This court is designed to follow the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) for Indian children in state foster care. In January, 2020, the court opened and Pegasus has been representing these children as Guardian ad Litem. Additionally, we expanded our representation of children in the Pueblos in New Mexico. We continued our work with the Pueblo of Isleta and expanded our work to represent children on the Pueblo of Santa Ana.We continued our work into systematic change for all children in New Mexico. In March we settled a groundbreaking class action lawsuit on behalf of all children in New Mexico foster care. The changes include developing a trauma informed, trauma responsive system, providing appropriate screening for all children, protecting Indian Children, and providing appropriate placement in the least restricted and most connected environment.Pegasus has been able to increase our education work including: 1) school discipline reform by filing special education due process complaints on behalf pf children with disabilities; 2) ensuring equal access to education by representing students seeking access to public charter schools; 3) ensure student due process rights in discipline hearing by representing scores of students at regular education discipline hearing; and 4)collaborating with Access to Justice Commission, CYFD Juvenile Probation. Additionally, Pegasus increased legal services to rural parts of New Mexico. 716840 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false true true true false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 16 0 true 17 true false false false false false false false 0 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 false true true false false NM X Bette Fleishman 5052441101 505 Marquette Ave NW Suite 1350 Albuquerque NM 87102 Bette Fleishman Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 73169 0 6321 Jen Jones Prakash Finance Dir 40.00 0.00 X 45284 0 220 Alison B Pauk JD Chair 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Donna Peace CPA Treasurer 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Matthew Loehman Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Meena H Allen Esq Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Daniel H Hyman Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Sierra Ludington Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Dan Shapiro JD MD Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Grace Spulak JD Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Darcy Bushnell Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jannette Mondragon JD Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 118453 6541 0 false false false 0 107645 7550 266730 381925 Program service fees 611710 683805 683805 683805 303 303 0 0 0 0 19982 7550 3506 16476 16476 0 0 Reimbursed expenses 611710 8496 8496 8496 1091005 692301 16779 0 0 0 0 125236 36356 86158 2722 0 452210 445444 1816 4950 13748 11698 1988 62 66803 59083 7404 316 50419 43211 7208 0 0 8360 8360 0 7605 7605 0 49575 48923 652 10486 126 10360 6046 3655 2306 85 6719 5540 1139 40 0 22418 18855 3263 300 7769 7439 221 109 0 0 0 0 1789 1789 8835 4063 4772 Litigation 7956 7956 Fundraising expenses 7282 7282 Fees and charges 6227 2659 2957 611 Telephone 5599 4963 582 54 25526 16869 7788 869 890608 716840 137751 36017 131467 343130 259580 259883 0 139384 98342 0 0 0 0 8108 10415 43904 34156 6653 9748 0 0 0 0 5429 545192 726947 47335 38464 24026 14255 71361 52719 X 458831 674228 15000 473831 674228 545192 726947 200397 X false true X true false X 760097 359146 262501 210796 381925 1974465 0 0 760097 359146 262501 210796 381925 1974465 295707 1678758 28 187 596 303 1114 6143 14744 19602 10461 16476 67426 8496 8496 2051501 0.81830 0.94910 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 43904 34156 9748 9748 Client trust liability 783 Due to other agencies 13472 14255 X 1107242 12731 12731 1094511 -3506 -3506 1091005 906845 12731 3506 16237 890608 890608 Part X : FIN48 Footnote The Organization is tax-exempt under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
