Below are select notes that CharityWatch believes may be of interest to donors.

According to the International Peace Institute audit of December 31, 2020 (Note 13, Related Party Transaction):

"The law firm in which a trustee of the Organization is a partner provided legal services for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019."

According to the International Peace Institute audit of December 31, 2020 (Note 9, Loan Payable – Paycheck Protection Program):

"In April 2020, the Organization received a loan totaling $686,255 under the Paycheck Protection Program administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration. The loan bears interest rate at 1% per annum, is due in April 2022, and may be forgiven if the Organization meets certain employee retention requirements and the funds are used for eligible expenses. The full amount of this loan was subsequently forgiven in May 2021."

According to the International Peace Institute audit of December 31, 2020 (Note 14, Risks and Uncertainties):

"In March 2020, the United States declared the global pandemic novel coronavirus COVID-19 outbreak a national emergency. As a result, the Organization has suspended some of its program activities at the direction of state and local governmental authorities. Management is continuing to evaluate the potential impact that the resulting economic uncertainties will have on the Organization's operations.

"In April 2020, the Organization secured a $686,255 Payroll Protection Program loan from the Federal Government, which was subsequently forgiven in May 2021 (Note 9 [cited separately, above]). In April 2021, the Organization secured a second Payroll Protection Program loan in the amount of $609,415."
