WE MOBILIZE POWERFUL COALITIONS TO CHALLENGE CHRISTIAN NATIONALISM AND RELIGIOUS EXTREMISM, WHILE FOSTERING A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THE HEALTHY BOUNDARIES BETWEEN RELIGION AND GOVERNMENT. WE ADVOCATE AT ALL LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT FOR AN EQUITABLE AND JUST AMERICA WHERE THE FREEDOMS OF BELIEF AND RELIGIOUS PRACTICE ARE PROTECTED AND WHERE ALL PERSONS ARE TREATED WITH DIGNITY AND HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO THRIVE. 0 0 1117902 POLICY AND ADVOCACY - RECOGNIZING THE POWER OF CONGRESS AND STATE LEGISLATURES, THE EXECUTIVE, AND THE COURTS TO IMPACT PEOPLE'S LIVES ACROSS THE COUNTRY, INTERFAITH ALLIANCE HAS BEEN THE ORGANIZATION AT THE TABLE THAT INSISTS THAT OUR LAWS REFLECT THE FULL RANGE OF RELIGIOUS DIVERSITY AND EXPERIENCES THAT MAKE OUR DEMOCRACY REAL. INTERFAITH ALLIANCE BUILDS RELATIONSHIPS WITH POLICYMAKERS AND COALITION PARTNERS ON THE FEDERAL AND STATE LEVELS AND CONDUCTS ADVOCACY AND EDUCATIONAL EFFORTS TO REMIND POLITICAL LEADERS THAT THE MAJORITY OF RELIGIOUS PEOPLE BELIEVE THAT THE RIGHTS OF RELIGIOUS MINORITIES, ABORTION ACCESS, MARRIAGE EQUALITY, AND THE SACRED RIGHT TO VOTE ARE BOUND UP IN THE FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHT OF RELIGIOUS FREEDOM. WE SPECIFICALLY LED IN FAITH ORGANIZING AROUND LGBTQ+ EQUALITY, INCLUSIVE RELIGIOUS FREEDOM, FIGHTING HATE AND DISCRIMINATION, PROTECTING THE RIGHT TO VOTE AND INTEGRITY OF OUR ELECTIONS, SUPPORTING PUBLIC EDUCATION AND LIBRARIES, AND REPRODUCTIVE JUSTICEALL LADDERING UP TO DEMOCRACY. 578782 32500 AFFILIATES AND PARTNERSHIPS - BELIEVING WITH JUSTICE BRANDEIS THAT "STATES ARE THE LABORATORIES OF DEMOCRACY," INTERFAITH ALLIANCE INVESTS IN PARTNERSHIPS WITH LOCAL AFFILIATES AND NETWORKS IN SUCH STATES AS IOWA, COLORADO, WYOMING, NORTH DAKOTA, OKLAHOMA, TEXAS, AND FLORIDA. WE MOBILIZE AND RESOURCE COALITIONS OF CLERGY AND CIVIC LEADERS, ADVOCATES, ACTIVISTS, AND ALLIES, TRUSTING THAT LOCAL LEADERS KNOW BEST THE NEEDS OF THEIR COMMUNITIES AND CAN REACH AND INFLUENCE A BROAD RANGE OF CONSTITUENCIES. TO EXPAND THE PIPELINE OF LEADERS WITH THE CAPACITY FOR INTERFAITH ORGANIZING, IA LAUNCHED A COMPETITIVE PILOT PROGRAM, THE INTERFAITH LEADERSHIP NETWORK (ILN). WE SUPPORTED THE FORMATION OF 10 DIVERSE FAITH LEADERS WITH TRAINING, SKILL BUILDING, NETWORKS AND RESOURCES TO INITIATE PRO-DEMOCRACY PROJECTS IN THEIR LOCAL COMMUNITIES. THEY JOINED AFFILIATE LEADERS AND PARTNERS FROM ACROSS THE COUNTRY FOR A COMMUNITY AND SKILL BUILDING CONVENING IN D.C. THAT KICKED OFF THE 30TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION. INTERFAITH ALLIANCE LED FAITH FOR PRIDE, AN EFFORT THAT MOBILIZED 120+ NATIONAL AND LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS TO WORK AGAINST ANTI-LGBTQ+ LEGISLATION; 50 FAITH FOR PRIDE EVENTS WERE HELD IN 19 STATES. IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE SOUTHERN POVERTY LAW CENTER, INTERFAITH ALLIANCE CONVENED 60 INTERFAITH LEADERS IN MONTGOMERY, AL FOR A COUNTERING HATE SUMMIT THAT HIGHLIGHTED OUR INTERFAITH APPROACH TO CONFRONTING ANTISEMITISM AND ISLAMOPHOBIA AS WELL AS HATE OF OTHER KINDS, INCLUDING AGAINST LGBTQ PEOPLE AND RACIAL AND RELIGIOUS MINORITIES. A MAPPING PROJECT RESULTED IN A WHITE PAPER, COUNTERING HATE TOGETHER, THAT WAS WIDELY DISSEMINATED TO OUR NETWORKS. A MAJOR EFFORT THIS YEAR WAS DEVELOPING PARTNERSHIPS WITH