ENVIRONMENTAL WORKING GROUP'S (EWG) MISSION IS THE EMPOWERMENT OF INDIVIDUALS AND COMMUNITIES WITH INFORMATION TO UNDERSTAND AND SAFEGUARD PUBLIC HEALTH, NATURAL RESOURCES AND THE ENVIRONMENT. 0 0 3385177 158139 EWG'S SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE PROGRAM WORKS TO BUILD A TRULY SUSTAINABLE FOOD PRODUCTION SYSTEM THAT SUPPORTS FAMILY FARMS, PROTECTS PUBLIC HEALTH, AND IMPROVES THE ENVIRONMENT. IN 2014, WE FOCUSED ON FARM SUBSIDY AND CROP INSURANCE REFORM THAT PROMOTES SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE AND CONTINUED OUR GROUNDBREAKING USE OF STATE-OF-THE-ART REMOTE SENSING AND GEOSPATIAL ANALYSIS TO SHOW AND VISUALIZE COMPELLING STORIES ABOUT INDUSTRIAL AGRICULTURE AND ITS OFTEN DEVASTATING IMPACTS TO OUR LANDSCAPES AND WATERSHEDS. BUILDING ON OUR 2013 MAJOR VICTORY IN THE SUBSIDY REFORM FIGHT AS BOTH THE HOUSE AND SENATE VERSIONS OF THE FARM BILL FINALLY ENDED DIRECT PAYMENTS, WE CONTINUED TO PUSH HARD FOR CROP INSURANCE REFORM IN 2014 AND THE ONLY MAJOR ENVIRONMENTAL ORGANIZATION TO CONTINUE TO MAKE SUCH REFORM A TOP PRIORITY. WE WERE IN THE MEDIA ON NEARLY A DAILY BASIS AND BECAME A TRUSTED SOURCE OF EXPERT KNOWLEDGE FOR REPORTERS, CONGRESSIONAL STAFF AND OTHER STAKEHOLDERS. 2010641 THE TOXICS & HUMAN HEALTH PROGRAM IS DEDICATED TO HELPING PEOPLE LIVE HEALTHIER LIVES IN A HEALTHIER ENVIRONMENT BY PROTECTING PUBLIC HEALTH AND THE ENVIRONMENT FROM THE TOXIC CHEMICALS IN EVERYDAY PRODUCTS. AS RATES OF DISEASE RELATED TO CHEMICAL EXPOSURE CONTINUE TO RISE, INCLUDING CANCER IN ADULTS AND CHILDREN, CHILDHOOD ASTHMA, DEVELOPMENTAL DISORDERS AND PREMATURE BIRTH, IT'S TIME FOR OUR COUNTRY TO ADDRESS THE CONSTANT AND CHRONIC LOW DOSE EXPOSURE TO LARGELY UNTESTED INDUSTRIAL CHEMICALS IN THE FOOD WE EAT, PRODUCTS WE BUY, WATER WE DRINK AND AIR WE BREATHE. EWG EDUCATES CONSUMERS ABOUT THE HEALTH IMPACTS CAUSED BY EXPOSURE TO CHEMICALS VIA THOUGHTFUL AND WELL-EXECUTED RESEARCH AND COMMUNICATION EFFORTS. WE TACKLED SEVERAL BIG RESEARCH PROJECTS IN 2014, INCLUDING THE LAUNCH OF THE NEW FOOD DATABASE AND IPHONE AND ANDROID APP, A CONSUMER EDUCATION TOOL THAT WILL HOUSE MORE THAN 80,000 FOODS AND 5,000 INGREDIENTS FROM 1,500 BRANDS, SCORING EACH OF THESE FOODS BASED ON THEIR NUTRITION, DEGREE OF PROCESSING, AND INGREDIENT CONCERNS. WE UPDATED OUR SKIN DEEP DATABASE AND SUNSCREEN GUIDE FOR 2014. WE ALSO CONTINUED OUR ONGOING WORK TO EXPOSE POSTER-CHILD CHEMICALS THAT POSE A SIGNIFICANT RISK TO HUMAN HEALTH AND THE ENVIRONMENT, INCLUDING DRINKING WATER CONTAMINANTS AND FLAME RETARDANT CHEMICALS IN TODDLERS AND MOTHERS. 