Supplemental Narrative

Financial Statement Notes

Part X : FIN48 Footnote

“The Organization is exempt from Federal and state income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Federal Form 990 Return of Organization Exempt from Income Tax, is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service, generally for the three years after it is filed. The Organization complies with the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) ASC Topic 740, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, which addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Management evaluated the Organization?s tax positions and concluded that the Organization had taken no uncertain tax positions that require adjustment to the financial statements to comply with the provisions of this guidance. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, no unrecognized tax provision or benefit exists in the accompanying financial statements.”

IRS990/Desc0In 2024, Floodlight continued its investigative and accountability-focused journalism, with a staff of eight producing a record amount of coverage. The organization revealed a secret network blocking renewable power, tracked how campaign cash is slowing the energy transition, and reported from fenceline communities fighting against pollution. Floodlight's work contributed to significant audience growth, with a substantial increase in newsletter subscribers. In April 2024, the organization shifted its distribution model to broaden its reach and launched a new website designed to showcase its stories uncovering the forces stalling climate action and to facilitate republication of its work by newsrooms. Floodlight maintained collaborations with numerous news organizations, including national outlets such as The Guardian, NPR, and Grist, as well as local partners, continuing its mission to provide investigative reporting on environmental and climate issues.
