The Iowa Center for Public Affairs Journalism, which runs [IowaWatch.org](https://investigatemidwest.org/?ref=investigatemidwest.org), has filed its 990 tax return for 2016\. The return shows how the nonprofit center earned and spent money in the past calendar year.

The center, founded in February 2010, spent $151,008, while raising $152,307 in 2016\. The center received a boost at the end of the year when donors responded to the center’s inclusion in a Knight News Match fund drive.