190134 HEALTHY CHILD HEALTHY WORLD IS A NEW PROGRAM THAT IS ALREADY A LEADING MOVEMENT THAT EDUCATES PARENTS, SUPPORTS PROTECTIVE POLICIES, AND ENGAGES COMMUNITIES TO MAKE RESPONSIBLE DECISIONS, SIMPLE EVERYDAY CHOICES, AND WELL-INFORMED LIFESTYLE IMPROVEMENTS TO CREATE HEALTHY ENVIRONMENTS FOR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES. 162546 THE NATURAL RESOURCES PROGRAM WORKS TO PREVENT RECKLESS OIL AND NATURAL GAS DRILLING AND HYDRAULIC FRACTURING BY FOCUSING ON GENERATING AWARENESS AND ACTION AT THE STATE LEVEL THAT WILL LAY THE GROUNDWORK FOR GREATER REFORM NATIONWIDE. EWG BEEN VERY SUCCESSFUL IN ITS FIGHT TO CONTINUE THE MORATORIUM ON SHALE GAS DRILLING IN NEW YORK STATE, WHERE FRACKING WOULD POSE A SIGNIFICANT THREAT TO WATER SUPPLIES, PUBLIC HEALTH AND THE ENVIRONMENT. IN 2014, AFTER YEARS OF EWG'S RESEARCH AND ADVOCACY SUPPORT OF GRASSROOTS ORGANIZATIONS IN NEW YORK STATE, GOVERNOR CUOMO KEPT IN PLACE A STATEWIDE MORATORIUM ON FRACKING. EWG'S NATURAL RESOURCES TEAM ALSO CONDUCTED IN-DEPTH RESEARCH AND REPORT WRITING ON FRACKING IN CALIFORNIA, ENGAGED IN DISCUSSIONS WITH REGULATORY AGENCIES, CONVENED SUMMITS AND CONFERENCE CALLS WITH LIKE-MINDED ORGANIZATIONS, ENGAGED OUR CALIFORNIA ONLINE SUPPORTERS, AND TRAVELED THE STATE TO SPEAK ABOUT THE PROBLEMS WITH FRACKING AND THE LACK OF REGULATORY OVERSIGHT. BECAUSE OF THIS WORK WE MADE TREMENDOUS STRIDES TOWARDS CREATING SAFETY REGULATIONS IN THE STATE (FOR WHAT USED TO BE AN INVISIBLE INDUSTRY) IN A VERY SHORT TIME. WE CONTINUED TO RAISE CONCERNS ABOUT THE IMPACTS OF FRACKING ON WATER QUALITY IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA AND POTENTIAL CHEMICAL POLLUTION IN FRACKED WELLS. WE ALSO WORKED WITH COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY TO EXPLORE THE WATER-ENERGY NEXUS AND ORGANIZE TO PROMOTE CLEAN ENERGY AT THE GRASSROOTS LEVEL. 112747 NATURAL RESOURCES 275293 5861245 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 29 0 1 81 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 X 15 14 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 AL AK AZ AR CA CO CT FL GA HI IL KS KY MD ME MA MI MN MS NH NJ NM NY NC ND OH OK OR PA RI SC TN UT VA WA WV WI X SCOTT MALLAN 2026676982 1436 U STREET NW SUITE 100 WASHINGTON DC 200093987 KEN COOK PRESIDENT 40.00 X X 274642 0 18480 CAROL MCDONNELL CHAIR 2.00 X X 0 0 0 BILL ROSS VICE-CHAIR 2.00 X X 0 0 0 STEVEN DAMATO UNTIL 022014 TREASURER 2.00 X X 0 0 0 DRUMMOND PIKE AS OF 022014 TREASURER 2.00 X X 0 0 0 AMI ARONSON MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 DAVID BAKER MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 JENNIFER CALDWELL MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 ROB FETHERSTONHAUGH MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 CHRISTINE GARDNER MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 ANNA GETTY UNTIL 092014 MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 MELISSA HUGHES MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 DR MARK HYMAN MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 DR HARVEY KARP MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 NINA MONTEE KARP MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 