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 and is recognized in the Organization's financial statements. As of December 31, 2024, 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 2021 through the current year remain open for examination by tax authorities. 0 Investors Circle Inc 19363 Willamette Drive Suite 323 West Linn OR 97068 993200566 227591 0 General Assistance American Grassfed Association 945 Birch Street Box 461090 Glendale CO 80246 680555069 501(c)(6) 9057 0 General Assistance Autocase 230 Park Avenue 3rd Floor West New York NY 10169 471989606 83690 0 General Assistance Greenexus 7322 Southwest Fwy 1106 Houston TX 77074 201465788 5390 0 General Assistance IC Foods 216 F Street Suite 139 Davis CA 95616 850956761 501(c)(3) 199462 0 General Assistance Lookinto 100 Shoreline Hwy Suite B100 Bill Valley CA 94941 460637309 53897 0 General Assistance Other Half Processing SBC 4717 27th Avenue South Minneapolis MN 55406 832291646 249239 0 General Assistance Pet Sustainability Coalition 1630 30th Street Suite 1 428 Boulder CO 80301 850559248 501(c)(3) 83768 0 General Assistance Public Health Institute 555 12th Street Suite 600 Oakland CA 946074046 941646278 501(c)(3) 45063 0 General Assistance Textile Exchange 1901 University Avenue Lubbock TX 79410 331034726 501(c)(3) 16620 0 General Assistance UC Davis 1200 Dutton Hall Davis CA 95616 946036494 501(c)(3) 463525 0 General Assistance 5 6 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 David Levine President 150000 0 0 0 0 0 7316 0 14498 0 171814 0 0 0 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11b A copy of the Form 990 is distributed to each officer prior to electronically filing with the Internal Revenue Service. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c Definition of Conflicts of Interest A conflict of interest will be deemed to exist whenever a director, officer or employee of the corporation is in the position to approve or influence corporation policies or actions which would or might financially benefit or harm: (a) the individual; (b) any member of the individual's immediate family (spouse, parents, children, brothers or sisters, and spouses or domestic partners of these individuals); or (c) any organization in which the individual or an immediate family member is a director, trustee, officer, member, partner or has or controls more than 10% ownership interest. Disclosure of Conflicts of Interest A director or officer shall disclose to the board any actual or potential conflict of interest as soon as possible after the director or officer learns of the conflict. If the matter is before a committee, the action or transaction in question shall be referred to the board and no further action on the matter shall be taken until the matter can be considered by the board. Approval of Contracts and Transactions Involving Potential Conflicts of Interest Following receipt of information concerning an action or transaction involving an actual or potential conflict of interest, the board shall consider the material facts concerning the proposed action or transaction. The board shall approve only those actions or transactions in which the terms are fair and reasonable to the corporation and the arrangements are consistent with the best interests of the corporation. The board shall set forth the basis for its decision with respect to approval of actions or transactions involving conflicts of interest in the minutes of the meeting at which the decision is made, including the basis for determining that the action or transaction is fair to the corporation. Validity of Actions Involving Conflicts No action or transaction of the corporation in which one or more of its directors, officers, or employees has an actual or potential conflict of interest shall be either void or voidable for this reason alone of by reason alone that such director(s) or officer(s) are present at the meeting of the board which authorizes the action or transaction, provided that the material facts as to such director or officer's interest in such action or transaction were disclosed to the board prior to the vote and the transaction was approved by a vote sufficient for such purpose without counting the vote or votes of any interested director. Interested directors may be counted in determining the presence of a quorum at a meeting of the board which authorizes such contract or transaction. At the time of the discussion and decision concerning the authorization of such contract or transaction, the interested director or officer should not be present at the meeting.

The board may, however, preside by resolution that actual and necessary expenses of attendance at any meeting of the board or any committee thereof may be reimbursed upon written request. Directors may also be paid reasonable compensation for services rendered to the corporation in another capacity, provided that such compensation is approved by the board.
