IN MAY 2021, THE FHN HELD A MAJOR ONLINE GLOBAL EVENT TO LAUNCH ITS RESEARCH, "WOMEN'S HUMANITARIAN VOICES: COVID-19 THROUGH A FEMINIST LENS," LED BY FHN MEMBERS IN EIGHT COUNTRIES: NEPAL, BANGLADESH, PALESTINE, LEBANON, NIGERIA, LIBERIA, KENYA AND SOUTH AFRICA. THE EVENT WAS MODERATED BY ZAHRA VIENEUVE, FHN STEERING COMMITTEE MEMBER AND REPRESENTATIVE OF FHN MEMBER, GLOBAL FUND FOR WOMEN. FOLLOWING THE LAUNCH EVENT, SEVERAL MEETINGS WITH KEY ADVOCACY TARGETS, PRIMARILY DONOR GOVERNMENTS, WERE ORGANIZED WITH THE SUPPORT OF FHN MEMBERS. THE FHN ALSO HOSTED TWO "ADVOCACY HUDDLES," WHICH BROUGHT TOGETHER ORGANIZATIONS WITH ALIGNED OBJECTIVES OR THOSE WHO HAD PRODUCED RESEARCH WITH SIMILAR FINDINGS DURING COVID-19, TO STRATEGIZE TOGETHER AND ESTABLISH AND STRENGTHEN ALLIANCES. 1414462 952000 0 FOOD AND AGRICULTURE: FURTHERING OUR DEMANDS TO INVEST IN FAMILY FARMS, WE SUPPORTED THE GLOBAL AGRICULTURE AND FOOD SECURITY PROGRAM (GAFSP) IN THEIR SIXTH CALL FOR PROPOSALS. FOLLOWING THE LAUNCH IN MAY 2021, THE GAFSP STEERING COMMITTEE APPROVED TWELVE PROJECTS FOR A TOTAL OF $30 MILLION IN DECEMBER, AND FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER, THESE PROJECTS ARE LED BY PRODUCER ORGANIZATIONS. NINE COUNTRY PROPOSALS WITH AN ALLOCATION OF $121 MILLION WERE ALSO APPROVED. THE NEW PROJECTS AIM TO SUPPORT COUNTRIES AND PRODUCERS' ORGANIZATIONS IN THEIR MEDIUM TO LONG-TERM COVID-19 RESPONSE EFFORTS FOR A MORE SUSTAINABLE, INCLUSIVE, AND RESILIENT RECOVERY OF AGRICULTURE AND FOOD SYSTEMS IN A CHANGING CLIMATE. WE ALSO JOINED A GLOBAL BOYCOTT OF THE UNITED NATIONS FOOD SYSTEMS SUMMIT. THE SUMMIT HAD BEEN TAKEN OVER BY CORPORATE INTERESTS AND FAILED TO INCLUDE VOICES OF THOSE WHO PRODUCE MOST OF THE WORLD'S FOOD, PARTICULARLY SMALL-SCALE FOOD PRODUCERS, INDIGENOUS COMMUNITIES, AND WOMEN IN THE GLOBAL SOUTH. IN PARTNERSHIP WITH ALLIED ORGANIZATIONS, WE MOBILIZED SUPPORTERS ON SOCIAL MEDIA TO SHARE OUR CONCERNS ABOUT THE CORPORATIZATION OF THE WORLD'S FOOD SYSTEM. WE ALSO SUPPORTED AND PROMOTED THE "PEOPLE'S KITCHEN COUNTER-MOBILIZATION: FOOD SYSTEM TAKE-BACK" WHERE WE ELEVATED THE VOICES AND CONCERNS OF THOSE WHOSE HANDS PUT FOOD ON OUR COLLECTIVE TABLES. 371949 29000 0 LAND RIGHTS AND BIOFUELS: IN 2021, ACTIONAID USA PARTNERED WITH UNIVERSITY OF IOWA STAFF AND STUDENTS AND OTHER ALLIES, SUCH AS THE NATIONAL FAMILY FARM COALITION, TO BUILD A CASE AGAINST TIAA'S CLAIMS OF SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY. IN A RESOLUTION WHICH WAS BROUGHT TO THE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA STAFF COUNCIL AND FACULTY SENATE, WE DEMANDED TIAA BE FULLY TRANSPARENT ABOUT THE DETAILS OF ALL ITS LAND ACQUISITIONS AND THAT THE COMPANY TAKE SERIOUS ACTION TO ADDRESS THE HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS, DEFORESTATION, AND NEGATIVE IMPACT ON COMMUNITIES AS A RESULT OF LOSING LAND, WATER, OR FOREST. WE ALSO CALLED ON TIAA TO ALLOW ITS CLIENTS TO KEEP INVESTMENTS CAUSING DEFORESTATION AND LAND GRABBING OUT OF THEIR PORTFOLIOS, WHICH IS CURRENTLY NOT POSSIBLE AND SOMETHING THE COMPANY RESISTS DOING. THE STAFF COUNCIL, WHICH REPRESENTS 7,500 EMPLOYEES, AND THE FACULTY SENATE, WHICH REPRESENTS OVER 1,600 PROFESSORS, BOTH VOTED OVERWHELMINGLY TO APPROVE THE RESOLUTION. THIS RESOLUTION IS JUST THE LATEST IN A WAVE OF FACULTY AND STAFF RESOLUTIONS AT COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY OPPOSING TIAA'S ACQUISITIONS OF GLOBAL FARMLAND AND HOLDING THE COMPANY ACCOUNTABLE TO PROMISING FUTURES FOR THEIR CLIENTS WITHOUT TAKING AWAY THE FUTURES OF MARGINALIZED COMMUNITIES. 