Desc	CAPACITY BUILDING: GFN's capacity building focused on essential technical support and catalytic investments to enable member food banks to expand service delivery, build resilience in their operations and the communities they serve, and improve effectiveness. GFN's unique approach in support of member capacity building to extend and scale service delivery enabled members to sustain a third year of heightened need of services. In FY 2023, GFN support included more than 26,000 hours in technical assistance and consultancy to expand the service delivery capabilities of food bank members. Technical assistance combined with GFN financial support and programmatic investments in FY 2023, included US$7,220,932 grants disbursed to support of member capacity building, emergency assistance, child hunger-school feeding support, and similar purposes. Review of the efficacy of GFN's financial support to members found that 96% of GFN's catalytic investment objectives were achieved over the grant period. In FY 2023, GFN established new programming activities based on successful pilot programs in food safety, public policy advocacy, knowledge sharing, and food recovery strategies. New pilot programs included expansion of independent, third-party certification of participating members in meeting or exceeding standards in food safety, food quality management, and process optimization to the highest international standard for commercial food-grade facilities. In FY 23, GFN was invited to participate in the UN Secretary General's Global Crisis Response Group to monitor and report on the impact of the costs of living crisis in vulnerable communities, those served by food banks. Throughout FY 2023, GFN provided real-time situation reports to the Global Crisis Group of conditions reported by members and the challenges facing the people they serve. In FY 2023, the Rockefeller Foundation notably awarded support through GFN to food banks in 10 high-risk, high-need countries to support GFN efforts to increase food access in response to the cost-of-living crisis and increased food recovery from across the supply chain, including the agricultural sector and ports. More than 648 million kilograms of food were distributed across the Network with GFN's focused efforts on improving the variety and nutritional quality of provided by food banks. In FY 2023, 60% of all food distributed was in the following least-processed product categories, with fruit & vegetable distribution accounting for 41% of the Network total. The amount of food provided was approximately 20 kilograms per person, or nearly 60 meals per individual, an increase of 18% compared to the previous year.	Desc

Desc	THOUGHT LEADERSHIP: GFN supports member food banks through research and evidence-based promotion of the food bank model in improving food security, humanitarian response, and food loss and waste (FLW) mitigation. SOCIAL RETURN ON INVESTMENT: In FY 2023, developed a Social Return on Investment (SROI) model to identify the linkage between food banks and improved food security and health outcomes measured from an economic basis and multiplier effects in social impact return. An international team of academics, economists, and social scientists from India, Mexico, South Africa, and the U.S. led the work. The project estimated an SROI, conservatively measured in economic benefit of improved health outcomes of between US$4.66 to US$6.76 for each $1 invested, with a high of US$10.59. PUBLIC POLICY-THE GLOBAL FOOD DONATION POLICY ATLAS: In FY 2023, GFN in partnership with Harvard Law School's Food Law and Policy Clinic (FLPC) completed the second round of legal and policy research of participating countries as part of The Global Food Donation Policy Atlas. The Atlas provides a first-of-its-kind look at the current state of food donation laws and policies in participating countries along with country-specific policy recommendations for strengthening food recovery efforts. The Atlas tool is accessible online for policymakers, food banks, and advocates to better understand the food donation policy landscape across countries, and country-by-country research of executive summaries, legal guides, and specific policy recommendations. In FY 2023, research on the legal frameworks and recommendation for nine additional countries were completed, bringing the global total to 26. In addition, GFN and the FLPC provided technical assistance and training to food banks in eight countries, engaging numerous stakeholders from government, legislators, and the private sector with training/research, and related activities to advance food donation policy goals. Since the Atlas project's inception in 2019, of the 26 countries engaged, 6 countries enacted a national food loss/waste (FLW) law or policy directly or influenced by the Atlas, five countries enacted a food donation liability protection policy, five countries implemented food safety for donation laws or guidance, and five countries passed food waste deterrence policies. FOOD LOSS AND WASTE MITIGATION AND CLIMATE: In FY 2023, GFN continued to advance food bank engagement in FLW mitigation, both through normative food recovery and redistribution activities of food banks, as well policy advocacy, exploration of financial instruments for FLW/climate impact measures from greenhouse gas reductions, and development of carbon and methane mitigation measures of food banks' food recovery activities with the Methane Hub Project. Owing to this work and the current role and potential impact of food banks to further reduce FLW and climate changes, in FY 2023 GFN attended COP 27 with evidence supporting investment in FLW reduction via food banking.

