“All officers of mfa are emailed an electronic copy of the form 990 with its related statements and schedules prior to submitting it to the irs. Their comments and questions regarding the form 990 are encouraged.”
“If an issue is to be decided by the board that involves potential conflict of interest for a board member, it is the responsibility of the board member to: 1. Identify the potential conflict of interest. 2. Not participate in discussion of the program or motion being considered. 3. Not vote on the issue. It is the responsibility of the board to: 1. Only decide to hire or contract with the board member if they are the best qualified individuals available and willing to provide the goods or services needed at the best price. 2. Record in the minutes of the board meeting the potential conflict of interest.”
“The president was not compensated. Compensation for officers is made by the impartial decision makers of the governing body, and includes analyzing the compensation of similar positions at comparable organizations.”
“To the extent governing documents (articles of incorporation, bylaws, and constitution), conflict of interest policy and financial statements of our organization are subject to the federal or state public disclosure rules, these documents will be made publicly available as applicable law may require. Otherwise, the governing documents and conflict of interest policy will be provided to the public at the discretion of management.”
“For 2017, there were no board committees, but the full board took responsibility for overseeing the financial statement audit and selection of the independent accountant.”
“The organization is exempt from federal income taxes under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code and state income taxes under the related california code sections. The organization believes that it has appropriate support for any tax positions taken, and as such, does not have any uncertain tax positions that are material to the financial statements.”

| IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc | 0 | INVESTIGATIONS - MFA RELEASED SEVEN HARD-HITTING UNDERCOVER INVESTIGATIONS IN FOUR COUNTRIES. IN THE U.S., WE REVEALED MOTHER PIGS CRAMMED INTO TINY CAGES AT A FACTORY FARM THAT SUPPLIES TO HORMEL, ONE OF THE LARGEST PORK PRODUCERS IN THE COUNTRY. WE EXPOSED THE HEARTBREAKING, SYSTEMIC CRUELTY ENDURED BY COWS RAISED FOR DAIRY WHEN THEIR BABIES ARE RIPPED AWAY SHORTLY AFTER BIRTH. CANADIANS WERE OUTRAGED WHEN OUR EXPOS OF ELITE FARM SERVICES, A COMPANY LINKED TO LILYDALE/SOFINA FOODS, UNCOVERED SHOCKING ANIMAL ABUSE, INCLUDING MANAGEMENT STANDING BY WHILE WORKERS KICKED AND THREW CHICKENS. IN BRAZIL, WE RELEASED OUR FIRST TWO INVESTIGATIONS, ONE OF A BATTERY EGG FARM LINKED TO RETAIL GIANT WALMART AND THE OTHER OF A HOG FARM LINKED TO GPA THAT IMPRISONED MOTHER PIGS IN TINY CAGES. IN MEXICO, WE CONTINUED OUR GROUNDBREAKING WORK, RELEASING TWO SLAUGHTER INVESTIGATIONS THAT URGED LEGISLATORS TO ENACT LAWS THAT WOULD CRIMINALIZE SLAUGHTERING ANIMALS WITHOUT FIRST RENDERING THEM UNCONSCIOUS. MFA'S FIVE DRONE EXPOSES OF PIG, EGG, AND DAIRY FACTORY FARMS AND SLAUGHTERHOUSES REVEALED THE DEVASTATING IMPACT OF ANIMAL AGRICULTURE. OUR VIDEO, "DRONES EXPOSE MILK INDUSTRY SECRETS," HAS SURPASSED 16 MILLION FACEBOOK VIEWS. BY PROVIDING A UNIQUE AND NON-GRAPHIC PERSPECTIVE OF THE MASSIVE SCALE OF FACTORY FARMING OPERATIONS, THESE INVESTIGATIONS HELP US REACH MORE PEOPLE AND NEW DEMOGRAPHICS, INSPIRING CONSUMERS TO BE AWARE OF HOW THEIR FOOD IS PRODUCED. |
