We uniquely focus on systems change and best practices in disability employment. We have met 1-on-1 with 46 governors; testified in every state; and published toolkits, webinars, and articles on best employment practices. We helped create, with our allies, and unprecedented fourfold improvement in new jobs for people with disabilities (343,483 vs 87,201 jobs) through partnership and new policies, best practices, and data-driven solutions. We have published research on disability employment, stigma media representation of disabilities, criminal justice reform, and disability inclusion in the philanthropy sector. 266066 0 0 Talent Pipeline/Leadership Training/Civic Engagement We prepare a talent pipeline by recruiting, training, and placing young leaders with disabilities into competitive employment (careers) in communications, acting, public policy, advocacy and the nonprofit sector. We recruited and trained 140 young leaders with disabilities. While some of our graduates are still completing their educations, we have already achieved a 65% employment rate for them in competitive, integrated employment. We also recruit, train and place adults with disabilities and their allies to serve in leadership roles in civic engagement. 196970 0 0 Community Outreach Partnerships (Hollywood) We fight against implicit bias by promoting positive and accurate portrayals of people with disabilities in the media, film, and TV to raise expectations about what people with disabilities CAN do. Studies show that when employers see positive and accurate portrayals of people with disabilities at work, employers are more likely to hire them. We created and disseminated the first Hollywood Disability Inclusion Toolkit and worked behind the scenes for more positive portrayals of people with disabilities. We helped create TV's Born This Way, which stars seven diverse people with Down syndrome who succeeded at work. It won 13 Emmy nominations and 3 wins, and is inspiring employers. We train major studios on disability inclusion and consult on scripts and inclusion for the accurate representation of people with disabilities (Disney/Pixar, Netflix, and NBC). 986548 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false true true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false 49 0 true 17 true false false false false false false false false false false X 21 21 true false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false AK AL AR CA CO CT FL GA HI IL KY LA MD MA MI MN MT NH NJ NY NC OH OK OR RI SC TN VA WV X Jennifer L Mizrahi 2027440546 11333 Woodglen Drive Rockville MD 20852 X Calvin Harris Chairman (7/11/17 - 10/2/18) 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Steve Bartlett VP (1/1-18 - ) Chairman (10/2/18 - 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Shelley Cohen Secretary 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Ronald Glancz Treasurer (7/11/17 - 7/31/18) 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Linda Burger Treasurer (7/31/18 - 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Vivian Bass Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Olegario Cantos VII Board Member (1/30/18 - 1.00 X 0 0 0 Eleanor Clift Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Judith Creed Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Heidi Daroff Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Andrew Egan Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Gabrielle Einstein-Sim Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Neil Jacobson Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Evelyn Kelley Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Jonathan Murray Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Aaron Orlofsky Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Richard Phillips Jr Board Member (8/5/18 - 1.00 X 0 0 0 Gerard Robinson Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Robert Schwartz Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Jim Sinocchi Board Member (10/17/18 - 1.00 X 0 0 0 Thomas Sweitzer Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Delbert Whetter Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Jennifer Laszlo Mizrahi CEO & President 60.00 X X 0 0 0 0 0 0 false false false 1085808 1085808 1638 0 1638 Miscellaneous revenue 900099 100 100 0 0 100 1087546 100 0 1638 474600 358291 49684 66625 27786 18561 7331 1894 41971 28268 8473 5230 15800 0 15800 0 276387 210482 37091 28814 32803 31049 560 1194 73442 65924 4113 3405 33507 10440 23067 0 134865 91924 29333 13608 139985 125780 3615 10590 39373 25244 500 13629 1428 973 311 144 8890 6059 1934 897 Other 19327 13553 2894 2880 1320164 986548 184706 148910 141505 249993 400119 651757 882080 263990 19218 22089 21911 25242 11167 2658 4218 8509 9819 9819 1478870 1231399 11160 5258 8951 0 20111 5258 X 6777 -99138 1451982 1325279 1458759 1226141 1478870 1231399 -232618 X false true X false false X 0 327760 1620876 549684 1538530 1085808 5122658 327760 1620876 549684 1538530 1085808 5122658 1539068 3583590 119 1638 1757 460 200 5000 650 100 6410 5130825 0.69840 X 0 0 0 Pt II Ln 10 Other Income Part II, Line 10 Description: Miscellaneous revenue 2014: 460. 2015: 200. 2016: 5000. 2017: 650. 2018: 100. 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 11167 2658 8509 0 0 0 8509 Deferred lease obligation 0 0 X 1187546 100000 100000 1087546 1087546 1420164 100000 100000 1320164 1320164 Pt X, Line 2 The organization is exempt from income taxes under Internal Revenue Code 501(c)(3) and applicable Maryland statutes. No provision for income taxes is required at December 31, 2018, as the Organization had no net unrelated business income. The organization follows FASB ASC 740 Income Taxes, the authoritative guidance relating to accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. These provisions provide consistent guidance for the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity's financial statements and prescribe a threshold of "more likely than not" for recognition and derecognition of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Organization performed an evaluation of uncertain tax positions for the year ended December 31, 2018, and determined that there were no matters that would require recognition in the financial statements or which may have any effect on its tax- exempt status. As of December 31, 2018, the statute of limitations for tax years 2015 through 2017 remains open with federal and Maryland authorities. Pt VI, Line 2 Two board members are married.
