DescSince 2009, Civil Eats, an independent, nonprofit digital news site about the American food system, has focused on high-quality, original journalism which breaks news, educates leaders and policymakers, and serves as a resource for broader mainstream media. Civil Eats brings a clear and compelling voice to a complex range of issues. Our 15 years of reporting experience has shown that complicated and often underreported stories on climate, the environment, social justice, and on policy issues such as health and nutrition, are all made more accessible to a mainstream audience through our nuanced, solutions-oriented reporting. For the first four years, Civil Eats operated with no funding and as a labor of love. Today, Civil Eats has achieved significant impact and reach: It raised an unprecedented $100,000 via Kickstarter in 2013, was named Publication of the Year in 2014 by the prestigious James Beard Foundation, inducted into the Library of Congress in 2019, won the International Association of Culinary Professionals (IACP) Digital Media Award for Best Group Food Blog in 2020, won a 2022 IACP Award for best newsletter for our members-only monthly column, The Deep Dish, which also won an Online News Association award for best newsletter in 2024. Civil Eats has reported on some of the most important food and agriculture stories of our time. Unique in the media landscape, food justice has been central to its reporting since its inception. Civil Eats collaborates with high-profile print and online publications, and these partnerships bring Civil Eats important stories to millions of new readers, expanding the dialogue on economic and social justice. The site is on the regular reading lists of policymakers in D.C. and grassroots leaders alike, and its stories appear in daily news roundups, and are shared on social media by elected officials. In 2023, Civil Eats published 200 articles with more than 80 reporters and was nominated for and received numerous awards. In 2023, Civil Eats was awarded and/or named a finalist for more than a dozen awards and accolades. For the second year in a row, Civil Eats was named a Micro Newsroom Finalist by the Online News Association for the Online Journalism Awards, the global prizes that honor excellence in digital journalism. Civil Eats launched an investigations desk in 2022, and has won and been nominated for many awards for the stories reported on since then, including a 2023 James Beard Foundation Media Award for excellence in investigative reporting for the 2022 investigation series on animal agriculture workers, Injured and Invisible. In 2023, Civil Eats undertook a year-long investigative series on Walanthropy: Walmart and the Waltons Wield Unprecedented Influence Over Food, Policy, and the Planet. We took a detailed look at Walmart and its founding familys influence over the American food system, over the producers and policymakers who shape it, and how its would-be critics are also its bedfellows. The investigation was nominated for a 2024 James Beard award excellence in investigative reporting and received numerous other awards. One if its story, Black Farmers in Arkansas Still Seek Justice a Century After the Elaine Massacre, was selected for inclusion in Best American Food Writing 2023, guest edited by Mark Bittman.In 2023, Civil Eats also undertook a year-long transition reorganization, with key staff assuming new duties to allow for continued and sustained growth. The result was a new organization chart in 2024, with additional employees. In addition, new board members have been cultivated. In a fraught media landscape, Civil Eats has withstood the shocks faced by many larger and more deeply funded news oulets. It has stood the test of time, proving itself to be an extremely careful steward of its funding, and a groundbreaking thought-leader in this space.Desc

Form And Line ReferenceFootnote for uncertain tax position under FIN 48 (Part X)FormAndLineReferenceDesc
ExplanationCivil Eats is exempt from federal income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The accounting standard on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under that guidance, Civil Eats may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. Examples of taxpositions include the tax-exempt status of Civil Eats and various positions related to the potential sources of unrelated business taxable income (UBIT). The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. There were no unrecognized tax benefits identified or recorded as liabilities at year end.Civil Eats policy would be to recognize interest and penalties, if any, on tax positions related to its unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense in the financial statements. No interest and penalties were assessed or recorded during the year.ExplanationTxt
