PART X, LINE 2: The organization has not taken an unsubstantiated tax position that would require provision of a liability under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 740. Under ASC 740, an organization must recognize the tax liabilities associated with tax positions taken for tax return purposes when it is more likely than not that the position will not be sustained upon examination. The organization does not believe there are any material uncertain tax positions and, accordingly, has not recognized any liability for unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2019. The organization has filed IRS Form 990 tax returns, as required, and all other applicable returns in jurisdictions where it is required. For the year ended June 30, 2019 there was no interest or penalties recorded or included in the accompanying financial statements. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Act") which was signed into law in December 2017, contains various provisions affecting not-for-profit organizations. Tax-exempt organizations are impacted in part by the inclusion of a new excise tax on excess compensation for covered employees and changes to unrelated business income. The Acts provisions may also impact donor incentives for charitable giving. The Act did not have a significant impact on the financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2019. true Central America and the Caribbean 0 0 Program Services advocacy & litigation 89371 East Asia and the Pacific 0 0 Program Services advocacy & litigation 93250 Europe (Including Iceland and Greenland) 1 6 Program Services advocacy & litigation 1928691 Middle East and North Africa 0 0 Program Services advocacy & litigation 6660 North America 0 0 Program Services advocacy & litigation 95254 Russia and the Newly Independent States 0 0 Program Services advocacy & litigation 653 South America 1 8 Program Services advocacy & litigation 658141 South Asia 1 3 Program Services advocacy & litigation 366040 Sub-Saharan Africa 1 13 Program Services advocacy & litigation 1414466 Central America and the Caribbean 0 0 Grantmaking promote rights&justice 119547 East Asia and the Pacific 0 0 Grantmaking promote rights&justice 13872 South America 0 0 Grantmaking promote rights&justice 75502 South Asia 0 0 Grantmaking promote rights&justice 282682 Sub-Saharan Africa 0 0 Grantmaking promote rights&justice 70381 4 30 4 30 5214510 5214510 South America promote rights & health 8530 wire South America promote rights & health 12000 wire South America promote rights & health 6000 wire South America promote rights & health 13328 wire Central America and the Caribbean promote rights & health 30019 wire Central America and the Caribbean promote rights & health 88029 wire South Asia promote rights & health 19019 wire South Asia promote rights & health 30961 wire South Asia promote rights & health 19102 wire Sub-Saharan Africa promote rights & health 7430 wire Sub-Saharan Africa promote rights & health 10021 wire Sub-Saharan Africa promote rights & health 8025 wire Sub-Saharan Africa promote rights & health 5011 wire Sub-Saharan Africa promote rights & health 31859 wire South Asia promote rights & health 79277 CHECK South Asia promote rights & health 32708 CHECK South Asia promote rights & health 63127 CHECK South Asia promote rights & health 9202 wire South America promote rights & health 5309 wire South America promote rights & health 19050 wire East Asia and the Pacific promote rights & health 13872 wire South Asia promote rights & health 21973 CHECK 22 0 false false false false false false Part I, LINE 2: GRANTS WERE PAID TO NONPROFIT PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS THAT WORK TO SUPPORT THE CENTER'S MISSION OF ADVANCING REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH AND HUMAN RIGHTS.

FORM 990, PART III, lINE 1: The Center envisions a world where every person participates with dignity as an equal member of society, regardless of gender. Where every woman is free to decide whether or when to have children and whether to get married; where access to quality reproductive health care is guaranteed; and where every woman can make these decisions free from coercion or discrimination. The Center for Reproductive Rights (the Center) is a non-profit global human rights organization that uses the power of law to advance reproductive rights as fundamental human rights around the world. Its game-changing litigation, policy, and advocacy work combined with its unparalleled expertise in constitutional, international, and comparative human rights law have transformed how reproductive rights are understood by courts, governments, and human rights bodies. The Center has played a key role in securing legal victories in the U.S., Latin America, Sub-Saharan Africa, Asia, and Europe on issues including access to life-saving obstetrics care, contraception, and safe abortion services. In addition, the Center has built the legal capacity of womens rights advocates in over 60 countries through its Pro Bono program and legal networks. FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A: U.S. Legal Program: The U.S. Legal program strives to protect and advance reproductive liberty and access to reproductive health care in the united states by employing diverse strategies grounded in the center's legal expertise via litigation and legal advocacy. the legal victories of the U.S. legal program - including a landmark 2016 u.s. supreme court decision affirming a woman's right to access abortion and striking down abortion Texas restrictions, constituting an "undue burden" of the constitutional rights of women - have helped millions of women and their families by striking down abortion bans and other restrictions on access to reproductive health care, securing coverage for reproductive health services available through government - sponsored health insurance programs and protecting access to emergency contraception and confidential reproductive health care. the center's u.s. policy and advocacy team works at the local, state and national levels to protect and promote reproductive rights and health. it advocates for domestic and foreign policy that advances reproductive health and freedom, which allows women and families to prosper. FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4B: Global Legal Program: The global legal program works to establish and maintain legal protections for reproductive rights at the national, regional, and international levels to improve the reality of women's lives with respect to their reproductive health. we are the recognized global leader in using the law to advance reproductive freedom, autonomy, and access to health care as fundamental human rights that governments are obligated to protect, respect, and fulfill. for 25 years, our innovative legal strategies have been a driving force in many of the most important advances in reproductive rights law worldwide, and in broadening how human rights are understood and applied to some of the most pressing challenges societies face today. Our groundbreaking cases before national courts, united nations committees, and regional human rights bodies have dramatically expanded access to reproductive health care and redressed rights violations. FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION A, LINE 1: In fy16, the centers governing body delegated broad authority to act on its behalf to an executive committee.

The centers vice president of global administration and office operations then reviews the conflict-of-interest disclosure forms and, if a conflict is identified, the chief operating officer will be notified and will discuss the conflict with the appropriate parties and will take further action if necessary. FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 15: the center conducts a compensation and benefits analysis to determine if the centers compensation, leave and benefit programs are competitive with comparable organizations. For the most recent compensation and benefits analysis the center undertook in July 2018, the center analyzed salary and benefits information provided by 17 comparable companies and data from published surveys for non-profit organizations. The center also solicited feedback from staff regarding the centers compensation and benefit programs through an in-house custom survey. Salaries and benefits of staff positions that were found to be below that of comparable companies were adjusted accordingly. Also, the center conducts an annual performance evaluation for its management and the rest of its staff. The center then applies merit increases based on the results of the evaluation. Annually, the center discloses to its executive committee the compensation and benefits of members of senior management. Annually, the board of directors also review the performance of the individual who is serving as both the centers president and ceo. It delegates the decision of compensation of the individual who is serving as both president and ceo based on performance to the executive committee of the board.
