“The minnesota farmers union (mfu) foundation established in 1958, advances the mission of minnesota farmers union by promoting education, leadership development, climate-resilient farming, and local food system strength. Through programming that spans youth engagement, cooperative education, infrastructure investment, and climate innovation, the foundation supports farmers, consumers, and communities across minnesota. The foundation has expanded agricultural literacy and public understanding of cooperative principles through publications, community events, and initiatives like minnesota cooks, which connects local farmers and chefs while showcasing minnesota-grown food in its annual calendar. To strengthen local food systems, mfu created the minnesota foodshed platform to connect producers and buyers and partnered with ridgewater and central lakes colleges to establish meat cutting & butchery programs. Ongoing efforts to develop a usda-inspected regional meat processing facility in staples, mn aims to improve access and keep more value in rural communities. Mfu's climate & working lands program helps farmers adapt to and mitigate climate change through innovation and collaboration. Initiatives include a green ammonia pilot converting wind energy into low-carbon fertilizer, the co-ops for climate grant program supporting farmer-led climate initiatives, and the minnesota working group for climate-smart commodities. The foundation also provides practical resources such as the farmers' guides to carbon markets and solar and wind energy, and partners with universities and agencies to expand access to clean energy and sustainable practices. For over eight decades, mfu's leadership camp program has empowered youth ages 8-18 with cooperative education, leadership skills, and agricultural awareness, preparing the next generation of community leaders. Across all its initiatives-from education and processing infrastructure to climate action-the mfu foundation continues to build a fairer, more resilient agricultural economy that empowers farmers, engages youth, and sustains minnesota's rural communities.”

“Minnesota farmers union and farmers union foundation are organized as minnesota nonprofit corporations and have been recognized by the irs as exempt from federal income taxes under irc section 501(a) as organizations described in irc section 501(c)(5) - minnesota farmers union and irc section 501(c)(3) - farmers union foundation. Each entity is annually required to file a return of organization exempt from income tax (form 990) with the irs. In addition, the entities are subject to income tax on net income that is derived from business activities that are unrelated to their exempt purposes. Minnesota farmers union files an exempt organization business income tax return (form 990-t) with the irs to report its unrelated business taxable income. Farmers union foundation determined that it is not subject to unrelated business income tax and has not filed an exempt organization business income tax return (form 990-t) with the irs. Minnesota farmers union service corporation is organized as a minnesota business corporation. Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities, and their respective tax-basis carrying amounts. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period in which the enactment date occurs. The determination of current and deferred income taxes is a critical accounting estimate which is based on complex analyses of many factors including interpretation of federal and state income tax laws; the evaluation of uncertain tax positions; differences between the tax and financial reporting bases of assets and liabilities (temporary differences); estimates of amounts due or owed, such as the timing of reversal of temporary differences; and current financial accounting standards. Additionally, there can be no assurance that estimates and interpretations used in determining income tax liabilities will not be challenged by federal and state taxing authorities. Actual results could differ significantly from the estimates and tax law interpretations used in determining the current and deferred income tax liabilities.”

| IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 0 | MINNESOTA FARMERS UNION AND FARMERS UNION FOUNDATION ARE ORGANIZED AS MINNESOTA NONPROFIT CORPORATIONS AND HAVE BEEN RECOGNIZED BY THE IRS AS EXEMPT FROM FEDERAL INCOME TAXES UNDER IRC SECTION 501(A) AS ORGANIZATIONS DESCRIBED IN IRC SECTION 501(C)(5) - MINNESOTA FARMERS UNION AND IRC SECTION 501(C)(3) - FARMERS UNION FOUNDATION. EACH ENTITY IS ANNUALLY REQUIRED TO FILE A RETURN OF ORGANIZATION EXEMPT FROM INCOME TAX (FORM 990) WITH THE IRS. IN ADDITION, THE ENTITIES ARE SUBJECT TO INCOME TAX ON NET INCOME THAT IS DERIVED FROM BUSINESS ACTIVITIES THAT ARE UNRELATED TO THEIR EXEMPT PURPOSES. MINNESOTA FARMERS UNION FILES AN EXEMPT ORGANIZATION BUSINESS INCOME TAX RETURN (FORM 990-T) WITH THE IRS TO REPORT ITS UNRELATED BUSINESS TAXABLE INCOME. FARMERS UNION FOUNDATION DETERMINED THAT IT IS NOT SUBJECT TO UNRELATED BUSINESS INCOME TAX AND HAS NOT FILED AN EXEMPT ORGANIZATION BUSINESS INCOME TAX RETURN (FORM 990-T) WITH THE IRS. MINNESOTA FARMERS UNION SERVICE CORPORATION IS ORGANIZED AS A MINNESOTA BUSINESS CORPORATION. INCOME TAXES ARE ACCOUNTED FOR USING THE ASSET AND LIABILITY METHOD. UNDER THIS METHOD, DEFERRED TAX ASSETS AND LIABILITIES ARE RECOGNIZED FOR THE FUTURE TAX CONSEQUENCES ATTRIBUTABLE TO DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT CARRYING AMOUNTS OF EXISTING ASSETS AND LIABILITIES, AND THEIR RESPECTIVE TAX-BASIS CARRYING AMOUNTS. DEFERRED TAX ASSETS AND LIABILITIES ARE MEASURED USING ENACTED TAX RATES EXPECTED TO APPLY TO TAXABLE INCOME IN THE YEARS IN WHICH THOSE TEMPORARY DIFFERENCES ARE EXPECTED TO BE RECOVERED OR SETTLED. THE EFFECT ON DEFERRED TAX ASSETS AND LIABILITIES OF A CHANGE IN TAX RATES IS RECOGNIZED IN INCOME IN THE PERIOD IN WHICH THE ENACTMENT DATE OCCURS. THE DETERMINATION OF CURRENT AND DEFERRED INCOME TAXES IS A CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATE WHICH IS BASED ON COMPLEX ANALYSES OF MANY FACTORS INCLUDING INTERPRETATION OF FEDERAL AND STATE INCOME TAX LAWS; THE EVALUATION OF UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS; DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE TAX AND FINANCIAL REPORTING BASES OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES (TEMPORARY DIFFERENCES); ESTIMATES OF AMOUNTS DUE OR OWED, SUCH AS THE TIMING OF REVERSAL OF TEMPORARY DIFFERENCES; AND CURRENT FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS. ADDITIONALLY, THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCE THAT ESTIMATES AND INTERPRETATIONS USED IN DETERMINING INCOME TAX LIABILITIES WILL NOT BE CHALLENGED BY FEDERAL AND STATE TAXING AUTHORITIES. ACTUAL RESULTS COULD DIFFER SIGNIFICANTLY FROM THE ESTIMATES AND TAX LAW INTERPRETATIONS USED IN DETERMINING THE CURRENT AND DEFERRED INCOME TAX LIABILITIES. |