Desc	EXPANDING SERVICE DELIVERY IN HIGH NEED COMMUNITIES: In FY 2023, GFN further focused capacity development in 21 countries in emerging and developing market economies with high rates of food insecurity and hunger prevalence rates, persistent and high poverty, and limited social protections for vulnerable populations. In FY 2023, this cohort served 69% of all people reached and increased the rate of food distribution volume by 21%, four times the target for the year. FOOD BANK INCUBATOR PROGRAM: In FY 2023, participating members in GFN's Food Bank Incubator program entered the final year of accelerated programming for rapid food bank advancement in nations with higher rates of food insecurity, underserved communities, and with limited or no food bank presence prior to the program. FY 2020 -FY 2023 cohorts included South Asia/India (three members), Southeast Asia (seven members in six countries) and sub-Saharan Africa (six members/countries). In FY 2023, Incubator members exceeded many of the more established food banks in the amount of product distributed, increasing to more than 18.4 million kilos of food, a 32% growth over the previous year. NEW FOOD BANK DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM: FY 2023 represented the second year of GFN's New Food Bank Development program (NFBD), created for the identification, recruitment, and training of potential new food bank partners in high need communities where food banks do not exist or in the most nascent stage of development. NFBD prioritizes the recruitment of new food banks in communities with persistently high prevalence rates of hunger or food insecurity (15% or more) and where the food bank model does not exist or is nascent in development. GFN's NFBD programming includes research and identification of potential food banks or similar community-based human services partners. Organizational leaders participate in virtual/webinar introduction to the food bank model, leading to a food bank assessment and planning protocol, dissemination of food bank operations toolkits, one-to-one consultation with program experts, and GFN's own assessment of organizational potential through in-field and remote determinations. At the end of FY 2023, NFBD expanded GFN's membership from 44 countries at the outset of the fiscal year to partner food banking organizations in 53 countries.	Desc

Desc	KNOWLEDGE SHARING: Central to GFN's programmatic model is education, knowledge sharing, and training made available across borders, cultures, contexts to aid food bank development for increased service delivery, greater programming and operational effectiveness and improved efficiency. Knowledge exchange, education and training is a core element of GFN programming through the development of materials, tool kits, webinars, and affinity groups of food banks and personnel (such as food sourcing, warehouse operations, or development.) In FY 2023, with travel resuming in much of the world, GFN was able to move beyond remote, digital knowledge sharing and knowledge networks, to more intensive and in-person engagement, such as food bank fellowship exchanges, field review and training, and most notably GFN's premier annual convening, the Food Bank Leadership Institute. FBLI Since 2006, GFN's Food Bank Leadership Institute (FBLI) has an important element in education and training activity, becoming the world's foremost gathering of food banks and community-based food assistance leaders. In FY 2023, GFN was able to return to the in-person convening of food bank leaders from across the world along with other stakeholders from business, government, foundations, and academia for the first time in three years. FBLI 2023 was held in Mexico City, co-hosted by GFN founding member BAMX, attended by more than 300 people from 42 countries.	Desc

Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 FIN 48 (ASC 740) footnote	GFN has received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service indicating that it is a not-for-profit entity as described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") and is exempt from federal income taxes on related income pursuant to Section 501(a) of the IRC, except for taxes pertaining to unrelated business income. GFN follows guidance with respect to accounting for uncertain tax positions. No provision has been made for income taxes in the accompanying financial statements, as GFN has had no unrelated business income. Management believes GFN has no material unrecognized income tax matters, including any potential loss of its tax-exempt status. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been made in the financial statements. There were no income tax related interest or penalties recognized by GFN for the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. GFN has not been examined by any tax jurisdiction. GFN has not yet been subject to examination by taxing authorities for the last three years. GFN recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest and income tax expense, respectively. GFN recognized and accrued no amounts for interest and penalties as of and for the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. GFN does not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to significantly change in the next 12 months.

