ExplanationFARM JOURNAL FOUNDATION (FOUNDATION) IS DEDICATED TO SUSTAINING AGRICULTURE'S ABILITY TO MEET THE VITAL NEEDS OF A GROWING POPULATION THROUGH EDUCATION AND ADVOCACY. FOUNDATION QUALIFIES AS PUBLICLY SUPPORTED BECAUSE IT MEETS THE 10 PERCENT FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES TEST UNDER TREASURY REGULATION 1.170A-9(F)(3)(I)-(III, AND SUBSETS (A)-(E)) IN THE FOLLOWING RESPECTS: I. 10 PERCENT OF SUPPORT LIMITATION: FOUNDATION'S PUBLIC SUPPORT FRACTION IS 23.27, ABOVE THE 10 PERCENT THRESHOLD. II. ATTRACTION OF PUBLIC SUPPORT: FOUNDATION IS ORGANIZED AND OPERATED TO ATTRACT NEW AND ADDITIONAL SUPPORT ON A CONTINUOUS BASIS. THE ORGANIZATION CONNECTS FARMERS AND RANCHERS, INDUSTRY, ACADEMIA, GOVERNMENT, CONSUMERS, AND NGO PARTNERSHIPS AROUND THE WORLD TO: - ADVOCATE FOR A POLICY ENVIRONMENT THAT PRIORITIZES GLOBAL FOOD SECURITY ISSUES AND EMPOWERS FARMERS AND RANCHERS TO MEET THE CHALLENGE; - ELEVATE THE NEXT GENERATION AND CONSUMER UNDERSTANDING OF THE CONNECTION BETWEEN EXPANDING GLOBAL NUTRITIONAL NEEDS AND ADVANCING AGRICULTURE'S CAPACITY TO MEET THOSE NEEDS; AND - ADVANCE SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENT AND PROVEN FOOD SECURITY SOLUTIONS. AND AS A RESULT OF THESE EFFORTS, THE FOUNDATION IS GAINING SUPPORT FROM THE GENERAL PUBLIC. THE FOUNDATION UNDERSTANDS THE NEED FOR SUPPORT FROM INDIVIDUALS, PUBLIC CHARITIES AND THE GOVERNMENT IN ORDER TO RAISE ITS PUBLIC SUPPORT PERCENTAGE AND IT IS STRUCTURING ITS DEVELOPMENT EFFORTS TOWARD THESE DONORS. III(A/B). PERCENTAGE AND SOURCES OF SUPPORT: FOUNDATION IS SUPPORTED BY A DIVERSE AND REPRESENTATIVE GROUP OF DONORS. EARLY IN ITS EXISTENCE, THE FOUNDATION RECEIVED ITS MOST GENEROUS SUPPORT FROM A FEW CORPORATIONS AND A FEW OF THE WORLD'S GREATEST PHILANTHROPIC PRIVATE FOUNDATIONS; HOWEVER, DURING 2020, THE FOUNDATION RECEIVED GRANTS AND CONTRIBUTIONS FROM 29 DONORS, INCLUDING INDIVIDUALS, PUBLIC CHARITIES, PRIVATE FOUNDATIONS, CORPORATIONS, AND THE AMAZON SMILE PROGRAM. OF THESE 29 DONORS, 76 PERCENT WERE INDIVIDUALS MAKING GIFTS OF $1,000 OR LESS. THE TAKE-AWAY HERE IS THAT FOUNDATION'S PROGRAMS AND ACTIVITIES HAVE BROAD APPEAL TO MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC - CLEARLY SOCIETIES ALL OVER THE WORLD WISH TO ALLEVIATE THE PROBLEM OF FOOD INSECURITY AND INADEQUATE NUTRITION. III(C). REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNING BODY: FOUNDATION IS GOVERNED BY A FIVE-MEMBER BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND ALL SUCH DIRECTORS ARE INDEPENDENT. THE BOARD MEMBERS INCLUDE COMMUNITY LEADERS, CIVIC LEADERS, INDUSTRY SPECIALISTS, AND PHILANTHROPISTS WHO BRING TO THE FOUNDATION'S BOARD A CROSS-SECTION OF THE VIEWS AND INTERESTS OF THE PROBLEM THE FOUNDATION IS TACKLING - WORLD HUNGER. III(D). AVAILABILITY OF PUBLIC FACILITIES OR SERVICES; PUBLIC PARTICIPATION IN PROGRAMS OR POLICIES: FOUNDATION CONDUCTS EXTENSIVE AND ON-GOING PROGRAMS AND ACTIVITIES THAT ARE DESIGNED TO INFORM THE PUBLIC, THE MEDIA AND POLICYMAKERS ABOUT THE SUBJECTS OF GLOBAL FOOD SECURITY, NUTRITION, AND INTERNATIONAL AGRICULTURE DEVELOPMENT SOLUTIONS. THE FOUNDATION'S PROGRAM, FARMERS FEEDING THE WORLD, IS A PLATFORM FOR ENGAGING INDIVIDUAL FARMERS AND FARMER ORGANIZATIONS IN THE PHILANTHROPIC AND PROGRAMMATIC