WE CONTINUED OUR CAMPAIGN TO END THE BRUTAL PRACTICE OF WAREHOUSING YOUTH IN UNSAFE INSTITUTIONS. WE MADE INROADS IN OUR NATIONAL MOVEMENT TO STOP THE UNNECESSARY AND DISPROPORTIONATE SEPARATION OF BLACK FAMILIES AND THOSE LIVING IN POVERTY. AND WE DEFENDED THE LEGAL AND HUMAN RIGHTS OF IMMIGRANT CHILDREN. ADDRESSING THE CHILD MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS WE SUED MARYLAND FOR FAILING TO OVERSEE THE ADMINISTRATION OF PSYCHOTROPIC MEDICATIONS TO CHILDREN IN THE FOSTER SYSTEM, WHERE THEY ARE OFTEN SEDATED INSTEAD OF RECEIVING THE MENTAL HEALTH CARE THEY NEED. WE REACHED AN INTERIM AGREEMENT REQUIRING IOWA TO PROVIDE INTENSIVE HOME AND COMMUNITY-BASED MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES TO SUPPORT THE MENTAL HEALTH NEEDS OF MEDICAID ELIGIBLE CHILDREN. ENDING THE INSTITUTIONALIZATION OF CHILDREN WE FILED A CASE AGAINST NORTH CAROLINA FOR ITS PERVASIVE PRACTICE OF UNNECESSARILY PLACING CHILDREN WITH MENTAL AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH NEEDS IN DANGEROUS PSYCHIATRIC INSTITUTIONS. IN NEW YORK, WE ARE BUILDING A YOUTH-LED COALITION OF LIVED EXPERTS TO CALL ON STATE LEGISLATORS TO STOP INSTITUTIONALIZING KIDS AND INSTEAD STRENGTHEN ACCESS TO COMMUNITY SERVICES. FIGHTING FOR FAMILY INTEGRITY THROUGH FEDERAL AND STATE HEARINGS AND NATIONAL EDUCATION CAMPAIGNS, WE ADVOCATED AGAINST FAMILY REPORTING MANDATES THAT SEPARATE FAMILIES, OVERBURDEN SYSTEMS AND HURT KIDS. WE'RE REPRESENTING OLDER YOUTH IN LOS ANGELES, INCLUDING YOUNG PARENTS, WHO ARE TAKING A BOLD STAND TO DISRUPT THE PIPELINE THAT FUNNELS THOUSANDS OF YOUNG ADULTS FROM THE FOSTER SYSTEM TO HOMELESSNESS. WE SECURED THE SUPPORT OF THE UN IN CALLING ON THE U.S. TO UPHOLD ITS COMMITMENT TO FAMILY INTEGRITY AND ADOPT MEASURES TO REDUCE UNNECESSARY, POVERTY-RELATED CHILD REMOVALS. WITH A COALITION OF ADVOCATES, WE HELPED SHAPE NEW U.S. RULES THAT GIVE KIN FOSTER PARENTS EQUITABLE SUPPORT TO CARE FOR CHILDREN. PROTECTING THE RIGHTS OF IMMIGRANT YOUTH AS ONE OF ONLY THREE ORGANIZATIONS WITH THE AUTHORITY TO SPEAK DIRECTLY WITH CHILDREN DETAINED IN FEDERAL IMMIGRATION FACILITIES, WE HELD THE GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABLE FOR PROTECTING THEIR RIGHTS AND WELLBEING. WE FILED A LAWSUIT IN TENNESSEE TO DEFEND THE RIGHTS OF IMMIGRANT CHILDREN IN THE FOSTER SYSTEM, PUTTING THEM ON A PATHWAY TO PERMANENT LEGAL STATUS AND THE CHANCE FOR A BETTER LIFE. 5996551 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 17 0 1 60 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 16 16 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 AL AK AZ AS CA CT DE DC FL GA HI ID IL IN IA KS KY LA ME MD ME MI MN MS MO MT NE NV NH NJ NM NY NC ND OH OK OR PW RI SC SD TN TX UT VT VA WA WV WI WY X MARJORIE MCANDREWS 2126832210 88 PINE STREET SUITE 800 NEW YORK NY 10005 DAN GALPERN CHAIR 3.00 X X 0 0 0 LEWIS TEPPER VICE CHAIR/TREAS 1.50 X X 0 0 0 BETHANY PRISTAW SECRETARY (THRU 5/8/23) 1.50 X X 0 0 0 ANNE ROBINSON DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 LEIGH FARRIS DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 ALAN C MYERS DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 LAWANNA KIMBRO DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 ELIZABETH KORCHIN DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 MEGAN SHATTUCK DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 KASSEEM DEAN DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 MOLLY GOCHMAN DIRECTOR (THRU 12/23) 1.00 X 0 0 0 JOHN NEUKOM DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 STEVE WANNER DIRECTOR (THRU 12/23) 1.00 X 0 0 0 PETER D SERATING DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 JAMES STANTON DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 CHIARA TRENTO MAI DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 JAY GALLUZZO DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 BOBBI TAYLOR DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 ZACHARY BURKE DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 SANDY SANTANA PRES./EXEC.DIR. 35.00 X 243579 0 29728 MARJORIE MCANDREWS CFO 30.00 X 186474 0 6576 DARLENE LARSEN CHIEF DEV OFF THRU 11/23 35.00 X 239835 0 20550 IRA LUSTBADER CPO 35.00 X 223430 0 29084 HARRY FRISCHER CHIEF COUNSEL 35.00 X 202128 0 21560 SAMANTHA BARTOSZ DEP LITIGATION DIR 35.00 X 195556 0 14968 LEECIA WELCH DEP LITIGATION DIR 35.00 X 186435 0 9373 1477437 0 131839 16 0 1 0 BERLIN ROSEN LTD 15 MAIDEN LANE SUITE 1600 NEW YORK NY 10038 CONSULTANT MEDIA RELATIONS 146000 COMMUNITY IMPACT ADVISORS 185 HALL STREET BROOKLYN NY 11205 CONSULTANT POLICY SPECIALIST 120000 2 955134 790697 3616993 30000 5362824 ATTORNEYS' FEES 900099 860706 860706 860706 340253 340253 277222 325002 -47780 -47780 -47780 60210 955134 60210 0 MISCELLANEOUS 900099 3673 3673 3673 6519676 860706 0 296146 460391 186535 184420 89436 4357187 3538984 226580 591623 125235 101898 6838 16499 612810 481830 47923 83057 365142 283224 30612 51306 150764 150764 331100 290850 40250 68433 39915 16862 11656 571597 491674 51379 28544 175924 166478 1768 7678 40953 31943 4505 4505 36399 13136 23263 COMPUTER SUPPORT AND MA 211492 130383 21305 59804 LITIGATION COSTS 136769 136769 LICENSES AND FEES 130341 10657 98927 20757 RESEARCH AND LEGAL LIBR 84142 83371 771 80284 8904 110 71270 7938963 5996551 755513 1186899 142034 40215 3196873 841688 1112195 2207831 50044 296522 44558 61610 509181 405738 97138 103443 9269905 9845137 1993700 1528738 15906447 14925184 359129 415984 1954793 1454770 2313922 1870754 X 11849710 10369792 1742815 2684638 13592525 13054430 15906447 14925184 -1419287 881192 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 2791693 5146305 3854100 4088962 5332824 21213884 2791693 5146305 3854100 4088962 5332824 21213884 2389306 18824578 27463 8227 5956 251678 340253 633577 8680 1194 1048 55 3673 14650 21862111 22340522 0.86110 0.85310 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 104539 76365 28174 374642 329373 45269 30000 30000 103443 SECURITY DEPOSIT 170385 OPERATING LEASES -RIGHT OF USE ASSET 1358353 1528738 OPERATING LEASE LIABILITIES 1454770 1454770 X 7413343 881192 12475 893667 6519676 0 6519676 7951438 12475 12475 7938963 0 7938963 PART X, LINE 2: THE ORGANIZATION DOES NOT BELIEVE ITS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS INCLUDE ANY MATERIAL, UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS.
