Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in
accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles; this includes the design, implementation, and
maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors' Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted
our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the

the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those
risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation

not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. Accordingly, we
express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and
the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
audit opinion.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2017 and 2016
Temporarily restricted net assets contain donor-imposed restrictions that permit the Fund to use or
expend the assets for particular purposes or in specific time periods. The restrictions are satisfied
either by the passage of time or by actions of the Fund.
Permanently restricted net assets contain donor-imposed restrictions that stipulate that the principal be
invested in perpetuity, but permit the Fund to use all or part of the income earned on these assets for
either specified or unspecified purposes. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Fund had no
permanently restricted net assets.
Revenues are reported as increases in unrestricted net assets unless limited by explicit donor-imposed
restrictions or by law. Expenses are reported as decreases in unrestricted net assets.
6 (Continued)
EVERYTOWN FOR GUN SAFETY ACTION FUND
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2017 and 2016
Contributions receivable are reported at estimated fair value at the date of the gift. Fair value of
contributions receivable is measured based on present value of future cash flows, with consideration of
expectations about possible variations in the amount and/or timing of the cash flows and other specific
factors that would be considered by market participants. The fair value measurements also include
consideration of donors' credit risk.
(e) Income Tax Status
The Fund is a Section 501(c)(4) tax-exempt organization under Section 501(a) of the Internal Revenue
Code (the Code). Accordingly, it is not subject to federal income tax. The Fund is also exempt from
state and local income taxes. Contributions to the Fund are not deductible by donors under Section 170
of the Code. Income generated from activities unrelated to the Fund's exempt purpose is subject to tax
under Internal Revenue Code Section 511. The Fund did not recognize any unrelated business income
tax for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016. The Fund recognizes the effect of income tax
positions only if those tax positions are more likely than not of being sustained.
(f) Fixed Assets
Fixed assets consist of website development costs, computer equipment, furniture, and leasehold
improvements. Such fixed assets are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation and
amortization. Website development costs, computer equipment, and furniture are depreciated and
amortized on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of three to seven years. Leasehold
improvements are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the life of the asset or lease term,
whichever is shorter.
(g) Grant Awards
Grant awards, including multiyear grants and unconditional promises to give which are discounted to
reflect the present value of future cash flows at a risk adjusted rate, are recognized as expenses in the
period made. Conditional grants made are recognized when the Fund deems the terms and conditions
of the grant agreements have been substantially met.
(h) Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Fund considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with original maturities of three months or
less to be cash equivalents.
(i) Fair Value Measurements
Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 820 , Fair Value Measurement, defines fair value as the
price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date and establishes a framework for measuring fair
value. Fair value measurements are applied based on the unit of account from the reporting entity's
perspective.
7 (Continued)
EVERYTOWN FOR GUN SAFETY ACTION FUND
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2017 and 2016
ASC Topic 820 establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for the disclosure of fair value
measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based on the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an
asset or liability as of the measurement date. The highest priority is given to unadjusted quoted market
prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 inputs) and the lowest priority is given
to measurements involving significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs). The three levels are
defined as follows:
Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted ) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for
identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - Observable inputs that are based on inputs not quoted in active markets , but corroborated by
market data.
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available.
A financial instrument's categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of
input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Fund had no assets or liabilities that
required disclosure in the fair value hierarchy at December 31, 2017 and 2016.
U) Reclassifications
There were reclassifications made to certain 2016 amounts to conform with the current year
presentation.
(2) Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Fund to concentration of credit risk consist of cash and
cash equivalents. The Fund places its cash and cash equivalents with high credit quality financial
institutions, however, the cash and cash equivalent balances exceed federally insured limits at
December 31, 2017 and 2016.

EVERYTOWN FOR GUN SAFETY ACTION FUND
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2017 and 2016
During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Fund received $20,000,000 of contributions and grants
revenue from one donor. During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Fund received $35,500,000 of'
contributions and grants revenue froni two donors. At December 31, 2017 and 2016, 75% and 92% of the
contributions receivable was from one donor, respectively.
(4) Fixed Assets
A summary of fixed assets at December 31, 2017 and 2016 is as follows:

