Return ReferenceDescription of Uncertain Tax Positions Under FIN 48:ReturnReference
ExplanationRED WIGGLER is exempt from income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. However, RED WIGGLER is required to report unrelated business income to the Internal Revenue Service and the state of Maryland. There was no unrelated business income tax expense for the years ended September 30, 2010 and 2009. Effective October 1, 2009 RED WIGGLER adopted a policy that clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity's financial statements. The policy prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement principles for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on an income tax return that are not certain to be realized. The implementation of this policy had no impact on the Organization's financial statements. The income tax positions taken by RED WIGGLER for any years open under the various statutes of limitations are that RED WIGGLER continues to be exempt from income taxes and RED WIGGLER has properly reported unrelated business income that is subject to income taxes. RED WIGGLER believes that there are no tax positions taken or expected to be taken that would significantly increase unrecognized tax benefits within 12 months of the reporting date. None of RED WIGGLER's federal income tax returns are currently under examination. However, fiscal years 2008 and later remain subject to examination by the IRS and state authorities.Explanation

Form 990, Part III, Line 1, Description of Organization Mission VISION Creating fertile ground to nourish a healthy and inclusive community. MISSION Red Wiggler Community Farm cultivates healthy food through: Meaningful employment for adults with developmental disabilities Educational and Service Learning opportunities for youth and adults with and without disabilities Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) programs that provide fresh, locally-grown produce Environmental stewardship
Form 990, Part III, Line 4a, Description of Exempt Purpose Achievements Our vision is to nourish a healthy and inclusive community in which each participant, with or without disability, has a place to realize their full potential through our multidimensional mission/programs: 1. Grower Program opportunities provide meaningful training, employment, and community social interaction for adults with developmental disabilities. In FY10 we experienced a 7% increase of paid participants who tended to the plants, fields, barn, and equipment. These employees earn money, pay taxes, learn new life skills, gain knowledge about the natural world, and enjoy a high level of community inclusion in a meaningful and therapeutic setting. 2. Educational Service Learning Programs impacted 735 youth and adults with and without disabilities. They participated in all aspects of the growing cycle while learning about the natural environment. We experienced a 31% increase of youth and adult participants with developmental disabilities. This program increases important community relationships as new linkages are made with partnering schools and organizations serving people with disabilities. This includes adults that are transitioning from school or another job into the Red Wiggler workforce. These are unpaid positions that require a specific period of on-the-job vocational training and life skills while significantly connecting them to the outdoor classroom through vegetable production for the community and educational lessons on environmental stewardship. 3. Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) activities impacted 285 people with developmental disabilities living in 95 group homes. This program increased by 67% in 2010. Another 3,340 pounds of vegetables grown by people with developmental disabilities was delivered to our local Food Bank. The CSA also provided fresh harvests of vegetables to another 98 households enabling us to realize our vision of a healthy and inclusive community. The program maintained its USDA Organic certification.