Schedule F, Part I, Line 2 Procedures for monitoring use of grant funds	The Global FoodBanking Network (GFN) makes grants to individual food banks or national food bank networks for a variety of purposes. Most grants are aimed at helping the grantee expand operational or programmatic capacity/reach, and accordingly are awarded for the purchase of vehicles or equipment, hiring of staff, staff training, technology acquisition and implementation, or acquisition or improvement of warehouse facilities. Grantees are selected based on a combination of factors, including: * specific needs identified by the potential grantee, * food insecurity and malnutrition levels in the grantee's country, * GFN's ability to raise the resources needed to fund those needs, * the conduct of business and legal due diligence to qualify the potential grantee in accordance with GFN, US legal, and donor criteria, and * the willingness of the grantee to execute a grant agreement that stipulates, among other things, the purpose of the grant, the restricted use(s) of the grant, and reporting requirements to facilitate monitoring. Before a grant is offered to a grantee, GFN conducts legal due diligence on the grantee, assuring that it is a legally established, charitable organization, in-good-standing in its country and has legal authority to enter into a binding grant agreement. GFN then negotiates a grant agreement with the grantee that addresses all relevant programmatic and legal requirements related to the grant. Finally, GFN screens the grantee, its governing board, its management, and key staff with authority to disburse grant funds, and the financial institution where the funds will be held against several Terrorist Watch Lists. Only after the agreement is signed and the screening process is positively completed will GFN transfer the funds to the grantee. The Grant Agreement is a legally binding contract, and it stipulates the timeline and content for periodic reports by the grantee to GFN on the use of the grant funds and their impact. A standard financial report template is incorporated in the grant agreement, and the content of narrative reports is also defined. Grant funds are typically required to be held in separate accounts established solely for these funds in order to facilitate auditing, if it should be necessary. If it is not possible to establish a separate account solely for grant funds, grantees are required to flag all transactions made with the grant funds with a unique identifier within their existing accounting system to facilitate auditing. Quarterly conference calls are held with all grantees to monitor project progress. Report due dates are tracked and follow-up on delinquent or missing reports is conducted as needed. Depending on the size and scope of the grant, as well as on certain donor requirements, GFN may visit the grantee to conduct relevant oversight activities.

Form 990, Part I, Line 1 BRIEF MISSION	loss and waste, cutting greenhouse gas emissions, and strengthening communities. In 2022, GFN through its network provided food to over 32 million people, while avoiding 1.5 billion kilograms of CO2e (the United States Environmental Protection Agency defines CO2e, or carbon dioxide equivalent, as the number of metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions with the same global warming potential as one metric ton of another greenhouse gas.) GFN's network distributed over 651 million kilograms of food, of which nearly two-thirds was donated from local sources. Nearly 60% of food that GFN's network provided was from healthy sources, helping provide nutrition to women, children, and other vulnerable populations. GFN works in 50 countries, mainly developing and emerging economies, and is connected to a network of over 51,000 local organizations and powered by over 405K volunteers worldwide.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4d Description of other program services	(Expenses $ 677,787 including grants of $ 0)(Revenue $ 0) KNOWLEDGE SHARING: Central to GFN's programmatic model is education, knowledge sharing, and training made available across borders, cultures, contexts to aid food bank development for increased service delivery, greater programming and operational effectiveness and improved efficiency. Knowledge exchange, education and training is a core element of GFN programming through the development of materials, tool kits, webinars, and affinity groups of food banks and personnel (such as food sourcing, warehouse operations, or development.) In FY 2023, with travel resuming in much of the world, GFN was able to move beyond remote, digital knowledge sharing and knowledge networks, to more intensive and in-person engagement, such as food bank fellowship exchanges, field review and training, and most notably GFN's premier annual convening, the Food Bank Leadership Institute. FBLI Since 2006, GFN's Food Bank Leadership Institute (FBLI) has an important element in education and training activity, becoming the world's foremost gathering of food banks and community-based food assistance leaders. In FY 2023, GFN was able to return to the in-person convening of food bank leaders from across the world along with other stakeholders from business, government, foundations, and academia for the first time in three years. FBLI 2023 was held in Mexico City, co-hosted by GFN founding member BAMX, attended by more than 300 people from 42 countries.