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. 235808 Advocacy: Nonviolent Peaceforce 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. 601280 425000 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. 837088 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 11 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 LIESL SPITZ 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 Rolf Carriere 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 Louisa Chan-Boegli 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 Gillen Alex 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 1396425 1396425 0 20645 20645 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 OTHER INCOME 7503 7503 7503 1424573 28148 0 0 425000 425000 0 188605 188605 0 223889 3120 65926 154843 0 25452 8013 10253 7186 34419 16004 5664 12751 0 0 72180 30000 42180 0 0 0 0 8175 869 144 7162 0 42931 10299 10789 21843 0 17425 5808 5808 5809 68442 56267 6321 5854 0 0 0 0 973 973 6695 6695 SPECIAL EVENTS 0 MEMBERSHIP & REGISTRATION 8586 4000 298 4288 BANK, CREDIT CARD & EXCHANGE 6060 27 1538 4495 EQUIPMENT EXPENSE 4123 1587 1121 1415 177247 87489 20525 69233 1310202 837088 178235 294879 948253 336539 0 0 333114 361094 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 11804 32925 53244 52311 506 933 0 0 0 0 0 409876 0 0 116544 2799 1410221 1144166 544768 40549 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 65041 544768 105590 X 375181 612915 490272 425661 865453 1038576 1410221 1144166 114371 58752 X false true X true false X 2090010 1036859 1689576 1735580 1396425 7948450 0 0 2090010 1036859 1689576 1735580 1396425 7948450 1621804 6326646 28 24 28 49 20645 20774 0 7503 7503 7976727 0.79314 0.77966 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 53244 52311 933 933 FIDUCIARY: SUSTAINABILITY 11165 F FIDUCIARY: GENERAL & CAPACITY 368121 F FIDUCIARY: EMERGING CRISIS 30590 F 409876 0 RELATED PARTY PAYABLE 65041 65041 X 1486261 58752 2936 61688 1424573 1424573 1313138 2936 2936 1310202 1310202 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.