SUPPORT OF GLOBAL FOOD SECURITY. IT IS A NATIONAL NETWORK OF FARMERS PASSIONATE ABOUT THE ROLE OF AGRICULTURE IN ADDRESSING HUNGER AROUND THE WORLD. FOUNDATION SEEKS TO ENGAGE WITH POLICY MAKERS, PROMOTING A NATIONAL VISION AND COMMITMENT TO INTERNATIONAL AGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENT. IN U.S. FOREIGN POLICY, THE FOUNDATION'S UNIVERSITY ENGAGEMENT PROGRAM CONNECTS UNIVERSITY AND COLLEGE STUDENTS TO THE SUBJECTS OF GLOBAL FOOD SECURITY AND NUTRITION, INTERNATIONAL AGRICULTURE DEVELOPMENT SOLUTIONS. THE FOUNDATION'S UNIVERSITY ENGAGEMENT PROGRAMS INCLUDES TOWN HALL EXPERIENCES, EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES, CLASSROOM CURRICULUM AND AN INTERACTIVE MOBILE EXHIBIT. THROUGH THIS PROGRAM, THE FOUNDATION HAS ENGAGED WITH OVER 3 MILLION STUDENTS ACROSS MORE THAN 250 UNIVERSITY CAMPUSES AND OTHER VENUES. THE GOAL OF THE UNIVERSITY ENGAGEMENT PROGRAM IS TO CREATE FUTURE CHAMPIONS FOR AGRICULTURE. THE FOUNDATION'S PROGRAM, FJF POLICY DIALOGUE, IDENTIFIES IMPORTANT POLICY MOMENTS AND CREATES ACTIONABLE EDUCATION AND INTERVENTIONS GEARED TOWARDS NATIONAL LEVEL POLICYMAKERS. THROUGH THIS EFFORT, FJF BRINGS TOGETHER SOME OF THE MOST ELITE, GLOBAL THOUGHT LEADERSHIP ON TOPICS INCLUDING RESEARCH, INSTITUTIONAL CAPACITY BUILDING AND TRADE, TO CREATE CONCISE, IMPACTFUL RESEARCH PAPERS THAT FORM THE FRAMEWORK FOR CAPITOL HILL BRIEFINGS AND TO INFORM AND SUPPORT OTHER ORGANIZATIONS ADVOCATING FOR FOOD SECURITY AND PROPER NUTRITION. THE FOUNDATION'S PROGRAM AGRICULTURE THROUGH THE VOICE OF THE FARMER GARDEN IS A LIVING CLASSROOM THAT WAS LAUNCHED IN 2019 THROUGH A COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT WITH USDA'S AGRICULTURE MARKETING SERVICES. THIS EXHIBIT IS ANCHORED BY A PERMANENT GARDEN SPACE LOCATED ADJACENT TO THE JAMIE L. WHITTEN BUILDING ON THE USDA CAMPUS AND THE NATIONAL MALL. YEAR ROUND, IN-PERSON OR ONLINE VISITORS CAN ENGAGE IN A WALKING TOUR AROUND 12 PLOTS IN THE GARDEN AS NARRATED BY FARMERS WHO DISCUSS THE CROPS BEING GROWN AND THE IMPORTANCE OF AGRICULTURAL INNOVATIONS AND TECHNOLOGIES THAT MAKE FEEDING A GROWING POPULATION POSSIBLE. THE VOICE OF THE FARMER GARDEN IS STAFFED BY GARDEN AMBASSADORS WHO ARE LOCAL COLLEGE STUDENTS THAT HAVE BEEN SPECIALLY TRAINED THROUGH THE FOUNDATION'S ESTABLISHED LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS. AT THE GARDEN THESE AMBASSADORS ENGAGE WITH VISITORS, HOST VIP DELEGATIONS, AND MANAGE THE EXHIBIT. III(E). ADDITIONAL FACTORS PERTINENT TO MEMBERSHIP ORGANIZATIONS: NOT APPLICABLE.ExplanationTxt

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION FOR 2020THE FJF TEAM IS PROUD TO WORK EACH DAY TO SUPPORT FARMERS IN THE ESSENTIAL ROLE THEY PLAY IN FEEDING AND NOURISHING THE WORLD, A ROLE THAT BECAME EVEN MORE COMPLEX DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC. EMPTY GROCERY STORE SHELVES AT THE ONSET OF THE PANDEMIC SPARKED CURIOSITY AND APPRECIATION AMONG CONSUMERS FOR U.S. AGRICULTURE, THE RESILIENCE OF OUR FOOD SYSTEM AND FOOD SECURITY. IN ADDITION, OUR RECENT RESEARCH HAS ILLUSTRATED THAT THE PANDEMIC HAS FURTHER INCREASED CONCERN ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE AND THE IMPORTANCE OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION. WE FIND OURSELVES AT AN UNFORESEEN