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 1a Delegate broad authority to a committee	Pursuant to the Corporation's Bylaws, its Board of Directors (BOD), which is its governing body, by duly adopted resolution, established a five-director Steering Committee consisting of those directors who are from time to time the Chairperson of the BOD, the Vice Chairperson of the BOD, and the chairpersons of each of the standing committees created by the Bylaws (the Governance, Audit and Finance Committees) together with the President/Chief Executive Officer (ex-officio and non-voting); provided that the existence of an unfilled vacancy shall not preclude the Steering Committee from acting at a meeting of the Steering Committee or by informal action. Under the Corporation's Bylaws, the Steering Committee shall have and exercise the authority of the BOD in the management of the Corporation (including, without limitation, the authority to deal with all matters involving conflicts of interest under Article XV of the Bylaws) between regular meetings of the BOD except with respect to acts and matters expressly reserved to the BOD itself by Section 108.40 of the Illinois General Not for Profit Corporation Act or any provision of the Bylaws and except with respect to any functions or authority specifically delegated to another committee by resolution of the BODs adopted by a majority of the directors in office. The Steering Committee shall have such further responsibilities as the Board of Directors may assign to it from time to time.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 4 Significant changes to organizational documents	The organization's BYLAWS WERE amended in December 2022 to change the qualifications of a quorum of its committees. As provided in these amended bylaws, fifty percent (50%) of the members of such committee then in office shall constitute a quorum and the act of a majority of the members present at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of such committee.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b Review of form 990 by governing body	A draft of this Form 990 was initially prepared by the Finance and Administration, Senior Director. The draft was then reviewed by the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and the corporations outside tax preparation firm, which in consultation with the CFO made such revisions to the draft as it considered appropriate. The draft resulting from that review was circulated to the Corporation's Executive team, the Corporation's General Counsel, and the Audit Committee. Their comments were then considered by the CFO and reflected in a revised draft as the CFO, in consultation with the Corporation's outside tax preparation firm, considered appropriate. A draft resulting from this process was then discussed by the Audit Committee at a meeting held on October 12, 2023 also attended by the CFO, Finance and Administration Senior Director, representatives from the Corporation's outside tax preparation firm and legal counsel. The Audit Committee approved that draft for submission to the BOD. The draft was provided to all the members of the BOD in advance of, and approved for filing at, a meeting of the BOD held on October 24, 2023.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 12c Conflict of interest policy	The conflict of interest policy is distributed annually to the Corporation's directors, key employees and any corporate officers who are not key employees. They are required to disclose actual or potential conflicts of interest, and asked to sign an annual declaration and agree to bring to the BOD's attention any future situation not disclosed in the declaration. All BOD prospective candidates are required to complete a declaration prior to the BOD vote. The BOD or the Steering Committee has the power to consider potential conflict situations as they become aware of them and determine whether a conflict of interest exists. If the BOD has reasonable cause to believe a known or possible conflict of interest was not disclosed and after affording the person an opportunity to explain the alleged failure, is required to take appropriate disciplinary and corrective action.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 15a Process to establish compensation of top management official	In August 2022, an external consulting firm hired at the direction of the Steering Committee, conducted a market study which compared GFN's CEO's compensation to other CEOs within nonprofit organizations comparable to GFN in terms of size (revenues and FTEs) and/or industry. Data was sourced from published survey sources and the most recently filed IRS Forms 990 of identified peer organizations. The CEO's salary is determined based on this data and GFN's executive compensation philosophy. The BOD meets in executive session and reviews the CEO salary recommended by the Steering Committee.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 15b Process to establish compensation of other employees	The process to establish compensation for the organization's CFO, VP Programs, VP Development, and VP Communications is the same process used to establish compensation for the CEO as described in the narrative to Form 990, Part VI, Line 15a
