DescImmigrant Rights - The ACLU of Texas played a critical role in protecting immigrants and border communities. Our work with migrants released from Custom and Border Patrol custody led the Office of Inspector General to investigate and to issue a scathing report documenting inhumane detention conditions in CBP facilities in the Rio Grande Valley. The report was widely reported in the media and used in litigation. We worked with ACLU National to challenge the Trump administrations so-called Remain in Mexico policy, which turns away people seeking asylum in the U.S. by sending them to Mexico to await their immigration court date. We obtained the release of pregnant women living in dangerous encampments because of the program. We filed litigation to stop construction of the Border Wall and to assure asylum seekers access to counsel.Desc

DescSmart Criminal Justice - Our criminal justice work prioritized reducing mass incarceration in Texas, which disproportionately affects people of color and the poor. With our pro bono legal partners we litigated several cases challenging the practice of jailing people solely because they are too poor to pay fines or post bail, while wealthier accused are released because they can pay fines. Our efforts resulted in a first-in-the-nation federal court rulings that Texans are entitled to be represented by counsel at bail hearings and that municipal court judges are prohibited from jailing people for unpaid fines unless they have access to counsel when they enter a plea. When COVID began circulating in Texas prisons and jails in early 2020, we spearheaded an effort to educate nearly 500 key criminal justice stakeholders in Texas about the risks and mitigation strategies.Desc

DescReproductive Freedom - We filed a federal lawsuit against seven Texas municipalities for passing anti-abortion ordinances that discriminate against and stifle pro-abortion speech and association and brand pro-abortion organizations as criminal, banishing them from the cities. We filed the suit on behalf of two organizations, Texas Equal Access Fund and Lilith Fund, which assist people in obtaining abortions and advocate to ensure access to abortion in Texas.Desc

Form And Line ReferencePart V, Line 4: Intended uses of the endowment fund.FormAndLineReferenceDesc
ExplanationThe endowment of $125,000 must be maintained in perpetuity with the remaining portion of the fund to be classified as net assets with donor restrictions until the amounts are appropriated for expenditure in a manner consistent with the Texas Uniform Prudent Management of Institutional Funds Act. The National ACLU and its separately incorporated affiliate foundations (including the ACLU Foundation of Texas) are cooperatively raising and sharing in a Trust for the Bill of Rights Endowment Fund. Endowment gifts are shared between the National ACLU and the affiliate foundations. While these endowment gifts are held by the National ACLU in a single independent account, financial data on each foundation's shares is allocated and reported separately for each affiliate. For tax purposes, the National ACLU does not meet the criteria to be considered a related organization with respect to the ACLU Foundation of Texas.ExplanationTxt

Form And Line ReferenceFormAndLineReferenceDescExplanationExplanationTxt
Client Note 1Client Note 1 - The 2019 Form 990 for the ACLU Foundation is being filed after the extended due date due to the unforeseen electricity outage in Houston TX on February 15, 2021 due to Winter Storm Uri. We request waiver of the late filing penalties. The delay was caused by circumstances beyond our control.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4d: Other Program Services DescriptionOTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: LGBTQ+ - Our work for LGBTQ equality focused on helping LGBTQ youth obtain equal access to educational opportunities. We represented families in administrative proceedings in school districts across the state to challenge discriminatory policies and practices. We also created know-your-rights resources to help teachers, families, and LGBTQ students advocate for fair policies. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 5: Voting Rights - We successfully settled our lawsuit challenging an attempted voter purge by the Texas Secretary of State. The state created a list of 98,000 alleged noncitizens who were registered to vote, attempting to remove them from the voting rolls. The list included a large number of naturalized citizens who were plainly eligible to vote. As a result of our suit, the state rescinded the list and counties abandoned plans to use it for voter purges. We also represented Crystal Mason, a Black woman who was convicted of illegal voting even though she was unaware the state considered her ineligible to vote and cast a provisional ballot that was not counted. As a member of the Texas Election Protection coalition, we launched the Texas Election Protection campaign to prepare to protect voting rights and facilitate access to the polls for Texans during the 2020 Texas primary and general election.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b: Form 990 Review ProcessThe Board President, Treasurer, and attorney Board Member initially review Form 990 with the Executive Director and the Finance Manager. The returns are then shared with the entire Board for review prior to filing with the IRS.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 12c: Explanation of Monitoring and Enforcement of ConflictsBoard members sign a conflict of interest form each year disclosing potential conflicts. In addition to signing the disclosure statement, the board also inquires whether any conflicts exist before voting on any matter involving the Foundation's assets.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 15a: Compensation Review & Approval Process - CEO, Top ManagementThe Executive Director's compensation is determined by the Board of Directors. The Personnel Committee makes a compensation recommendation to the Board based on an annual salary survey of 53 ACLU affiliates plus a survey of Executive Director salaries of similar organizations in similar locations. The Board then discusses the recommended compensation, deliberates and votes on approval.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 15b: Compensation Review and Approval Process for Officers and Key EmployeesCompensation for all other employees is determined internally by the Executive Director and the Human Resources Director after a review of comparable Texas organizations and 53 ACLU affiliates nationwide.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 19: Other Organization Documents Publicly AvailableThe conflict of interest policy and financial statements are available for review upon request.
