WE ENVISION A WORLDWIDE CULTURE OF PEACE IN WHICH CONFLICTS WITHIN AND BETWEEN COMMUNITIES AND COUNTRIES ARE MANAGED THROUGH NONVIOLENT MEANS. false false 0 Field Programs: As an international nonprofit organization with the primary activity of conducting direct unarmed civilian protection (UCP) in areas where civilians are under threat of violent conflict, Nonviolent Peaceforce (NP) in the United States provides support services for its field programs. This support entails functions of administration, fundraising, public outreach, United Nations advocacy and new project exploration. While the field projects themselves have costs incurred and funding raised outside of the United States. Thus, the vast majority of NP's expenses are reflected in tax reports filed in other countries and not in the United States. However, the funds raised and the administration provided by the United States operation, are critically necessary in obtaining non-U.S. funding for the field operations. NP teams continued to operate in the Philippines, South Sudan, Myanmar, Lebanon and Iraq. The United States office provides support for new project exploration and start up, and providing staff welfare support for field teams. These activities are essential for due diligence and effective programming and to obtain field project funds. Thus, U.S. funding and Non-U.S. funding are inter-related. In 2020, the U.S. office initiated a program assessment to use unarmed civilian protection methods in the U.S., specifically in the Twin Cities where the U.S. office is located and was the site of a national uprising against racial injustice. 236869 Advocacy: Nonviolent Peaceforce (NP) advanced the understanding of and policy and funding support for unarmed civilian protection at the United Nations through Briefings, meetings with United Nations officials and staff of UN agencies and Missions. NP advocated for the inclusion of unarmed civilian protection language and concept in a variety of UN Resolutions, guidance documents, non-governmental UN Parallel events and conferences. In 2020, NP initiated similar advocacy work in Washington D.C. to influence the U.S. government to invest in civilian protection methods. 1253966 934910 Outreach: Nonviolent Peaceforce (NP) gave presentations to educational, civic and religious organizations to educate the public on civilian unarmed protection. NP provided background information to and consulted with UN agencies and missions on unarmed civilian protection and violence prevention. NP worked with other similar organizations to identify good practices in the field and their e-learning course on unarmed civilian protection. 1490835 true true false false false false false false false false true false true false true true true true false false true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true true true false false true 17 0 true 9 true false false false false false false false false false false false false X 13 13 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true false false AL AK AZ AR CA CO CT DC FL GA IL KS KY ME MD MA MI MN MS MO NH NJ NY NC ND OH OK OR PA RI SC TN UT VA WA WV WI X X JESSIE KOLSTAD 6128710005 2610 UNIVERSITY AVENUE WEST SUITE St Paul MN 55114 X Marna Anderson Director of Development 40.0 0.0 X 94605 0 0 Mel Duncan Director Advocacy & Outreach 40.0 0.0 X 94000 0 0 Gabriela Vogelaar Director 3.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Meenakshi Gopinath Director 3.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Anna Matveeva Director 3.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Tiffany Tool Director 3.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Rachel Julian Secretary 4.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 Deepa Sureka Director 3.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Fatuma Ibrahim Vice Chair 4.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 Francois Marchand Director 3.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Lucia Nusseibeh Chair 4.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 Brian Mcleod Treasurer 4.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 Kurmann Thomas Director 3.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 188605 0 0 0 false false false 0 3849706 3849706 0 33195 33195 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 OTHER INCOME 999999 28453 28453 28453 3911354 61648 0 0 934910 934910 0 188605 188605 0 248058 27479 75963 144616 0 26910 9947 10568 6395 36878 17985 7301 11592 174239 174239 0 42817 42817 0 12009 12009 0 2436 2436 9592 9592 0 0 0 25129 3180 3506 18443 0 14342 6252 1838 6252 59294 52209 5947 1138 0 0 0 0 1207 1207 7429 7429 MEMBERSHIP & REGISTRATION 8221 2230 1238 4753 BANK, CREDIT CARD & EXCHANGE 9680 24 4408 5248 EQUIPMENT EXPENSE 3011 1326 721 964 SUPPLIES 22518 8872 6788 6858 122783 51548 2182 69053 1950068 1490834 171913 287321 336539 736651 0 0 361094 1733675 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 32925 28159 55199 53518 933 1681 0 0 0 0 409876 670840 0 0 2799 2799 1144166 3173805 40549 47677 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 65041 98700 105590 146377 X 612915 1276142 425661 1751286 1038576 3027428 1144166 3173805 1961286 27566 X false true X true false X 1036859 1689576 1735580 1396425 3949706 9808146 0 0 1036859 1689576 1735580 1396425 3949706 9808146 3575262 6232884 24 28 49 20645 33195 53941 0 0 9862087 0.63201 0.79314 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 55199 53518 1681 1681 FIDUCIARY: SUSTAINABILITY 12811 F FIDUCIARY: GENERAL & CAPACITY 622932 F FIDUCIARY: EMERGING CRISIS 35097 F 670840 0 PAYCHECK PROTECTION PROGRAM LOAN 98700 98700 X 3938920 27566 0 27566 3911354 3911354 1950068 0 0 1950068 1950068 Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 Liability for Uncertain Tax Positions under FIN 48 The Organization is a tax-exempt organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and applicable state statutes and generally is not subject to income taxes.
