Therefore, no provision is made for taxes on income. Tax-exempt organizations could be required to record an obligation for income taxes as the result of a tax position historically taken on various tax exposure items including unrelated business income or tax status. In accordance with GAAP, assets and liabilities are established for uncertain tax positions taken or positions expected to be taken in income tax returns when such positions are judged to not meet the "more-likely-than-not" threshold, based upon the technical merits of the position. Management has evaluated tax positions taken by the Alliance on their filed tax return and concluded that the Alliance has maintained its tax-exempt status, does not have any significant unrelated business income, and has taken no uncertain tax positions that require adjustment to or disclosure in the accompanying financial statements. 0 East Asia and the Pacific - Australia, Brunei, Burma, Cambodia, 0 27 Program Services Business Development/Certification in Region 1891806 Europe (Including Iceland & Greenland) - Albania, Andorra, Austria, Belgium 0 15 Program Services Business Development/Certification in Region 1179675 North America - Canada and Mexico, but not the United States 0 5 Program Services Business Development/Certification in Region 65856 South America - Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Columbia, Ecuador, 0 5 Program Services Business Development/Certification in Region 130947 South Asia - Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, 0 8 Program Services Business Development/Certification in Region 1219226 Sub-Saharan Africa - Angola, Benin, Botswana, Burkina Faso, 0 0 Program Services Business Development/Certification in Region Middle East and North Africa 0 2 Program Services Business Development/Certification in Region 37105 South Asia 0 0 Grants to Recipients Located in Region Grants for COVID Relief 5000 0 62 0 0 0 62 4529615 0 4529615 0 0 0 0 0 0 Part III Accounting Method: 1 Akshaya Patra Foundation 6800 Owensmouth Avenue Suite 230 Canoga Park CA 91303 010574950 501(c)(3) 6000 0 COVID Relief Efforts 3 1 Part I, Line 2: The Organization provided assistance to various organizations for COVID relief, a federally declared disaster. 1 X 0 0 0 Brian Perkins COO 215814 0 30000 0 0 0 3896 0 32448 0 282158 0 0 0 George W Chamberlain President 163374 0 25000 0 0 0 3231 0 29547 0 221152 0 0 0 Greg Brown SVP, Operations 165335 0 9000 0 0 0 3519 0 34667 0 212521 0 0 0 Steve Hart VP, Market Development 164286 0 9000 0 0 0 3450 0 29413 0 206149 0 0 0 William Clark CFO/Treasurer 160975 0 11500 0 0 0 3612 0 29130 0 205217 0 0 0 Wallace Stevens Executive Director/Board Chair 170000 0 30000 0 0 0 4000 0 0 0 204000 0 0 0 Chris Keller VP, Market Development 140850 0 7500 0 0 0 3140 0 28966 0 180456 0 0 0 Paul Keefe Sr. Programming Manager 154500 0 8000 0 0 0 3090 0 14021 0 179611 0 0 0 Keiko Pasterczyk Director of Certification Operations 145804 0 15000 0 0 0 2950 0 11372 0 175126 0 0 0 Form 990: During the year the Organization legally changed its name from Global Aquaculture Alliance to Global Seafood Alliance, Inc. Form 990, Part III, line 2 During 2021, Global Seafood Assurances, Inc. (GSA), a related organization formally ceased operations and transfered all of its assets and activities to Global Seafood Alliance, Inc. Global Seafood Assurnaces, Inc. was established to meet marketplace expectations for assurances across the board in aquaculture and fisheries. Those assurances will flow from third-party certification programs that have been benchmarked by a combination of the Global Sustainable Seafood Initiative (GSSI), Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) and Global Social Compliance Programme (GSCP) and will address integrated assurances for environmental responsibility, social responsibility, food safety and animal welfare. Global Seafood Alliance formally took over these initiatives during the year. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11b The Form 990 was prepared by an independent outside accountant with the staff accountant. It will be reviewed by key staff and officers after filing with the IRS. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c Global Aquaculture Alliance implemented a conflict of interest policy in 2016. All officers and directors were required to sign the policy when it was implemented. The organization reviews the policy annually to determine any necessary updates. Beginning in early 2018, all officers, directors, and other key personnel were required to review and sign an updated statement on an annual basis and document any potential coflicts of interest. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15 The Board reviews and approves compensation for the organization's officers annually, and documents the discussion in writing. Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19 The Organization makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available to the public upon request. Form 990, Part VII, Section A, Column D: The 2021 compensation reported for William Herzig was paid for his services as a contracted service provider to Global Seafood Alliance. Mr. Herzig was not compensated for serving as a Global Seafood Alliance Board member. Form 990, Part IX, line 11g Consultants 259,962. Contractors 1,772,110. Form 990, Part XI, line 9: Transfers to affiliate -250,000. Form 990, Part XII, Line 2c: The Organization engaged an independent, professional public accounting firm to perform a review of the Organization's books and records. The Organization's reviewed financial statements for the period ending December 2021 were finalized, signed, and published in March 2024. The review was subject to the oversight of the Organizatin's chief finance and accounting personnel, as well as the Board and any finance and audit committees thereof. Form 990, Explanation of Amended Return: The Organization engaged an independent, professional public accounting firm to perform a review of the Organization's books and records. The Organization's reviewed financial statements for the period ending December 2021 were finalized, signed, and published in March 2024, after the Organization had already filed its original 2021 Form 990. The Organization is therefore filing an amended 2021 Form 990 to adjust its previously filed tax return to be in coordination and agreement with these published financial statements. Aside from a restatement of the Organization's financial statements, the Organization believes all other transactions and disclosures are complete and in compliance with IRS Regulations.
