and Media, including preparing and distributing press releases and encouraging in-country TV news, radio news and the written press to publicize the operational and legal successes, thereby educating the public on the illegality of wildlife poaching and trafficking, demonstrating that the laws are actively enforced, and amplifying the deterrent effect of the legal successes. In 2022, we awarded grants to a number of organizations that operate projects that follow the EAGLE model. Collectively, the organizations operating funded projects, and the overall program itself, is called the EAGLE Network. Before making any grants, EAGLE-US's board of directors conducts a pre-grant inquiry to ensure that the proposed grantee will use the grant funds in a manner that exclusively furthers our charitable and educational purposes. These inquiries focus on the identity, prior programmatic history, and experience of the potential grantee and its managers. We only make a grant to an organization when we are satisfied that the grantee intends to use and is capable of using the funds in the manner required, in close adherence to the procedures and policies we establish, and that sufficient political stability exists within the country for the funded project to be successful. EAGLE-US receives and maintains reports from each grantee at least annually on the use of grant funds, the grantee's compliance with the terms of the written grant statement, and the progress made by the grantee toward achieving the purpose for which each grant is made. Schedule F, Part III There are no compensated EAGLE US employees domestically or overseas. The board members are not paid. The organization makes grants to entities in Africa and these entities pay their employees/contractors through the grants. There are approximately 10 individuals who receive salaries through their grants.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c EAGLE's conflict of interest policy is found in Article IX of its bylaws, which were adopted by the board of directors by unanimous written consent. The conflict of interest policy is consistent with the sample policy found in Appendix A of the Form 1023 application instructions. The policy is reviewed annually by each board member and each completes and signs a new form each year. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15 Ofir Drori is compensated by an unrelated organization. Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19 The governing documents, conflict of interest policy and financial statements are made available upon request. Form 990, Part X, Line 1 EAGLE INC will be filing an amended return for 2021 to correct end of year assets from $79,961 to $85,731. Completion of the 990 was hindered by the difficulty in reaching officers due to work schedule and the remote nature of their working environments.
