Summary
Activities & Governance 1 Briefly describe the organization’s mission or most significant activities: In FY 2022, food banks supported by GFN recovered over 692M kilos of food and grocery products and re-directed this surplus to approximately 39 million persons facing hunger. Half of people served by GFN member food banks were women and girls; approximately 34% were children ages 0-17 years. GFN supported member food banks as they served as true frontline emergency responders to COVID-19, facing surging demand for food, pivoting distribution models amid pandemic-spurred supply chain disruptions, and recent food price spikes and the cost-of-living crisis. The Global FoodBanking Network comprises 49 food banking organizations across 44 countries, based primarily in emerging and development markets across Latin America, South and Southeast Asia, and Sub-Saharan Africa, working through networks of more than 59K local community service agencies, and supported by nearly 317K volunteers.

CAPACITY BUILDING: In FY 2022, GFN's capacity building focused on essential technical and financial support to member food banks during the second year of the COVID-19 pandemic and confluence of global crises. GFN supported member food banks who addressed a second consecutive year of historically high rates of service delivery, providing food assistance to 39 million people, including 17.5 million children, across 44 countries, representing a 132% increase over pre-pandemic (2019) levels. An estimated 45% of people served accessed food bank services for the first time, reflecting the continued economic toll of the pandemic on millions of vulnerable people. GFN's data-driven approach accentuated by focused-field assistance, deployment of various technical assistance strategies and interventions, and strategic grants enabled members to sustain two consecutive years of heightened need of services. In FY 2022, GFN support included an estimated 26,000 hours in technical assistance and consultancy to expand the service delivery capabilities of food bank members. Technical assistance combined with GFN financial support and programmatic investments in FY 2022, included $8.87 million in grants disbursed to support of member capacity building (57%), emergency assistance (26%), and child hunger/school feeding support 9%. Review of the efficacy of GFN's financial support to members found that 96% of award objectives were met over the grant period. In FY 2022, GFN piloted new programming activities to support members' continuous improvement in operations and service delivery capabilities. Pilot programs included food safety, public policy, knowledge sharing, and food recovery technology. Pilot programming included independent, third-party certification by AIB applied in three Latin American countries in the areas of food safety, food quality management, and process optimization to the highest international standard for commercial food-grade facilities. GFN along with member food banks in sub-Saharan Africa, the NGO FoodCloud, and the Irish government's development agency, began feasibility testing of a food recovery technology application.
4b (Code:   ) (Expenses $ 522,143 including grants of $ 0 ) (Revenue $ 15,718 )
NEW FOOD BANK DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM: FY 2022 was the first full year of the New Food Bank Development Program (NFBD), created for the identification, recruitment, and training of potential new food bank partners in high need communities where food banks do not exist or nascent in development. NFBD prioritizes the recruitment of new food banks in communities with persistently high prevalence rates of hunger or food insecurity (15% or more) and where the food bank model does not exist or is nascent in development. GFN's NFBD programming includes research and identification of potential food bank or similar community-based human services partners. Organizational leaders participate in virtual/webinar introduction to the food bank model, leading to a food bank assessment and planning protocol, dissemination of food bank operations toolkits, one-to-one consultation with program experts, and GFN's own assessment of organizational potential through in-field and remote determinations.
4c (Code:   ) (Expenses $ 493,425 including grants of $ 0 ) (Revenue $ 0 )
THOUGHT LEADERSHIP: GFN's thought leadership aims to support member food banks through research and evidence-based promotion of the food bank model in improving food security, humanitarian response, and food loss and waste (FLW) mitigation. GFN's thought leadership activity included the fourth in a series of research studies that documents the food bank movement across the world, the State of Global Food Banking, with the collaboration from the European Federation of Food Banks and Feeding America (USA). In FY 2022, GFN also released the finding of the annual Network Activity Report (CY 2021) and the impact of food banks in response to the second year of the COVID-pandemic. New, original research included phase 2 of the Global Food Donation Policy Atlas with the Harvard Law FLPC. GFN and the FLPC released four subject specific research briefs on date labeling, liability protection, tax policy and incentives, and emergency humanitarian relief in the Promoting Food Donation series, identifying key issues, policies, and best practices. GFN and the FLPC collaborated in phase 2 of the Atlas project research with food donation policy framework research undertaken in eight countries. The cumulative effect of GFN's evidence-based thought leadership in FY 2022, led to affirmation of the food bank model in various spheres of influence. The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations endorsed the essential role of food banks in response to the on-going COVID pandemic. The UN Food Systems Summit included food banking as a key mechanism for reduction in FLW, and GFN's work with the FLPC in food donation policy has been endorsed by the UN Environmental Programme, academics, and policy maker engagements in ten countries. Acknowledgement of the credibility of GFN's thought leadership role in FY 2022 is most notable in GFN's participation and engagement in the UN Global Crisis Response Group (UN-GCRG). Convened by the United Nation's Secretary General, the UN-GCRG is an invitation-only assemblage of leading public and private sector institutions brought together to provide up-to-date, highly informed, unfiltered weekly situation reports on a country-by-country basis.
