Supplemental Narrative

Financial Statement Notes

Part X : FIN48 Footnote

“The organization is a nonprofit corporation exempt from federal income tax under Internal Revenue Code Section 501c3 and state income tax under equivalent statutes, except on unrelated business income. Therefore, these financial statements contain no provision for such taxes. Informational returns are filed annually with federal and state taxing authorities. The organization is not aware of any transactions that would affect its tax-exempt status. 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. The organization had no unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2022.”

IRS990/Desc0In 2023, Floodlight continued collaborations with numerous news organizations, including national outlets such as The Guardian, NPR, and Grist, as well as local partners like the Los Angeles Times, Orlando Sentinel, Texas Tribune, and Louisiana Illuminator. Floodlight's investigative and accountability-focused news stories contributed to a cumulative viewership of over 4 million since the organization's initial launch. Notably, Floodlight's reporting led to significant policy changes and corporate accountability. For instance, following their collaboration with the Los Angeles Times, port authorities implemented pollution fees for natural gas trucks. Additionally, their investigative work with NPR, which exposed unethical practices by power company consultants, resulted in the resignation of two power company CEOs and was recognized as a finalist for Harvard University's prestigious Goldsmith Prize for Investigative Reporting.
