THIS YEAR, WE EXPERIENCED A DEEPER CONNECTION WITH THE ERP GAME RESERVE AND RHINOS THAT ROAM IT, WITH NO POACHING INCIDENTS REPORTED ON THE RESERVE. OUR ANTI-POACHING EFFORTS HAVE CREATED A HAVEN WHERE ANIMALS ROAM FREELY, REFLECTING THE PEACE THAT COMES FROM STRONG, SUSTAINABLE PROTECTION. ERP HAS SUCCESSFULLY RELOCATED 11 RHINOS FROM A RESERVE WHERE THE THREAT OF POACHING PUT THEIR SURVIVAL AT RISK. NOW, THEY ROAM FREELY IN A PROTECTED ENVIRONMENT, ADDING TO A GROWING POPULATION SAFEGUARDED BY ERPS CONSERVATION EFFORTS. RHINO NUMBERS UNDER ERPS PROTECTION HAVE STEADILY INCREASED, ENSURING A MORE SECURE FUTURE FOR THE SPECIES. THIS ACHIEVEMENT DIDNT COME WITHOUT HURDLES.

If requested by ERPs board of directors, a board meeting is scheduled with ERPs CPA during which the board can ask questions regarding the Form 990. Once the questions have been resolved to the boards satisfaction and the Form 990 approved, Form 990 is filed with the IRS.

The respondent shall also certify that s/he understands that ERP is charitable, that the organization must engage in activities that accomplish its exempt purposes and do not provide impermissible benefits to individuals or entities. In addition, the certification and disclosure form also requires each person to either: Certify that he or she has no actual or possible conflict of interest to report, or describe any relationships, transactions, or other circumstances, including those of family members, that could result in a conflict between the organizations interests and his or her personal financial or other interests. Each person is required to execute the certification and disclosure form, which will be retained in ERPs files.

General explanation attachment POVERTY ALLEVIATION OF RURAL COMMUNITY MEMBERS LIVING IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO ENDANGERED ELEPHANTS, RHINOS, AND OTHER WILDLIFE. THROUGH INDIVIDUAL AND COMMUNITY ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT AND EDUCATION, THE DANGER TO AT-RISK ELEPHANTS AND RHINOS IS SIGNIFICANTLY DIMINISHED, AS THIS GIVES POVERTY-STRICKEN COMMUNITIES ALTERNATIVES TO POACHING. One aspect of ERPs poverty alleviation program is ERPs community HUBs, which are modular structures that house computers, desks, and internet access. Connectivity provides access to educational tools, long distance learning, jobs, financial planning and health and family services. These improve the quality of life in various ways, including the ability to earn larger incomes. The Bikes4erp program in which bikes are distributed to students with the goal of increasing access to education. Students earn bicycles by entering into a Study to Own contract such that if they use the bicycle to get to school for two years, then it becomes theirs. In the short-term, bicycles reduce childrens exhaustion from walking to school which results in increased school attendance. In the long-term, bicycles will help students complete their education, preparing them for better jobs and increasing the likelihood of their success.
