Building and Maintaining a Broad Coalition: We bring together a nonpartisan nonprofit coalition of more than 200 civil rights, consumer, labor, investor, small business, and civic and community-based organizations. We build connections among disparate groups; put together and nurture an infrastructure to develop and share information, experiences, insights, tools, tactics, and strategies; and provide materials, research, and other tools so that together we can develop and advance economic and racial justice priorities to reform the financial system. Policy Analysis and Development: We analyse policy proposals in the financial space, including regulatory proposals from the CFPB, Federal Reserve, FDIC, SEC, CFTC and more, as well as legislative proposals ; write regulatory comment letters arguing for consumer and investor protection, financial stability, big bank accountability, increased transparency, an end to racial discrimination, etc; testify as experts before Congress; convene public policy conversations; research and write memoranda and reports. And we work with our allies to develop and propose policy solutions to stop financial sector abuses of economically vulnerable families and communities, and reverse growing inequality that results from unchecked financialization and speculation. 1379732 true true false true false false false false false false true false false false true true true false false false 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 true 4 0 true 19 true false false false false false false false false false false false false X 5 4 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true false false false X The Organization 2024661885 1615 L Street NW Washington DC 20036 Stephen B Abrecht Director 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Saqib Bhatti Director 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Anna Lefer Kuhn Treasurer 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Patricia McCoy Director 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Hilary Shelton Secretary 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Lisa Donner Director 27.37 0.00 X X 76359 0 3828 76359 0 3828 0 false false false 9918070 9918070 19822 19822 9937892 0 0 19822 X 664200 664200 55742 38518 11985 5239 582019 402252 125474 54293 133820 92486 28843 12491 3865 1524 2341 79294 79294 42259 40358 1901 35988 9574 10055 16359 102985 69629 23374 9982 14015 11681 91 2243 6868 5415 1453 13952 9540 3045 1367 4653 1261 3212 180 Staff Development 3726 122 3604 Bank Charges 3302 3302 Communications 36176 33172 2225 779 1782864 1379732 298298 104834 4639547 2642910 163885 5896 117214 17440 99774 963767 16676 0 8532455 393593 4993 0 398586 X 4088532 4045337 0 8133869 0 8532455 8155028 -21159 0 X false true X true false X 9918070 9918070 9918070 9918070 9918070 19822 19822 19822 19822 0 0 9937892 9937892 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 1782864 1782864 239143 59786 false 239143 239143 358715 59786 59786 89679 72933 8051 64882 44281 9389 34892 99774 Security Deposits 16676 16676 Deferred Rent 4993 4993 X 9916733 -21159 -21159 9937892 9937892 1782864 1782864 1782864 Footnote for uncertain tax position under FIN 48 (Part X) The accounting standard on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements under that guidance, the Organization may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position examples of tax positions include the tax-exempt status of the Organization and various positions related to the potential sources of unrelated business taxable income (UBIT) the tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement there were no unrecognized tax benefits identified or recorded as liabilities for the year. true Action Center on Race and the Econ 1901 West Carroll Avenue Chicago IL 60612 821199695 225000 Americans for Financial Reform 1615 L Street NW Washington Washington DC 20036 822543434 150000 MH Education Fund at Tides Foundat 1014 Torney Avenue San Francisco CA 94129 510198509 34000 Indiana Association for Community 202 East Market Street Indianapolis IN 46204 351695379 31500 Virginia Organizing Inc 703 Concord Avenue Charlottesville VA 22903 541674992 30500 WISPIRG Foundation Inc 122 State Street Madison WI 53703 391926253 29700 New York Communities Organizing Fu 2-4 Nevins Street Brooklyn NY 11217 272332649 25500 Peoples Action Fund 810 N Milwaukee Avenue Chicago IL 60642 262613701 22500 VOICE Education Fund Inc PO Box 881 Oklahoma City OK 73103 262941339 20600 Forward Justice 400 W Main Street Durham NC 27701 812450800 15500 Alabama Appleased Center for Law a PO box 4864 Montgomery AL 36103 061647437 15000 New Jersey Citizen Action Educatio 744 Broad Street Newark NJ 07102 222493628 14500 Alliance for a Just Society 3518 South Edmunds Street Seattle WA 98118 911635554 12500 The Consensus Council Inc 1003 E Interstate Ave Bismarck ND 58503 450418456 10500 Alaska Public Interest Research Gr PO Box 201416 Olsburg KS 66520 920047627 10000 Pennsylvania Public Interest Resea 1429 Walnut St Philadelphia PA 19102 232448881 8000 Progresssive Maryland Inc PO Box 6988 Upper Marlboro MD 20792 030401249 5000 17 Form 990 governing body review Part VI line 11 Once the form 990 is prepared, it is reviewed by senior staff.
