To assist users of the library understand how best to utilize the resources, in order to positively impact children/families, the Organization provides a range of professional development training opportunities as well as presentations that enable us to share important lessons learned. We provide workshop seminars that help educators and human service providers to build cultural competencies and become more effective in their work with children and families. In 2020, 130 educators, administrators, youth workers, and child/family advocates were trained. Participating organizations included schools, school districts, and community organizations as well as government employees who provide services to children and families. Participants reported receiving great benefit from the training that helped them become more effective and culturally-responsive to the needs of children and families with whom they work. 0 0 0 614968 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 25 0 1 8 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 9 9 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 0 MN X Gevonee Ford 6512093355 3255 Spring Street NE Suite 100 Minneapolis MN 55413 Gevonee Ford Executive Director 40 0 X 89221 0 12770 Johnny Allen Jr Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Shirlynn M LaChapelle Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Donald Joseph Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Miata Foluke Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Robert Sayers Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Theresa Collins Chair 3 0 X X 0 0 0 Kwasi Nate Russell Vice Chair 3 0 X X 0 0 0 Deb Price Secretary 3 0 X X 0 0 0 Gene Ward Jr Treasurer 3 0 X X 0 0 0 89221 0 12770 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 118312 428812 0 547124 Training & Service Fees 813319 421000 421000 0 0 0 0 0 0 421000 50 0 0 50 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1187 0 0 1187 1187 969361 421000 0 1237 X 101991 73864 3059 25068 218335 215793 2542 42685 42018 667 0 26154 24262 378 1514 49213 49213 105712 103267 2445 18029 18029 64107 61571 2536 7858 7658 200 50280 46799 696 2785 2219 1911 308 549 274 275 5819 5270 549 4686 1487 1899 1300 Program Stipends 11865 11865 0 0 4207 900 3307 713709 614968 68074 30667 150018 242275 161076 161099 25000 192764 100905 102208 10867 8411 32889 22298 14930 10591 462796 717348 14092 12992 0 14092 12992 X 361204 485406 87500 218950 448704 704356 462796 717348 255652 0 0 0 0 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 199601 528861 353647 253443 547124 1882676 199601 528861 353647 253443 547124 1882676 727862 1154814 21 38 78 61 50 248 291 1187 1478 1884402 2200997 0.61283 0.6702 X Schedule A, Part II, Line 10 Other Income RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4755 1744 3011 0 28134 20554 7580 0 0 0 0 10591 0 0 X Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 The Organization's activities are generally exempt from federal and state income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
