Financial health
We do not score finances when yearly spending is very small or the return has too little detail. The ratios stop meaning much at that size.

Governance
This organization files the short tax form, which does not ask about boards, policies or audits. That is normal for a small charity and is not a mark against it.

Programs described in its return (1)
- $49,085 spent. WE PUBLISHED THREE ISSUES OF ENVIRONMENTAL ETHICS FOR BOTH PRINT AND ONLINE SUBSCRIBERS. REVENUE CAME FROM BOTH BACK ISSUES AND PREVIOUSLY PUBLISHED BOOKS. PUBLISHING A JOURNAL AND REPRINTING BOOKS ARE OUR MAIN NONPROFIT PURPOSES. NO CONFERENCE WAS HELD. WE HAD NO VISITING SCHOLARS. WE CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THE BIOCULTURAL CONSERVATION PROGRAM AT THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS (UNT). THE TRANSLATION OF EUGENE HARGROVE'S FOUNDATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL ETHICS WAS NOT COMPLETED AND WILL BE PUBLISHED IN THE FUTURE. CEP has not contributed any financial support to the publication and will not receive any profit from this publication. RICHARD ROZZI WAS INVOLVED IN THIS EDITORIAL PROJECT AND RECEIVED SOME RELEASE TIME FROM HIS PROGRAM AT UNT.
