DescriptionWater and Agriculture - EWG's innovative research and data analysis focus on the impacts of agriculture policy on water quality, climate change, economic opportunity and dietary well-being. EWG's campaign for equity in farm payment programs triggered 475 editorials from U.S. newspapers clamoring for reform of the farm subsidy system and changed the debate on government supports. EWG's farm subsidy database, with over 124 million searches since 2004, is used daily by policy makers, opinion leaders and advocates who continue to push for an overhaul of our misguided farm policy. EWG pushed back on the ethanol industry's attempt for billions more in subsidies and bailouts to keep expanding production of corn ethanol with all its unresolved environmental and social problems. Working with other like-minded organizations, EWG developed a detailed agenda for overhauling ethanol and biofuel subsidies and mandates as part of a comprehensive energy policy for the United States.Description

DescriptionToxics and human health - EWG's cutting-edge research propels change that protects people from health problems attributed to a wide array of toxic contaminants in food, water, air, and consumer products. EWG's interactive safety guide for cosmetics (Skin Deep) garners 2 million searches monthly. It empowers consumers seeking safer products, and reveals policy gaps that allow hazardous ingredients in everyday products. EWG's national tap-water quality atlas discloses water contaminants in 40,000 communities nationwide and boosts efforts to clean up polluted water supplies. EWG measures the pollution in people through biomonitoring research, testing for more than 500 chemicals in hundreds of volunteers nationwide, and proving that babies are born prepolluted with hundreds of industrial chemicals, pesticides, and pollutants. Using innovative research and strategic advocacy, EWG has helped get hazardous chemicals and products off the market - including the toxic pesticide dursban, arsenic-treated wooden decks and playsets, the synthetic hormone and food contaminant bpa, and toxic teflon chemicals - and products with less hazardous ingredients into people's homes. EWG's work supports national chemical policy reform to close the significant gaps in public health protections that our research reveals.Description

DescriptionNatural Resources - EWG's unique data and geo-spatial analyses document the need for strong policies to protect public lands from hard rock mining, oil and gas production, and other extractive industries. EWG testified before the New York City Council Environmental Protection Committee on proposed natural gas drilling in the New York City watershed. Natural gas companies want to use a process called hydraulic fracturing, which involves injecting water laced with toxic chemicals into the ground. The technique threatens environmental health and the safety of public drinking water.Description

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 2Nina Montee Karp, Director, is the spouse of Dr. Harvey Karp, Director.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11The VP Finance and Chief Operating Officer reviews the federal Form 990 with the Chief of Staff and President in its draft form and any required revisions are submitted to the external tax team. The final federal Form 990 is distributed to the Board of Directors before filing with the Internal Revenue Service.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12cThe Board of Directors annually reviews the Conflict of Interest Policy (COI) and discloses any potential conflict of interest. All EWG Staff and Board of Directors sign a Conflict of Interest Disclosure Statement annually. The signed documents are reviewed by the Chief of Staff and General Counsel and are kept by the VP Finance and Chief Operating Officer. The COI Policy is always taken into consideration when there is the potential for conflict, particularly when signing new contracts or beginning new relationships. Any possible appearance of conflict of interest that arises in the course of business is researched to determine the existence of a conflict. If a contract is to be made with a related party, it is disclosed to the Board of Directors and a vote is taken prior to entering into the contract. If EWG staff members identify a conflict of interest, the Chief of Staff and General Counsel or VP Finance and Chief Operating Officer share this information with the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors for its action. Board members are precluded from voting on matters for which a conflict exists.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15The Board of Directors designates a compensation committee of Board members to review the President. All staff are reviewed by the President and not the Board of Directors. Compensation comparison data is used to determine appropriate compensation levels. External salary surveys are purchased to compare like organizations by area of focus, geographic area, and function. Comparable environmental non-profits' federal Form 990 are also reviewed for salary information. In addition, an external specific compensation report is ordered each year regarding EWG's President.
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19Governing Documents, Conflict of Interest policy and financial Statements are not available to the public. The IRS federal Form 990 and Form 1023 are provided upon request.
Form 990, Part XI, line 5:Net unrealized gains on investments: 329.Changes in Net Assets or Fund Balances:
