| Mission | MEDIA DEVELOPMENT INVESTMENT FUND, INC. (MDIF) WAS ESTABLISHED TO PLACE PROGRAM RELATED INVESTMENTS (PRIS), PRIMARILY LOW-INTEREST LOANS, TO INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPERS, MAGAZINES, NEWS AGENCIES, RADIO AND TELEVISION STATIONS, AND INTERNET-BASED MEDIA OUTLETS IN DIFFERENT COUNTRIES OF THE WORLD. MDIF OFFERS PRIS TO WORTHY INDEPENDENT MEDIA ORGANIZATIONS DEVOTED AND PERSISTENT IN PROMOTING AND EXERCISING THE PRINCIPLES OF FREE, INDEPENDENT AND RESPONSIBLE PRESS. PRIS ARE OFFERED TO SUPPORT PROJECTS THAT BROADEN AND STRENGTHEN OPERATIONS FOR WHICH THESE MEDIA ORGANIZATIONS CANNOT OBTAIN FUNDING FROM OTHER SOURCES ON ECONOMICALLY FEASIBLE TERMS. MANY OF THESE MEDIA ORGANIZATIONS ARE STARVED FOR CAPITAL BECAUSE THEY WORK IN ENVIRONMENTS CHARACTERIZED BY POORLY DEVELOPED BANKING SYSTEMS, ECONOMIES IN TRANSITION, LACK OF FRESH INVESTING CAPITAL, GOVERNMENTS THAT ARE VERY OFTEN SECRETLY OR OPENLY HOSTILE TO THE IDEA OF FREE AND INDEPENDENT PRESS, AND WHERE LENDING INSTITUTIONS CHARGE EXORBITANT, A | MissionDesc |

| Desc | MDIF provides loan financing by way of "program related investments" (PRIs), that allow non-profits to make investments in firms whose work will further their charitable mission. MDIF maintains a segregated pool of funds from which it makes loans and other PRIs. Loan repayments are recycled through the pool and loaned out repeatedly. With every PRI, MDIF provides customized training and technical assistance to its BENEFICIARIES, from the first stage of developing a business plan through to the final discharge of the loan. In addition, MDIF trains its borrowers and other media organizations in the use and transfer of Internet-based technology and its impact on the future development of media business. In determining whether to make a loan or other program-related investment, the Fund faces both political and legal risk. The Fund makes loans and other program-related investments in countries where political stability may be of concern. This type of risk is assessed before the Fund starts operations in a certain country. The legal risk may arise as a result of making loans and other program-related investments in countries with differing legal systems than those of the United States of America. Those systems are sometimes characterized by uncertainty and lack of independent legal institutions, including judiciary. The Fund's model loan contract was drafted by U.S. attorneys and the Fund has all loans reviewed by attorneys in the country of each borrower. | Desc |

| Schedule F, Part I, Line 2 | Applying for MDIF financing is a detailed process that usually takes several months. MDIF undertakes a rigorous process to fully understand a Beneficiary's business and the intended use of the funds to be granted or loaned to the organization. Potential Beneficiaries need to understand the demands that MDIF will make on them should their application be successful, such as intended and actual use of funds loaned or granted. To be eligible to apply for MDIF financing, a media outlet must have been operating legally in its home country for at least a year, although the Board may waive the one-year requirement when the Mission so requires, have an established reputation for promoting democratic institutions and practices and exercising the principles of a free, independent and responsible press, devote a significant part of editorial content or programming to be fact-based news and documentaries, independent from the influence of the government or any other interest group, offer coverage of different political opinions and promote human rights, the rights of ethnic minorities and inter-ethnic co-existence, not be owned by the government, a state agency, a foreign legal entity, or an oligarch business interest that may interfere with editorial policy for its own interests, present a detailed project aimed at broadening and strengthening the outlet's operation, have strong prospects of being able to repay the loan and becoming self sustaining, ensure that funds will be used as stipulated, and provide MDIF with unrestricted access to accounting records. |
| Schedule F, Part I, Line 3, Column F | MDIF has reported two different types of transactions on Schedule F: 1. Grants made to foreign organizations. These are detailed in Part of Schedule F and the sum reported in Part I ties back to Form 990, Part IX, Line 3. 2. Loan and equity disbursements made to foreign organizations during the current year The amounts reported in Part I, Line 3, column (f) represent the program related investments MDIF disbursed in the form of loans, finance leases and equity investments to newspaper publishers, TV and radio stations, printing houses, news agencies and online publishers in various countries. The amounts listed represent the current year expenditures. |
| Schedule F, Part II, Line 1, Col D | MDIF's primary exempt purpose is to support news outlets in countries with a history of oppression of the freedom of expression. Occasionally, MDIF will make grants to organizations in these countries to provide leading journalists with the support they need to create lasting institutions for change. |
| Schedule F, Part IV | Media Development Investment Fund, Inc. holds several program related investments outside the United States. To the extent that its ownership of these investments exceeds the thresholds for requiring a Form 926 or Form 5471, those filings have been attached to the organization's Form 990-T as required. |

| Form 990, Part V, Line 2A | THE INDIVIDUALS PERFORMING SERVICES FOR MEDIA DEVELOPMENT Investment FUND, INC (MDIF) ARE LEASED EMPLOYEES FROM AN UNRELATED ORGANIZATION, OPEN SOCIETY INSTITUTE, INC (OSI). MDIF PAYS OSI A MANGAGEMENT AND ADMINISTRATIVE FEE TO COVER EMPLOYEE COSTS, INCLUDING SALARY, BENEFITS AND OTHER ANCILLARY COSTS. TEN EMPLOYEES PROVIDING SERVICES TO MDIF RECEIVE THEIR W-2 FROM OSI. These individuals are not included on PART V, LINE 2A. |
| FORM 990, Part VI, Line 11 | THE FORM 990 HAS BEEN PROVIDED TO THE AUDIT COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS FOR APPROVAL PRIOR TO FILING. ONCE APPROVED, A COPY OF THE FORM 990 WAS PROVIDED TO THE FULL BOARD. THE FORM 990 WAS PREPARED BY A NATIONALLY RENOWNED ACCOUNTING FIRM AND REVIEWED IN DETAIL BY THE FUND'S MANAGING DIRECTOR AND ASSISTANT TREASURER. |
| FORM 990, Part VI, Line 12C | Each officer, director, trustee and key employee of MDIF is required to annually disclose any conflicts of interest that arise by virtue of their employment, board service, or position with the College. MDIF monitors compliance with its conflict of interest policy through an annual questionnaire/disclosure statement that is distributed to these individuals. Potential conflicts are investigated immediately. |
| FORM 990, Part VI, Line 15A | THE TOP MANAGEMENT OFFICAL'S SALARY IS DETERMINED BY THE MDIF BOARD OF DIRECTORS. MDIF UNDERTAKES A LENGTHY PROCESS TO ENSURE THAT THE COMPENSATION IT PAYS IS REASONABLE. IN RELEVANT PART, THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS utilizes A COMPENSATION COMMITTEE COMPRISED OF Independent PERSONS THAT HAVE NO PERSONAL interest IN THE PROPOSED COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENT. The compensation committee may use an independent compensation consultant to advise on the appropriate compensation levels for the top management official. The compensation consultant uses benchmarking data that documents the compensation of persons holding similar positions in similar organizations. Once the compensation consultant has made its recommendations, the MDIF compensation committee approves the compensation. This final determination is then documented in committee minutes. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Line 15B | MDIF undertakes the same exact procedure for its officers and key employees as it does for its top management official. The only difference in the process is that the CEO will make the final determination about the officers' salaries. |