AND CRITICAL CROSSROADS TO CONNECT ON A UNIQUELY MEANINGFUL LEVEL WITH CONSUMERS, VOTERS AND STUDENTS ABOUT THE VALUE CHAIN OF FOOD AND NUTRITION. THE FOUNDATION HAS RESPONDED TO THIS OPPORTUNITY BY INVESTING IN NEW, TARGETED PROGRAMMING THAT REINFORCES THE CENTRAL ROLE OF FARMERS IN CREATING A SAFE, ABUNDANT GLOBAL FOOD SUPPLY WHILE STEWARDING THE PRECIOUS NATURAL RESOURCES WE ALL SHARE AND DEPEND UPON. PROGRAM EXAMPLES INCLUDE: FARMER AMBASSADORS: IN RESPONSE TO THE GLOBAL PANDEMIC THE FOUNDATION'S FARMER AMBASSADORS PROVIDED TARGETED GRANTS TO THEIR LOCAL COMMUNITIES TO ASSIST WITH PANDEMIC RELIEF EFFORTS. GRANTS WERE AWARDED TO LOCAL HUNGER ORGANIZATIONS, HOMEBOUND LEARNING INITIATIVES, SCHOOL LUNCH PROGRAMS, COMMUNITY GARDENS AND FAMILY COUNSELING SERVICES. K-12 EDUCATION: WITH EDUCATORS AND PARENTS SCRAMBLING TO FIND ENGAGING RESOURCES TO SUPPLEMENT HOMEBOUND LEARNING, FJF CREATED AND DISTRIBUTED A VARIETY OF E-LEARNING TOOLS TO SUPPORT HOMEBOUND LEARNING. TO DATE, TEACHERS IN ALL 50 STATES HAVE ACCESSED FJF E-LEARNING TOOLS, WHICH INCLUDES MORE THAN A DOZEN ELEARNING MODULES DESIGNED FOR MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL GRADE LEVELS. COMPLIMENTARY 3D GOGGLES WERE OFFERED TO TEACHERS TO DISTRIBUTE TO THEIR CLASSROOMS FOR ACCESSING THE MULTIPLE VIRTUAL REALITY IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCES WITHIN THE MODULES. TO DATE, MORE THAN 10,000 PEOPLE HAVE RECEIVED GOGGLES COURTESY OF THE FOUNDATION. FJF SPEAKER SERIES: TO SUPPORT UNIVERSITY'S IN HOMEBOUND LEARNING CURRICULUM AND TO CONTINUE OUR IMPACT WORKING WITH FUTURE LEADERS IN FOOD AND AGRICULTURE, FJF WORKED WITH A VARIETY OF PARTNERS TO CREATE AND LAUNCH AN IMPACTFUL SPEAKER SERIES. THE FOUNDATION CONNECTED WITH THOUSANDS OF STUDENTS THROUGH A VIRTUAL SPEAKER SERIES PROGRAM. CREATED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH AUBURN UNIVERSITY, PROGRAM PARTNERS INCLUDED CORNELL UNIVERSITY, DUKE UNIVERSITY, IOWA STATE UNIVERSITY, PENN STATE UNIVERSITY, TUSKEGEE UNIVERSITY, MINORITIES IN AGRICULTURE, NATURAL RESOURCES AND RELATED SCIENCES (MANRRS), UNIVERSITIES FIGHTING WORLD HUNGER AND GLOBAL TEACHAG!. THE SERIES, "REVISIONING THE GLOBAL FOOD SYSTEM," FEATURED PANEL DISCUSSIONS WITH FOOD AND AGRICULTURE IN THE CONTEXT OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC WITH THOUGHT LEADERS ACROSS MULTIPLE SECTORS INCLUDING GOVERNMENT, PRIVATE BUSINESS, NGOS AND ACADEMIA.

PART VIIIFARM JOURNAL FOUNDATION'S (FOUNDATION) CONTRIBUTION AND GRANT REVENUE FLUCTUATES FROM YEAR TO YEAR DEPENDING ON A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT FACTORS. THE PRIMARY FACTOR IS THAT WE RECEIVE SEVERAL MULTI-YEAR GRANTS FROM PROMINENT U.S. PRIVATE FOUNDATIONS THAT ESTABLISH GRANT DISTRIBUTION SCHEDULES CONTINGENT UPON ACHIEVING CERTAIN MILESTONES, TARGETS AND OTHER REPORTING DELIVERABLES. DEPENDING ON THE AGREED TIMING OF COMPLETING THESE MILESTONES OR TARGETS, OUR GRANT PAYMENTS WILL VARY FROM YEAR TO YEAR. SECONDARILY, AS THE FOUNDATION'S PROGRAMMATIC INITIATIVES CONTINUE TO GAIN ATTENTION FROM THE PUBLIC, WE ARE SEEING INCREASED DONATIONS FROM INDIVIDUAL DONORS. DEPENDING ON ECONOMIC AND SOCIETAL FACTORS (I.E. COVID-19), THE CHARITABLE GIVING WE RECEIVE WILL, LIKEWISE, FLUCTUATE WITH THE CURRENT ECONOMIC OUTLOOK.