LAURA T SEYDEL MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 FRANCESCA VIETOR MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 HEATHER WHITE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.00 X 216530 0 29605 SCOTT MALLAN VP FINANCE & COO 40.00 X 158553 0 14548 SCOTT FABER SENIOR VP GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS 40.00 X 205180 0 22466 CRAIG COX SENIOR VP OF AGRICULTURE 40.00 X 183542 0 11938 CHRIS CAMPBELL VP INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY 40.00 X 174353 0 18480 NILS BRUZELIUS EXECUTIVE EDITOR & VP PUBLICATIONS 40.00 X 126350 0 21555 ELAINE SHANNON EDITOR IN CHIEF 40.00 X 125862 0 18591 RENEE SHARP VP RESEARCH 40.00 X 128658 0 14204 BILL ALLAYAUD DIRECTOR OF GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS, CA 40.00 X 131632 0 6367 JOCELYN BABUSCIO VP DEVELOPMENT 40.00 X 119635 0 21180 1844937 0 197414 15 0 1 0 CORNUCOPIA INC 7510 HAMILTON SPRINGS ROAD BETHESDA MD 20817 EVENT PLANNING 186433 BRACEWELL & GIULIANI PO BOX 848566 DALLAS TX 75284 LOBBYIST 140000 ANNE LEWIS STRATEGIES 1140 19TH STREET NW SUITE 300 WASHINGTON DC 20036 SUPPORTER EMAIL CULTIVATION 120800 INTERNATIONAL FULFILLMENT COMPANY 3570 BLADENSBURG ROAD BRENTWOOD MD 20722 PACKING AND SHIPPING 106226 SALSA LABS PO BOX 674533 DETROIT MI 48267 SUPPORTER EMAIL MANAGEMENT 102400 5 384333 10075097 70141 10459430 ADMIN/CONSULTING FEES 900099 138020 138020 HONORARIUMS 900099 10119 10119 148139 8101 8101 20800 384333 356856 -336056 -336056 MISCELLANEOUS REVENUE 900099 10000 10000 10000 10289614 158139 0 -327955 1328320 1001914 218249 108157 2936184 2102655 306355 527174 138498 104901 11683 21914 454962 341189 48967 64806 262700 186311 35889 40500 47314 35510 8688 3116 15205 15205 518675 518675 23411 23411 340975 325261 15714 1493 1134 270 89 327211 208258 93547 25406 195275 161371 15660 18244 447622 329858 58547 59217 216325 108383 16825 91117 89293 32335 33620 23338 112 112 78723 64282 6860 7581 55704 41433 6503 7768 FULFILLMENT 468777 144817 2179 321781 RESEARCH, PUBLICATIONS 145288 110157 18986 16145 DUES & LICENSES 84311 15114 7335 61862 EMPLOYEE TRAINING 34812 22543 5277 6992 25608 5032 20071 505 8236798 5861245 946430 1429123 1420770 2949582 390000 571063 894724 547752 131274 83034 1172910 835850 124293 337060 447414 1016979 162359 180236 3570834 5685706 367084 442146 57424 50680 424508 492826 X 1427770 2613470 1718556 2579410 3146326 5192880 3570834 5685706 2052816 -3494 -2768 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 5446175 5761475 6659926 7348926 10459430 35675932 5446175 5761475 6659926 7348926 10459430 35675932 7917844 27758088 6500 5537 3776 7810 8101 31724 3522 2499 450 324 6795 35714451 1079863 0.77720 0.77100 X SCHEDULE A, PART II, LINE 10, EXPLANATION OF OTHER INCOME: MISCELLANEOUS INCOME - 2010 AMOUNT: $ 3,522. 2011 AMOUNT: $ 2,499. 2012 AMOUNT: $ 150. 2013 AMOUNT: $ 324.
