DescProgram service accomplishment #1 Investigative ReportingThreats to Democracy:Mother Jones was the first national outlet to report on voter suppression regularly and deeply, exploring how the push for minority rule may be the greatest threat to our democracy. We are seeing critical stories playing out at the state and local level, where our team has built expertise. In Arizona, we reported on the slate of election deniers who nearly captured the states top offices, and on the regular citizens who worked tirelessly to stop them. In Georgia and Pennsylvania, we explored how voter intimidation and disinformation, and election denial shaped the midterms. And in Galveston County, Texas, we reported on how political operatives were working to ensure there would be no representation by people of (Continued on Schedule O)Desc

DescCorruption:During this fiscal year, we devoted significant journalistic resources to exploring how shadowy wealth distorts public policy, most potently in our recent package How Private Equity Looted America. In it, we explored how private equity has become one of the most powerful hidden forces in our economy, touching nearly every sector of our lives, but is barely covered outside the business pages. We set out to change that, rallying the newsroom to produce a formidable online and print package of 15 stories, including in-depth features, first-person accounts, and a video investigating the fleecing of the American economy. The package galvanized activists, led to media appearances, and received an honorable mention from the Association of Business Journalists. (Continued on Schedule O)Desc

DescProgram service accomplishment #2 Fellowship ProgramSince 1980, Mother Jones has placed an emphasis on creating opportunities for aspiring journalists through the Ben Bagdikian Fellowship Program. While there are a number of general journalism and reporting internships available for students or recent college graduates, only Mother Jones puts such an emphasis on investigative reporting. Among the largest training programs in the independent media community, the Ben Bagdikian Fellowship Program gives aspiring journalists intensive training in what it takes to publish outstanding, independent journalism, to meet deadlines, and to work as part of a professional team. It is a rare opportunity for new journalists to work alongside some of the top reporters and journalists in the business, and to learn the inner workings of multimedia (Continued on Schedule O)Desc

DescProgram service accomplishment #1 Investigative Reporting(continued from Form 990 Page 2)in a county that is 45 percent non-white. Corruption: During this fiscal year, we devoted significant journalistic resources to exploring how shadowy wealth distorts public policy, most potently in our recent package How Private Equity Looted America. In it, we explored how private equity has become one of the most powerful hidden forces in our economy, touching nearly every sector of our lives, but is barely covered outside the business pages. We set out to change that, rallying the newsroom to produce a formidable online and print package of 15 stories, including in-depth features, first-person accounts, and a video investigating the fleecing of the American economy. The package galvanized activists, led to media appearances, and received an honorable mention from the Association of Business Journalists. Gender Justice and Reproductive Rights: For as long as abortion rights have been at risk, Mother Jones has covered this story deeply. When other newsrooms dismissed the possibility of a post-Roe future, we turned a clear-eyed gaze to the issue and showed how conservatives were stripping away a womans right to choose her own reproductive path. After the Supreme Courts Dobbs decision in 2022, our reporters went to work covering the story from every angle to ensure this crushing blow to reproductive rights did not go unanswered. We delivered haunting dispatches from Southern abortion clinics facing the aftermath of the ruling, which provided a window into the immediate disruptions and despair. We also provided historical context on how the Supreme Court arrived at this moment. Stories on this beat routinely capture the attention of audiences outside our regular followers, bringing new readers to our work. Climate Crisis: Environmental reporting has always been a core concern for Mother Jones, and in fiscal year 2023, our team is turned its gaze to a project we call the Great Decarbonization. We launched the opening salvo in our reporting on this topic with our Electrify Everything package. The reporting strikes straight to the heart of the tendency towards no, calling for a YIMBY movement to help save our planet by building the infrastructure we need: factories, mines, denser housing. Its a manifesto for this moment and an important call to action for both friends and foes.Desc

Part V, Line 4: Intended uses of the endowment fund.The Sustainability Fund was created by donors as a temporarily restricted endowment to provide financial support for the programmatic activities of Mother Jones and is guided by the wishes of the donors with oversight by the organization's Board of Directors.
Part X : FIN48 FootnoteIncome Taxes The Center is exempt from income tax under IRC section 501(c)(3), though it is subject to tax on income unrelated to its exempt purpose, unless that income is otherwise excluded by the Code. The Center has processes presently in place to ensure the maintenance of its tax-exempt status; to identify and report unrelated income; to determine its filing and tax obligations in jurisdictions for which it has nexus; and to identify and evaluate other matters that may be considered tax positions. The Center has determined that there are no material uncertain tax positions that require recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.The Center has received notification from the Internal Revenue Service and the State of California that it qualifies for tax-exempt status under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and Section 23701d of the California Revenue and Taxation Code. The exemptions are subject to periodic review by the federal and state taxing authorities and management is confident that the Center continues to satisfy all federal and state statutes in order to qualify for continued tax exemption status. The Center may periodically receive unrelated business income which requires the filing of separate tax returns under federal and state statutes. Under such conditions, the Center calculates and remits the applicable taxes.