(Code:   ) (Expenses $ 342,572 including grants of $ 0 ) (Revenue $ 0 )
EDUCATION AND TRAINING: Central to GFN's programmatic model is education, knowledge sharing, and training made available across borders, cultures, contexts to aid food bank development. GFN's Food Bank Leadership Institute (FBLI) has an important element in education and training activity, becoming the world's foremost gathering of food banks and community-based food assistance leaders, convened for networking with external partners and experts, knowledge sharing, and education. With the onset of the COVID pandemic in FY 20 and continuing through FY 22, GFN opted for a series of "Virtual FBLI" sessions, webinars which are timely in content and make available distinguished leaders and experts, with engagement with GFN members through contemporaneous dialogues and Q & A. Throughout FY 2022, GFN conducted 14 webinars to a combined audience of 848 global attendees from over 70 countries. In FY 2022, GFN piloted a new programming activity known as knowledge networks. In Latin America and globally, it links peer-to-peer learning and external experts to specific food bank operational activities and food bank managers responsible for those functions, such as inventory management, logistics, warehouse operations and programs such as school feeding and community-service agency management.
(Code:   ) (Expenses $ 342,495 including grants of $ 0 ) (Revenue $ 0 )
FOOD BANK INCUBATOR PROGRAM: In FY 2022, GFN's Food Bank Incubator Program entered its second year of programming with food bank projects to accelerate food banking in nations of higher rates of food insecurity and underserved communities, with limited or no food bank presence. GFN's Incubator provides focused, accelerated programming for rapid organizational advancement, convening a small number of food bank founders/leaders on a regional basis, with FY 2020 -FY 2023 cohorts in South Asia/India (three members), Southeast Asia (seven members in six countries) and sub-Saharan Africa (six members/countries). In FY 2022, Incubator members saw high growth rates, with Sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia cohorts combined showing an 18% increase year-over-year in people served. Of the 10 largest service delivery by persons served in the GFN network overall, five of the top 10 are Southeast Asia and India Incubator food bank members. The Incubator member food bank cohorts (Africa and Asia) outpaced global network averages in service delivery, accounting for 33% of all people served by GFN member food banks in FY 2022.

Return Reference Explanation
Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 FIN 48 (ASC 740) footnote GFN has received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service indicating that it is a not-for-profit entity as described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") and is exempt from federal income taxes on related income pursuant to Section 501(a) of the IRC, except for taxes pertaining to unrelated business income. GFN follows guidance with respect to accounting for uncertain tax positions. No provision has been made for income taxes in the accompanying financial statements, as GFN has had no unrelated business income. Management believes GFN has no material unrecognized income tax matters, including any potential loss of its tax-exempt status. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been made in the financial statements. There were no income tax related interest or penalties recognized by GFN for the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. GFN has not been examined by any tax jurisdiction. GFN is no longer subject to examination by taxing authorities for the years before June 30, 2018. GFN recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest and income tax expense, respectively. GFN recognized and accrued no amounts for interest and penalties as of and for the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. GFN does not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to significantly change in the next 12 months.

