Today, more than half of all postsecondary learners attend community COLLEGES - INSTITUTIONS UNIQUELY SUITED TO MEET THE DIVERSE NEEDS OF TODAY'S STUDENTS - TO PURSUE AN EDUCATION WHILE WORKING FULL time and supporting their families. The Foundation will support these distinctly American institutions, where anyone who walks through the door is one step closer to the American Dream. 178368 5000 SUPPORTING MILITARY FAMILIES The Foundation focused on military spouse employment, working to connect military spouses with career opportunities. It also led efforts to support military children: Operation Educate the educators, in partnership with the military child education Coalition and the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education, directly engages educators to create learning environments that meet the needs of military families and children. 1102958 357000 1677901 true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false true false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 22 0 true 16 true false false false false false false false false false false false false X 8 8 false false false false false false false true false false false true true true true true true true false false CA CO DE DC FL GA IL MD MA NY OH PA VA WA X X THE BIDEN FOUNDATION 2026546200 C/O PERKINS COIE 700 13TH ST NW ST Washington DC 20005 LOUISA TERRELLEnd 61 EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.0 0.0 X 173159 0 29474 Mala AdigaEnd 53119 Dir OF Higher Ed & Military Fa 40.0 0.0 X 126694 0 5101 VALERIE BIDEN OWENS Vice Chair 5.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 Jeffrey Peck Vice Chair & Treasurer 5.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 TED KAUFMAN CHAIR 10.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 Mark Gitenstein President 5.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 Mark Angelson Vice Chair & Secretary 5.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 MICAELA FERNANDEZ ALLE director 5.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 NICOLE ISAAC director 5.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 DARLA POMEROY director 5.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 299853 0 34575 2 false true false 0 283222 283222 MILITARY FAMILIES: CHLDRN REIMBS FOR BKS 451211 5000 5000 5000 45611 45611 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 333833 5000 0 45611 X 392000 392000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 178624 133968 26794 17862 492953 469417 20181 3355 23824 21220 1809 795 0 53538 53538 0 70930 35000 35930 94959 3892 90940 127 0 26250 26250 0 311444 308215 3229 0 50068 42239 7653 176 16071 14439 1160 472 0 73500 66621 4703 2176 52822 48281 4529 12 0 0 0 0 37639 37639 70603 40248 28122 2233 MEALS 11704 3513 8151 40 LICENSES & SUBSCRIPTIONS 12165 7671 4479 15 1969094 1677901 237680 53513 3743637 2064666 0 0 2000 0 21375 1009 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 17580 28546 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 37639 0 0 0 3822231 2094221 96450 3701 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 96450 3701 X 3725781 2090520 0 0 3725781 2090520 3822231 2094221 -1635261 X false true X true false X 0 3401100 3222073 3252814 283222 10159209 0 0 0 3401100 3222073 3252814 283222 10159209 5859315 4299894 329 1010 43299 45611 90249 0 0 10249458 5000 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 333833 333833 333833 1969094 1969094 1969094 true YMCA OF THE USA 101 N WACKER DR CHICAGO IL 60606 560591307 501(c)(3) 350000 support ACHIEVING THE DREAM 8403 COLESVILLE RD SUITE 450 SILVER SPRING MD 20910 271635830 501(c)(3) 30000 support 2 0 Schedule I, Line 2 The Biden Foundation works closely with its grant recipients to create initiatives that align with its exempt purpose.

BIDEN'S LIFELONG COMMITMENT TO PROTECT AND ADVANCE THE RIGHTS AND OPPORTUNITIES OF ALL PEOPLE THROUGH EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMMING AND PUBLIC POLICY ANALYSIS. The Foundation's primary areas of focus are: FOREIGN POLICY, THE CANCER INITIATIVE, COMMUNITY COLLEGES AND MILITARY FAMILIES, PROTECTING CHILDREN, EQUALITY, VIOLENCE AGAINST women, and strengthening THE MIDDLE CLASS. VICE PRESIDENT BIDEN HAS PLAYED A UNIQUE ROLE IN OUR COUNTRY THROUGHOUT HIS YEARS OF PUBLIC SERVICE. HE HAS CHAMPIONED - AND WILL CONTINUE TO CHAMPION - PROGRESS AND PROSPERITY FOR AMERICAN FAMILIES. THE BIDEN FOUNDATION BUILDS UPON THAT MISSION: TO IDENTIFY POLICIES THAT ADVANCE THE MIDDLE CLASS, DECREASE ECONOMIC INEQUALITY AND INCREASE OPPORTUNITY FOR ALL PEOPLE. IN ADDITION, THE FOUNDATION WILL WORK TO ENSURE THAT EVERYONE - NO MATTER THEIR INCOME LEVEL, RACE, GENDER, AGE OR SEXUALITY - IS TREATED EQUALLY AND GETS A FAIR SHOT AT ACHIEVING THE AMERICAN DREAM. FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4D OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES ENSURING LGBTQ EQUALITY In America, everyone is entitled to be treated with dignity and respect, regardless of who they are and who they love. Over the past decade, we've made remarkable progress on the journey toward full equality. LGBTQ people are now protected by a federal hate crimes law, no longer banned from serving in the military, and free to marry nationwide. But important work remains if we are to achieve equality for all Americans. Vice President Joe Biden has played a unique role throughout his years of public service, championing progress and prosperity for all. The Biden Foundation will build on that work, continuing Joe Biden's fight for equality that began in the civil rights era and extends to his leadership on LGBTQ equality today. STRENGTHENING THE MIDDLE CLASS Joe Biden believes in the American middle class. To him, the middle class is not only the economic engine of America, but it's also the glue that holds the social fabric of this nation together. He's fought his whole CAREER TO GIVE PEOPLE IN ALL COMMUNITIES - LIKE THE ONES HE AND DR.BIDEN GREW UP IN - A FAIR SHOT AT ACHIEVING THEIR DREAMS. AND HE KNOWS THAT IF you give all Americans a fighting chance, they can do extraordinary things. Middle class families have made incredible progress, but there's more work to do. That's why we launched the Biden Forum. The Biden Forum is an online conversation devoted to you: the American middle class and those working hard to get there. The Forum features diverse viewpoints from industry leaders, innovators, elected officials, and American workers from every corner. We are spotlighting local initiatives from communities across the country and providing a platform for everyday people to share their ideas.