(6) Lease
In 2014, the Fund entered into a lease agreement for office space in Washington, D.C., expiring in 2021.
On August 3,2017, the Fund signed the Amendment of Lease to increase the space and extend the lease
term through August 31, 2026. Future minimum rental payments are as follows:
2018 $ 296,875
2019 462,268
2020 483,261
2021 495,342
2022 507,726
2023-2026 1,973,744
Total $ 4,219,216
Rental expense is recognized on a straight-line basis , in accordance with ASC Topic 840 , Accounting for
Leases. The excess of recognized expense over actual rent payments as well as landlord-provided
improvements has been recorded as deferred rent credits, which is included in accounts payable and
accrued expenses in the accompanying statements of financial position. Rental expense under this lease
agreement was $311,812 and $288,080 in 2017 and 2016, respectively.
(7) Subsequent Events
The Fund evaluated events and transactions occurring subsequent to the statement of financial position ~~
date of December 31, 2017 and through September 26,2018, which is the date that the Fund's financial
statements were available to be issued, for purposes of disclosure and recognition in the financial
statements and determined no further disclosures are required.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2017 and 2016
Temporarily restricted net assets contain donor-imposed restrictions that permit the Fund to use or
expend the assets for particular purposes or in specific time periods. The restrictions are satisfied
either by the passage of time or by actions of the Fund.
Permanently restricted net assets contain donor-imposed restrictions that stipulate that the principal be
invested in perpetuity, but permit the Fund to use all or part of the income earned on these assets for
either specified or unspecified purposes. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Fund had no
permanently restricted net assets.
Revenues are reported as increases in unrestricted net assets unless limited by explicit donor-imposed
restrictions or by law. Expenses are reported as decreases in unrestricted net assets.

Contributions receivable are reported at estimated fair value at the date of the gift. Fair value of
contributions receivable is measured based on present value of future cash flows, with consideration of
expectations about possible variations in the amount and/or timing of the cash flows and other specific
factors that would be considered by market participants. The fair value measurements also include
consideration of donors' credit risk.
(e) Income Tax Status
The Fund is a Section 501(c)(4) tax-exempt organization under Section 501(a) of the Internal Revenue
Code (the Code). Accordingly, it is not subject to federal income tax. The Fund is also exempt from
state and local income taxes. Contributions to the Fund are not deductible by donors under Section 170
of the Code. Income generated from activities unrelated to the Fund's exempt purpose is subject to tax
under Internal Revenue Code Section 511. The Fund did not recognize any unrelated business income
tax for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016. The Fund recognizes the effect of income tax
positions only if those tax positions are more likely than not of being sustained.
(f) Fixed Assets
Fixed assets consist of website development costs, computer equipment, furniture, and leasehold
improvements. Such fixed assets are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation and
amortization. Website development costs, computer equipment, and furniture are depreciated and
amortized on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of three to seven years. Leasehold
improvements are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the life of the asset or lease term,
whichever is shorter.
(g) Grant Awards
Grant awards, including multiyear grants and unconditional promises to give which are discounted to
reflect the present value of future cash flows at a risk adjusted rate, are recognized as expenses in the
period made. Conditional grants made are recognized when the Fund deems the terms and conditions
of the grant agreements have been substantially met.
(h) Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Fund considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with original maturities of three months or
less to be cash equivalents.
(i) Fair Value Measurements
Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 820 , Fair Value Measurement, defines fair value as the
price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date and establishes a framework for measuring fair
value. Fair value measurements are applied based on the unit of account from the reporting entity's
perspective.

ASC Topic 820 establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for the disclosure of fair value
measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based on the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an
asset or liability as of the measurement date. The highest priority is given to unadjusted quoted market
prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 inputs) and the lowest priority is given
to measurements involving significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs). The three levels are
defined as follows:
Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for
identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - Observable inputs that are based on inputs not quoted in active markets , but corroborated by
market data.
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available.
A financial instrument's categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of
input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Fund had no assets or liabilities that
required disclosure in the fair value hierarchy at December 31, 2017 and 2016.
m Reclassifications
There were reclassifications made to certain 2016 amounts to conform with the current year
presentation.
(2) Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Fund to concentration of credit risk consist of cash and
cash equivalents. The Fund places its cash and cash equivalents with high credit quality financial
institutions; however, the cash and cash equivalent balances exceed federally insured limits at
December 31, 2017 and 2016.

Rental expense is recognized on a straight-line basis , in accordance with ASC Topic 840 , Accounting for
Leases. The excess of recognized expense over actual rent payments as well as landlord-provided
improvements has been recorded as deferred rent credits, which is included in accounts payable and
accrued expenses in the accompanying statements of financial position. Rental expense under this lease
agreement was $311,812 and $288,080 in 2017 and 2016, respectively.
(7) Subsequent Events

date of December 31, 2017 and through September 26, 2018, which is the date that the Fund's financial
statements were available to be issued, for purposes of disclosure and recognition in the financial