ReturnReference Explanation
Schedule F, Part I, Line 2 Procedures for monitoring use of grant funds The Global FoodBanking Network (GFN) makes grants to individual food banks or national food bank networks for a variety of purposes. Most grants are aimed at helping the grantee expand operational or programmatic capacity/reach, and accordingly are awarded for the purchase of vehicles or equipment, hiring of staff, or acquisition or improvement of warehouse facilities. Grantees are selected based on a combination of factors, including: * specific needs identified by the potential grantee, * food insecurity and malnutrition levels in the grantee's country, * GFN's ability to raise the resources needed to fund those needs, * the conduct of business and legal due diligence to qualify the potential grantee in accordance with GFN, US legal, and donor criteria, and * the willingness of the grantee to execute a grant agreement that stipulates, among other things, the purpose of the grant, the restricted use(s) of the grant, and reporting requirements to facilitate monitoring. Before a grant is offered to a grantee, GFN conducts legal due diligence on the grantee, assuring that it is a legally established, charitable organization, in-good-standing in its country and has legal authority to enter into a binding grant agreement. GFN then negotiates a grant agreement with the grantee that addresses all relevant programmatic and legal requirements related to the grant. Finally, GFN screens the grantee, its governing board, its management, and key staff with authority to disburse grant funds, and the financial institution where the funds will be held against several Terrorist Watch Lists. Only after the agreement is signed and the screening process is positively completed will GFN transfer the funds to the grantee. The Grant Agreement is a legally binding contract, and it stipulates the timeline and content for periodic reports by the grantee to GFN on the use of the grant funds and their impact. A standard financial report template is incorporated in the grant agreement, and the content of narrative reports is also defined. Grant funds are typically required to be held in separate accounts established solely for these funds in order to facilitate auditing, if it should be necessary. If it is not possible to establish a separate account solely for grant funds, grantees are required to flag all transactions made with the grant funds with a unique identifier within their existing accounting system to facilitate auditing. Quarterly conference calls are held with all grantees to monitor project progress. Report due dates are tracked and follow-up on delinquent or missing reports is conducted as needed. Depending on the size and scope of the grant, as well as on certain donor requirements, GFN may visit the grantee to conduct relevant oversight activities.

Form 990, Part III, Line 4d Description of other program services (Expenses $ 342,572 including grants of $ 0)(Revenue $ 0) EDUCATION AND TRAINING: Central to GFN's programmatic model is education, knowledge sharing, and training made available across borders, cultures, contexts to aid food bank development. GFN's Food Bank Leadership Institute (FBLI) has an important element in education and training activity, becoming the world's foremost gathering of food banks and community-based food assistance leaders, convened for networking with external partners and experts, knowledge sharing, and education. With the onset of the COVID pandemic in FY 20 and continuing through FY 22, GFN opted for a series of "Virtual FBLI" sessions, webinars which are timely in content and make available distinguished leaders and experts, with engagement with GFN members through contemporaneous dialogues and Q & A. Throughout FY 2022, GFN conducted 14 webinars to a combined audience of 848 global attendees from over 70 countries. In FY 2022, GFN piloted a new programming activity known as knowledge networks. In Latin America and globally, it links peer-to-peer learning and external experts to specific food bank operational activities and food bank managers responsible for those functions, such as inventory management, logistics, warehouse operations and programs such as school feeding and community-service agency management.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4d Description of other program services (Expenses $ 342,495 including grants of $ 0)(Revenue $ 0) FOOD BANK INCUBATOR PROGRAM: In FY 2022, GFN's Food Bank Incubator Program entered its second year of programming with food bank projects to accelerate food banking in nations of higher rates of food insecurity and underserved communities, with limited or no food bank presence. GFN's Incubator provides focused, accelerated programming for rapid organizational advancement, convening a small number of food bank founders/leaders on a regional basis, with FY 2020 -FY 2023 cohorts in South Asia/India (three members), Southeast Asia (seven members in six countries) and sub-Saharan Africa (six members/countries). In FY 2022, Incubator members saw high growth rates, with Sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia cohorts combined showing an 18% increase year-over-year in people served. Of the 10 largest service delivery by persons served in the GFN network overall, five of the top 10 are Southeast Asia and India Incubator food bank members. The Incubator member food bank cohorts (Africa and Asia) outpaced global network averages in service delivery, accounting for 33% of all people served by GFN member food banks in FY 2022.