| Description | See schedule oAmong Grist's accomplishments in FY2010 were: 1.Groundbreaking news coverage. Grist is a vital independent news source with the flexibility to cover key environmental stories such as the ramifications of the BP oil spill; the debate around federal climate legislation; and the growing urban sustainability movement. In some cases - from our expose on the truths behind the salmonella-tainted egg recall to our coverage of the EPA's approval of a pesticide fingered in bee colony collapse disorder - we were the first to report on these topics, influencing public opinion, policy proceedings, and coverage in other media outlets. 2.Increase in audience. We saw significant growth in our reach over the course of the fiscal year, with unique users per month growing 29 percent thanks to a combination of strong reporting and increased social media and marketing activities.3.Piloted innovative new engagement projects. During the fiscal year Grist piloted a technological initiative known as Grist Labs, through which we developed tools such as the micro-site DoNotEatThis.com, a revealing look at industrial inedibles, all with the goal of increasing public engagement with green issues. 4.Surge in influence. Our editorial content makes Grist a go-to source for influential people, many of whom are now contributing to our work, as well as citing it. OTHER INFLUENTIAL PUBLICATIONS ALSO RELY ON OUR WORK. IN THIS WAY, WE HELP TO SET THE AGENDA ON GREEN ISSUES. FOR EXAMPLE, OUR WRITERS AND REPORTING ARE FREQUENTLY REFERRED TO BY TOP MEDIA OUTLETS LIKE THE NEW YORK TIMES, NEWSWEEK, AND BUSINESS WEEK; AND INFLUENTIAL INDIVIDUALS ON TWITTER AND FACEBOOK LIKEWISE DEPEND ON OUR WORK AND IN TURN CIRCULATE IT TO THEIR FOLLOWERS, EXPANDING OUR REACH SIGNIFICANTLY. | Description |

| Explanation | Very occasionally, Grist has covered travel costs for the President/CEO's family (approx. 2 times over the last few years) due to related business needs. Board Chairs were always consulted/notified of these trips and travel costs were incurred and purchased according to Grist's standard procurement policies and requirements for substantiation. Otherwise, we do not have a specific policy concerning companion travel because it occurs so infrequently. | Explanation |

| Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 8b | The organization does not have any committee that acts on the Board's behalf. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11 | Before the tax return is filed, members of Grist's Management Team including the President, General Manager, Director of Development, and Director of Finance will review the detailed information included in the return for accuracy and appropriateness. This group has a strong understanding of Grist's operations and finances as well as the return's format and purpose. Any questions or issues will be discussed and concurred on as a group. The entire board will receive a copy of the Form 990 at the next board meeting after the return is filed. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c | All officers, directors and employees of the organization must comply with Grist's conflict of interest policy. Officers and directors review and sign the policy on an annual basis; employees do so at their start of employment. Any conflicts or matters that may arise are discussed and considered immediately. If a true conflict exists, the affected individual(s) are restricted from participating in any decision making related to the matter. No conflicts have arisen in our past. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15 | FOR THE PRESIDENT: AN INDEPENDENT COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD, led by Board Chair SUSAN KAUFMAN and including the Board Treasurer and two other Board Members, uses committee memberS' understanding of and comparison to other nonprofit organizations to determine compensation. This committee conducts two compensation evaluation processes. 1) SALARY: The PRESIDENT IS ELIGIBLE FOR SALARY INCREASES IN LINE WITH THE REST OF THE STAFF BASED ON A PERFORMANCE REVIEW. The committee collects INPUT FROM THE BOARD AND ALL STAFF about how the PRESIDENT is performing AS A MANAGER AND LEADER. When applicable, the committee may also consider a MARKET ADJUSTMENT to the salary. 2) PRESIDENT'S BONUS: A set bonus pool is determined at the beginning of the fiscal year, and the amount awarded is CALCULATED by the committee BASED ON ACTUAL PERFORMANCE VERSUS budgetary and OBJECTIVE GOALS FOR THE ORGANIZATION. For Other Employees: OTHER EMPLOYEES' COMPENSATION AMOUNTS ARE DETERMINED BY THE PRESIDENT. |
