| Desc | PROPUBLICA'S 2023 REPORTING SHONE AN UNPRECEDENTED SPOTLIGHT ON INFLUENCE AND ETHICS AT THE SUPREME COURT. A SERIES OF INVESTIGATIVE STORIES REVEALED THE FINANCIAL TIES BETWEEN JUSTICE CLARENCE THOMAS AND BILLIONAIRE REPUBLICAN MEGA-DONOR HARLAN CROW; DOCUMENTED JUSTICE SAMUEL ALITO'S LUXURY TRAVEL WITH BILLIONAIRE AND REPUBLICAN DONOR PAUL SINGER; AND CHRONICLED CONSERVATIVE KINGMAKER LEONARD LEO'S WEB OF MONEY, INFLUENCE AND POWER. WE ALSO PUBLISHED A FIRST-OF-ITS-KIND DATABASE THAT MADE IT EASY FOR THE PUBLIC TO SEARCH AND READ FOR THEMSELVES THE JUSTICES' ANNUAL FINANCIAL DISCLOSURES.[SEE CONTINUATION ON SCHEDULE O]OUR JOURNALISM PROMPTED HISTORIC REFORMS. THE COURT ADOPTED A CODE OF CONDUCT, A FIRST IN ITS 235-YEAR HISTORY. DOZENS OF MEMBERS OF CONGRESS HAVE PRESSED FOR ETHICS REFORM, INTRODUCING MULTIPLE BILLS. THE SENATE HELD HEARINGS ON THE SUBJECT, OPENED AN INVESTIGATION AND AUTHORIZED SUBPOENAS. JUSTICE THOMAS AMENDED HIS PAST FINANCIAL DISCLOSURES TO REPORT SOME - BUT NOT ALL - OF WHAT THE REPORTERS UNCOVERED.OUR INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALISM CONTINUES TO PRODUCE OTHER SIGNIFICANT REAL-WORLD CHANGE. FOLLOWING OUR 2023 REPORTING WITH LOCAL REPORTING NETWORK PARTNER IDAHO STATESMAN, IDAHO GOV. BRAD LITTLE PROPOSED A $2 BILLION INVESTMENT IN THE STATE'S PUBLIC SCHOOLS INFRASTRUCTURE - THE LARGEST INVESTMENT IN SCHOOL FACILITIES IN STATE HISTORY. IN HIS ANNOUNCEMENT, LITTLE SHOWED THE PHOTOS OF FALLEN CEILING TILES, CRACKED PAINT AND DAMAGED DRAINS WE PUBLISHED AS A PART OF THE INVESTIGATION. PHILIPS RESPIRONICS ANNOUNCED THAT IT WOULD STOP MANUFACTURING AND SELLING ALL SLEEP APNEA MACHINES AND VENTILATORS IN THE UNITED STATES, FOLLOWING OUR INVESTIGATION WITH PARTNER PITTSBURGH POST-GAZETTE THAT EXPOSED HOW THE COMPANY HELD BACK THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT ITS POPULAR BREATHING MACHINES FOR MORE THAN A DECADE, DESPITE EVIDENCE THAT THE DEVICES COULD RELEASE POTENTIALLY TOXIC PARTICLES AND FUMES INTO THE MASKS WORN BY PATIENTS.THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHER MILESTONES FROM OUR 15TH YEAR OF REPORTING: WE OPENED A NEW REPORTING HUB IN THE NORTHWEST; WE LAUNCHED AN EDITOR TRAINING PROGRAM TO INCREASE THE RANKS OF INVESTIGATIVE EDITORS FROM DIVERSE BACKGROUNDS; AND WE PUBLISHED OUR FIRST INTERVIEW WITH A SITTING PRESIDENT. | Desc |

| Explanation | A) EMERGENCY REPORTER STIPENDS TO INDIVIDUALS: STIPEND PAYMENTS REPRESENT A FORM OF GRANT ASSISTANCE PROVIDED TO PARTICIPANTS IN VARIOUS PROPUBLICA OUTREACH PROGRAMS. PARTICIPANTS IN THE PROGRAMS ARE SELECTED VIA COMPETITIVE APPLICATION PROCESS IN WHICH THE APPLICANTS ARE CHOSEN BASED ON THEIR QUALIFICATIONS AND CAREER PROSPECTS IN THE FIELD OF INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALISM. FUNDING IS OFTEN PROVIDED AS A PART OF A GRANT RECEIVED