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 1a Delegate broad authority to a committee Pursuant to the Corporation's Bylaws, its Board of Directors (BOD), which is its governing body, by duly adopted resolution, established a five-director Steering Committee consisting of those directors who are from time to time the Chairperson of the BOD, the Vice Chairperson of the BOD, and the chairpersons of each of the standing committees created by the Bylaws (the Governance, Audit and Finance Committees) together with the President/Chief Executive Officer (ex-officio and non-voting); provided that the existence of an unfilled vacancy shall not preclude the Steering Committee from acting at a meeting of the Steering Committee or by informal action. Under the Corporation's Bylaws, the Steering Committee shall have and exercise the authority of the BOD in the management of the Corporation (including, without limitation, the authority to deal with all matters involving conflicts of interest under Article XV of the Bylaws) between regular meetings of the BOD except with respect to acts and matters expressly reserved to the BOD itself by Section 108.40 of the Illinois General Not for Profit Corporation Act or any provision of the Bylaws and except with respect to any functions or authority specifically delegated to another committee by resolution of the BODs adopted by a majority of the directors in office. The Steering Committee shall have such further responsibilities as the Board of Directors may assign to it from time to time.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 4 Significant changes to organizational documents The organization's BYLAWS WERE amended during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 to change the number of the governing body's voting members. As described in these amended Bylaws, the number of directors shall be no less than thirteen (13) and no more than seventeen (17).
Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b Review of form 990 by governing body A draft of this Form 990 was initially prepared by the Corporation's Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), in consultation with the Corporation's outside tax preparation firm (selected by the BOD upon the recommendation of its Audit Committee). The draft was then reviewed by the corporation's outside tax preparation firm, which in consultation with the CFO made such revisions to the draft as it considered appropriate, and the draft resulting from that review was circulated to the Corporation's management team, the Corporation's General Counsel, and the Audit Committee. Their comments were then considered by the CFO and reflected in a revised draft as the CFO, in consultation with the Corporation's outside tax preparation firm, considered appropriate. A draft resulting from this process was then discussed by the Audit Committee at a meeting held on September 29, 2022 also attended by the CFO, representatives from the Corporation's outside tax preparation firm and legal counsel. The Audit Committee approved that draft for submission to the BOD. The draft was provided to all the members of the BOD in advance of, and approved for filing at, a meeting of the BOD held on October 12, 2022.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 12c Conflict of interest policy The conflict of interest policy is distributed annually to the Corporation's directors, key employees and any corporate officers who are not key employees. They are required to disclose actual or potential conflicts of interest, and asked to sign an annual declaration and agree to bring to the BOD's attention any future situation not disclosed in the declaration. All BOD prospective candidates are required to complete a declaration prior to the BOD vote. The BOD or the Steering Committee has the power to consider potential conflict situations as they become aware of them and determine whether a conflict of interest exists. If the BOD has reasonable cause to believe a known or possible conflict of interest was not disclosed and after affording the person an opportunity to explain the alleged failure, is required to take appropriate disciplinary and corrective action.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 15a Process to establish compensation of top management official The Steering Committee (which consists of members of the BOD, none of whom is compensated for his or her service, and does not include any employees) reviews for reasonableness the current and proposed compensation of the CEO. The proposed compensation is based on market data and is in alignment with GFN's executive compensation philosophy, which was approved in summer 2021. The BOD meets in executive session and reviews the CEO salary recommended by the Steering Committee. In carrying out these functions, the Steering Committee used the executive compensation review carried out by an external consulting firm in January 2021. This study compared GFN's CEO's compensation to other CEOs within nonprofit organizations comparable to GFN in terms of size (revenues and FTEs) and/or industry. Data was sourced from published survey sources and the most recently filed IRS Forms 990 of identified peer organizations. The deliberations of both the Steering Committee and BOD are contemporaneously documented in the meeting minutes.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 15b Process to establish compensation of other employees The process to establish compensation for the organization's CFO, VP Programs, VP Development, and VP Communications is the same process used to establish compensation for the CEO as described in the narrative to Form 990, Part VI, Line 15a.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 19 Required documents available to the public The corporation's audited financial statements are posted to its website annually. While the corporation does not post its governing documents or conflict of interest policy on its website, these documents are available upon request.