985934 824591 0 THE REMAINING PROGRAMS INCLUDE CLIMATE & TAX, EDUCATION, AND EMERGENCY RESPONSE. 985934 824591 0 4138961 true true false true false false false false false false false false false false true true true false false true true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false true 16 0 true 14 true false false false false false false false false false false false false X 10 10 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true false false VA MD X X RICHARD PAYLING-WRIGHT 2028351240 1220 L STREET NW STE 725 WASHINGTON DC 20005 PATRICIA ZERMENO BOARD CHAIR 1.00 X X 0 0 0 IMANI COUNTESS BOARD VICE CHAIR 1.00 X X 0 0 0 RICKI MCMILLAN BOARD TREASURER 1.00 X X 0 0 0 ANURADHA DESAI BOARD SECRETARY 1.00 X X 0 0 0 ABID ASLAM BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 TOM FOX BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 BURHAN RAZI BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 GEOFFREY KNOX BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 ROLLIN JOHNSON JR BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 ATHENA RONQUILLO-BALLESTEROS BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 NIRANJALI AMERASINGHE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.00 X 136350 0 4180 RICHARD PAYLING-WRIGHT CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER 40.00 X 102869 0 10444 MEREDITH SLATER DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT 40.00 X 100000 0 3265 339219 0 17889 2 false false false 249808 5945936 117992 6195744 980 0 980 750 750 6196724 0 0 980 2870091 2870091 253843 88845 63461 101537 924298 654971 157726 111601 16723 6723 5049 4951 131974 66310 29241 36423 103403 54521 23162 25720 22550 0 22550 0 311068 225069 17124 68875 15868 15219 0 649 84129 11317 44570 28242 40602 40602 0 0 158221 96327 30889 31005 7891 7857 34 0 1589 1109 0 480 9167 0 9167 0 8821 0 8821 0 MISCELLANEOUS 296 0 296 0 4960534 4138961 412090 409483 1324070 899936 462224 1059610 2493174 21580 28459 28810 28660 9167 12635 12635 2455872 3925088 115765 73519 248183 274328 798684 638276 872203 X 300659 124260 1516937 2928625 1817596 3052885 2455872 3925088 1236190 -901 X false true X true false X 0 8585684 2424261 3146037 4451430 6195744 24803156 0 0 8585684 2424261 3146037 4451430 6195744 24803156 15574696 9228460 724 6634 5718 1755 980 15811 0 0 24818967 0.37180 0.37030 X 0 0 0 RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 0 0 4960534 4960534 398027 99507 0 0 294792 294902 353332 398027 1341053 2011580 216 216 240 0 672 73698 73726 88333 99507 335264 502896 0 0 0 0 0 DEFERRED RENT AND LEASEHOLD INCENTIVE 126341 AFFILIATE PAYABLE 672343 798684 X 6197474 750 750 6196724 6196724 4961284 750 750 4960534 4960534 Pt III, Line 4 ACTIONAID USA PERFORMED AN EVALUATION OF UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2021, AND DETERMINED THAT THERE WERE NO MATTERS THAT WOULD REQUIRE RECOGNITION IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OR THAT MAY HAVE ANY EFFECT ON ITS TAX-EXEMPT STATUS.