BY PROPUBLICA. IN SUCH INSTANCES, THE GRANT REQUIREMENTS DETERMINE THE AMOUNT OF FUNDING AVAILABLE AND MAY INFORM THE STIPEND PAYMENT PROCESS. IF THE FUNDING IS PROVIDED THROUGH PROPUBLICA'S GENERAL OPERATING BUDGET, FUNDING AVAILABILITY IS DETERMINED BASED ON OVERALL BUDGETARY CONCERNS. BASED ON THESE PARAMETERS, PROGRAM DIRECTORS DETERMINE WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING SITUATIONS APPLY: - ALL PARTICIPANTS RECEIVE EQUAL STIPEND AMOUNTS. - ALL PARTICIPANTS RECEIVE SOME STIPEND, WITH THE AWARD AMOUNT VARYING BASED ON DETERMINATION OF NEED. - SOME PARTICIPANTS RECEIVE STIPENDS, WITH THE AWARD AMOUNT VARYING BASED ON DETERMINATION OF NEED. IN THIS INSTANCE, APPLICANTS MUST APPLY FOR ASSISTANCE AS A SEPARATE PROCEDURE FROM THE GENERAL APPLICATION PROCESS AND ARE NOTIFIED THE AMOUNT OF THE TOTAL ASSISTANCE AVAILABLE BASED ON GRANT FUNDS AVAILABLE. APPLICATIONS FOR ASSISTANCE REQUIRE APPLICANTS TO ADDRESS THE FOLLOWING: - EXPLICITLY ANSWER THE QUESTION OF WHETHER OR NOT THEY NEED FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. - PROVIDE THE AMOUNT OF ASSISTANCE THAT THEY ARE REQUESTING BASED ON PRE-DETERMINED FUND AVAILABILITY. - EXPLAIN HOW THE FUNDING WOULD MAKE IT POSSIBLE FOR THEM TO ATTEND THE PROGRAM WHEN THEY OTHERWISE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO. IF THE CASE IS COMPELLING, THE REQUEST FOR ASSISTANCE IS GRANTED UP TO THE LIMITS OF THE FUNDS AVAILABLE. IF THE EXPLANATION OF NEED INCLUDES THE COST OF EXPENSES THAT ARE ALREADY COVERED FOR ALL ATTENDEES, THE AMOUNT OF THE GRANT MAY BE REDUCED ACCORDINGLY. FOR EXAMPLE, IF A PARTICULAR PROGRAM COVERS THE COST OF LODGING AND TRAVEL FOR ALL ATTENDEES AND LODGING/TRAVEL ARE INCLUDED IN THE EXPLANATION OF NEED, THE AMOUNT AWARDED MAY BE REDUCED. WHEN FUNDING IS PROVIDED VIA PASS-THROUGH GRANTS FROM OTHER ORGANIZATIONS, MONITORING OF FUND USAGE AND FOLLOW-UP ARE BASED UPON ONGOING VERBAL AND WRITTEN DIALOGUE, GRANT REPORTING REQUIREMENTS, AND WRITTEN GRANT REPORTS PROVIDED TO GRANTING ORGANIZATIONS AT THE END OF THE GRANT PERIOD. WHEN FUNDING IS PROVIDED THROUGH GENERAL OPERATING BUDGET DESIGNATION, PROPUBLICA MAINTAINS RECORDS OF INDIVIDUALS RECEIVING AND BENEFITTING FROM GRANT FUNDS, INCLUDING COMPLETED W-9 FORMS. AS THESE GRANTS ARE NEED-BASED, SUCH FUNDS MAY BE USED FOR ANY PURPOSE. B) LOCAL REPORTING NETWORK GRANTS TO ORGANIZATIONS AND INDIVIDUALS: PROPUBLICA PROVIDES REGRANT FUNDING TO ORGANIZATIONS AND INDIVIDUALS THAT PARTICIPATED IN LOCAL REPORTING INITIATIVES. THROUGH THESE INITIATIVES, PROPUBLICA PARTNERS WITH LOCAL NEWSROOMS THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES TO PROVIDE FUNDING FOR A REPORTER TO WORK ON AN INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALISM PROJECT OR PROJECTS FOR A SPECIFIED PERIOD OF TIME. MOST OFTEN, THE GRANTEE IS THE NEWSROOM