Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

Activities include consumer advertising, public relations, point-of-sale demonstrations, participation in trade fairs and exhibits, and others.

  • Foreign Market Development (FMD):CCI uses Foreign Market Development (FMD) Program funding to create, expandand maintainlong-term export markets for U.S. cotton. FMD-funded projects generally address long-term opportunities to reduce foreign import constraints or expand export growth opportunities.

  • Agricultural Trade Promotion Program (ATP):CCI uses Agricultural Trade Promotion Program (ATP) funding for overseas marketing and promotional activities that help build commercial export markets for U.S. cotton and cotton products. Activities include consumer advertising, public relations, point-of-sale demonstrations, participation in trade fairs and exhibits, and others.

  • Emerging Market Program (EMP):CCI conducts targeted technical assistance to promote the export of U.S. cotton via presentations that feature the technical, economic, performance and marketing advantages of U.S. cotton and to address import commercial issues fueling the world cotton textile trade.

  • Regional Agricultural Promotion Program (RAPP): CCI uses Regional Agricultural Promotion Program (RAPP) - Tranche I & II funding to diversify and expand market opportunities for U.S. food and agricultural products beyond the traditional top customers. Focus is on enhancing U.S. exports to new markets in parts of the world including South and Southeast Asia, Latin America, the Middle East and Africa, and others where the middle class is growing and the desire for high-quality food and farm products is increasing.

The first 25 listed. Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Grants received

No itemized grant names this organization as a recipient. Only grants over $5,000 are itemized, and only by filers of the full Form 990.

Related organizations

From Schedule R Part II, where a filer lists the tax-exempt organizations it is related to by control. It does not record shared board members or money.

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Not present in the most recent drop.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
