These are distributed through social media, electronic newsletters (Kennedy News & Views), and on our website.Once these exposures are identified we utilize health informatics data tofurther assess exposures to these chemicals and adverse health outcomes. If our finding support a causal relationship between the exposure and adverse health outcomes we identify potential sources of these exposures, those responsible for the exposures and work with them to reduce and eliminate. 566533 ResearchChildrens Health Defense has thousands of members throughoutthe US who share with us personal stories about the decline in their childrens health and what they think might have been the responsible. We then engage our team of scientists, researchers, and advocates to dig deeper by combing through full-text archives of biomedical and life sciences research at the US National Institutes of Healths National Library of Medicine to determine if the parents concerns are supported by research. 8417676 true true false true false false false false false false false false false false false false true true false false false true false false true false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 81 0 true 40 true false false false false false true true false false false false false false false false X 17 10 false false false false false false false true true false true true true true true true true true true true false CA GA HI NY X Heidi Kidd 2019063475 9-11 6th St Fair Lawn NJ 07410 Robert F Kennedy Jr Chairman Chief Legal Counsel 40.00 0.00 X X 497013 0 4503 Mary S Holland President Director 40.00 0.00 X X 180000 0 0 Laura Bono Executive Director 40.00 0.00 X 150417 0 0 Rolf Hazlehurst General Counsel 40.00 0.00 X 145046 0 4954 Lyndelle Redwood President Director 40.00 0.00 X 100091 0 3909 Brian Hooker Chief Science Officer Direct 5.00 0.00 X 81667 0 0 Rita Shreffler Secretary 40.00 0.00 X 66227 0 1690 Heidi Kidd Treasurer 20.00 0.00 X 28526 0 0 Michelle Walrath Director 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 David Centner Director 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Sheila Ealey Director 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Robyn Ross Director 0.00 5.00 X 0 0 0 Michael Horwin Director 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Leila Centner Director 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Terena Eisner Director 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Kristina Kristin Director 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Katie Wright Director 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Michael Baum Director 10.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Aimee Rickabus Director 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Tiffany Neu Director 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Alix Mayer Director 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 1248987 0 15056 5 true true false Boies Schiller Flexner LLP 2200 Corporate BLVD NW Boca Raton FL 33431 Legal 620437 Jed Rubenfeld 1031 Forest Road New Haven CT 06515 Legal 386381 Joel Hay Consulting 1362 US HWY 395 North Ste 102425 Gardnerville NV 89410 Consulting 317850 Autism Media Channel 6507 River Place Blvd Austin TX 78730 Promotion 218331 Roger I Teich 290 Nevada St San Francisco CA 94110 Legal 231870 7 15695358 15695358 68140 68140 50000 50000 45750 26786 18964 18964 11475 8798 2677 2677 Credit Card Points 900099 9594 9594 PPP Loan Forgiveness 900099 145399 145399 154993 15990132 52677 0 242097 X 15056 15056 1220460 1220460 932637 906550 26087 216814 216814 141166 141166 20307 20307 3442189 3174870 267319 56512 56512 1107803 1077285 30518 94087 89087 5000 84153 84153 356522 356522 696 696 6067 6067 330998 330998 32983 7104 25879 Merchant Fees 172410 172410 Video and Photo Expenses 291602 291602 Consulting-writers research 235834 235834 Publications 353632 353632 10283 10283 9122211 8417676 704535 0 2536240 2577552 846498 7440385 233750 45145 56662 320142 903768 78634 3981775 11057001 118161 470865 145399 263560 470865 X 3718215 10586136 3718215 10586136 3981775 11057001 6867921 0 X false true X true false X 736555 1063837 2210727 3153040 15695358 22859517 17185 59666 36626 45750 159227 736555 1081022 2270393 3189666 15741108 23018744 653737 1913431 5206500 7773668 653737 1913431 5206500 7773668 15245076 100 145 15876 74377 68140 158638 100 145 15876 74377 68140 158638 10212 11475 21687 1126 1888 5425 204993 213432 736655 1082293 2288157 3279680 16025716 23412501 0.65120 0.64560 0.01000 0.01000 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 9157795 9157795 607890 151973 false 243024 387976 607890 1238890 1858335 55543 16031 71574 60756 96994 151973 309723 464585 55543 16031 71574 Cryptocurrencies 78634 F 78634 16025716 35584 35584 15990132 15990132 9157795 35584 35584 9122211 9122211 Other revenues not included on Form 990 (Part XI, line 2d) Retail Value of Fundraising Event Donations as per Sch G Cost of Merchandise Other expenses not included on Form 990 (Part XII, line 2d) Retail Value of Fundraising Event Donations as per Sch G Cost of Merchandise Europe including Iceland and Greenland Promotional Expenses 160974 Wire Sub-Saharan Africa Set Up Expenses 13300 Wire false false false false false false Health Freed 45750 45750 26786 45750 45750 26786 26786 18964 X false false false false false false false false false Robert F Kennedy Jr Chairman Chief Legal Counsel 395497 101516 4503 501516 Mary S Holland President Director 180000 180000 Lyndelle Redwood President Director 100091 3909 104000 Laura Bono Executive Director 150417 150417 Form 990 governing body review Part VI line 11 COMPLETE COPY OF FORM 990 IS PROVIDED TO THE BOARD PRIOR TO FILING BOARD REVIEWS AND DISCUSSES AT IN PERSON BOARD MEETING, BY TELEPHONE OR VIA EMAIL IF NECESSARY.