ORGANIZATION ITSELF; HOWEVER, OCCASIONALLY, FUNDING MAY BE PROVIDED DIRECTLY TO A REPORTER WITH AN AFFILIATION TO THE SELECTED NEWSROOM. NEWSROOMS ARE SELECTED TO PARTICIPATE IN THESE INITIATIVES VIA A COMPETITIVE APPLICATION PROCESS, AND IN ADDITION TO FUNDING, PARTNERS RECEIVE ACCESS TO PROPUBLICA RESOURCES INCLUDING EDITORS, TRAINING SESSIONS, AND CO-PUBLISHING OPPORTUNITIES. LOCAL GRANT AMOUNTS ARE DETERMINED BASED ON EACH REPORTER'S ANNUAL SALARY AND A STANDARD BENEFITS PERCENT ALLOCATION, AND AMOUNTS ARE AGREED TO IN WRITING BY BOTH THE PARTICIPATING NEWSROOM AND PROPUBLICA. FUND USAGE IS MONITORED BY THE PROPUBLICA EDITORS WHO OVERSEE THE PROGRAMS AND WORK DIRECTLY WITH THE REPORTERS AND NEWSROOMS. ULTIMATELY, LOCAL GRANTEE REPORTERS ARE EXPECTED TO PUBLISH INVESTIGATIVE PIECES IN COORDINATION WITH PROPUBLICA. ALSO, PARTICIPATING ORGANIZATIONS MUST PROVIDE A WRITTEN ACCOUNTING FOR FUNDS USAGE AT THE END OF THE GRANT PERIOD, WHICH MOST OFTEN INCLUDES A COPY OF THE FUNDED REPORTER'S W2 FOR THE FUNDED GRANT YEAR. | ExplanationTxt |

| FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 11B | PRO PUBLICA HAS ITS FORM 990 PREPARED BY AN OUTSIDE ACCOUNTING FIRM AND HAS ESTABLISHED THE FOLLOWING REVIEW PROCESS TO ENSURE THAT THE INFORMATION REPORTED IS COMPLETE AND ACCURATE. WHEN THE FORM 990 HAS BEEN PREPARED, REVIEWED BY THE PRESIDENT AND CHIEF FINANCIAL & ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER AND IS READY TO BE FILED WITH THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE, IT IS SUBMITTED ELECTRONICALLY TO ALL MEMBERS OF PRO PUBLICA'S GOVERNING BODY FOR ANY COMMENTS PRIOR TO ITS SUBMISSION. THE GOVERNING BODY IS PROVIDED WITH AT LEAST ONE WEEK TO REVIEW THE PREPARED FORM 990 AND PROVIDE THEIR COMMENTS. ANY COMMENTS ARE THEN GROUPED, SUMMARIZED AND PROVIDED TO THE AUDIT COMMITTEE FOR THEIR REVIEW. EACH ISSUE IS DOCUMENTED AND ADDRESSED UNTIL THE RETURN IS FINALIZED AND APPROVED FOR FILING. |
| FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 12C | PRO PUBLICA HAS A CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY, WHICH APPLIES TO ALL DIRECTORS (BOARD MEMBERS), OFFICERS, AND EMPLOYEES. EMPLOYEES RECEIVE THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY AT HIRE AS A PART OF THE EMPLOYEE HANDBOOK, FOR WHICH EMPLOYEES MUST ACKNOWLEDGE RECEIPT IN WRITING. EMPLOYEES, THEREFORE, RECEIVE THE POLICY AND ACKNOWLEDGE RECEIPT EACH TIME THE EMPLOYEE HANDBOOK IS REVISED. THE POLICY IS PROVIDED TO NEW DIRECTORS AS A PART OF ONBOARDING PROCEDURES.

COMPENSATION ADJUSTMENTS ARE APPROVED BY THE BOARD, AND APPROVED SALARY CHANGES ARE DOCUMENTED IN HUMAN RESOURCES FILES AND REQUIRE THE SIGNATURE OF BOTH THE EMPLOYEE AND THE HR DIRECTOR. THE BOARD'S CONSIDERATION OF THIS MATTER IS ALSO DOCUMENTED IN THE MINUTES OF THE EXECUTIVE SESSION. THIS PROCESS WAS LAST COMPLETED IN 2023.