CIVIC NATIONAL PARTNERS TO BRING A "RELIGION STRATEGY" TO THEIR WORK WHICH HAS BEEN IMPACTED BY CHRISTIAN NATIONALISM AND ITS EFFORTS TO CONTROL PUBLIC POLICY. THESE GROUPS INCLUDE THE AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION, PEN AMERICA, THE SOUTHERN POVERTY LAW CENTER, DEMOCRACY FORWARD, AND THE BRENNAN LAW CENTER. IN PREPARATION FOR THE 2024 ELECTION, A DEFINING MOMENT IN THE FIGHT FOR PLURALISTIC DEMOCRACY AND AGAINST THE RISE OF CHRISTIAN NATIONALISM, INTERFAITH ALLIANCE DEVELOPED THE "DEMOCRACY IS IN THE BALANCE," A NON-PARTISAN, VALUES-DRIVEN ELECTION INITIATIVE. THIS PROGRAM WAS DESIGNED NOT ONLY AS A TIMELY STRATEGY TO COUNTER THESE EMERGING THREATS BUT AS THE CORNERSTONE OF INTERFAITH ALLIANCE'S MISSION TO ACHIEVE DEMOCRACY TOGETHER. RECOGNIZING THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THIS ELECTION, THE INITIATIVE SOUGHT TO EDUCATE, MOBILIZE, AND RESPOND EFFECTIVELY, EMPHASIZING THE VALUES OF RELIGIOUS PLURALISM, CIVIC ENGAGEMENT, AND DEMOCRACY PROTECTION.THE INITIATIVE'S STRATEGIC GOALS WERE AMBITIOUS, BUT EACH BENCHMARK WAS SURPASSED OVER THE COURSE OF 2024. WITH OVER 100,000 CONVERSATIONS WITH VOTERS, NUMEROUS VIRTUAL AND IN-PERSON ELECTION-FOCUSED EVENTS, THE CREATION OF A MESSAGING GUIDE, AND SUBSTANTIAL CONTRIBUTIONS TO PIVOTAL VICTORIES, THE PROGRAM SHOWCASED THE POWER OF ORGANIZED, INTERFAITH ACTION. EDUCATION, NARRATIVE, MEDIA ENGAGEMENT - MANY OF THE POLITICAL AND CULTURAL CONFLICTS PRESENT IN AMERICA INVOLVE THE QUESTION OF HOW RELIGION SHALL FUNCTION IN OUR SOCIETY. INTERFAITH ALLIANCE EMPLOYS ALL THE TOOLS OF COMMUNICATION AVAILABLE IN THIS TECHNOLOGICAL LADEN MOMENT, INCLUDING SOCIAL MEDIA, TARGETED EMAIL, CONTENT PRODUCTION AND A WEEKLY PODCAST, THE STATE OF BELIEF WHERE MAJOR LEADERS FROM VARIED SECTORS DISCUSS THE MOST PRESSING MORAL ISSUES OF THE DAY. WE BUILD INTEGRATED CAMPAIGNS WITH MESSAGES DESIGNED TO BREAK THROUGH NOISE, FRAME ISSUES AND OFFER LANGUAGE THAT GIVES PEOPLE HOPE AND INSPIRES MOBILIZATION AND COLLECTIVE ACTION. THROUGH THESE VARIED OUTLETS, INTERFAITH ALLIANCE REACHES MILLIONS OF PEOPLE EACH YEAR. 1696684 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 12 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 12 12 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 AL AK AR CA CO CT DC FL GA HI IL KS KY ME MD MA MI MN MS NV NH NJ NM NY NC ND OH OK OR PA RI SC TN VA WA WV WI X X ISA HYDE 2024660567 110 MARYLAND AVENUE NE STE 509 WASHINGTON DC 20002 JACOB WORENKLEIN BOARD CHAIR 2.00 X X 0 0 0 JULIE STRATHE BAUGH VICE CHAIR 2.00 X X 0 0 0 CLAUDIA WIEGAND TREASURER 2.00 X X 0 0 0 IQBAL G MAMDANI FINANCE AND AUDIT COMMITTE 2.00 X 0 0 0 SKYE PERRYMAN POLICY CHAIR 2.00 X 0 0 0 CATHERINE CARMODY DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 REV DR DAVID CURRIE DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 REV DR DERRICK HARKINS DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 JAKE SIEWERT DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 SIMRAN SINGH STUELPNAGEL DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 TOM UHLMAN DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 RESHMA SAUJANI DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 REV PAUL RAUSHENBUSH PRESIDENT/CEO 40.00 X 240000 0 13000 REV DR KATHARINE HENDERSON FORMER OFFICER/CONSULTANT 40.00 X 165000 0 0 405000 0 13000 2 1 1 0 REV DR KATHARINE HENDERSON 133 CANAAN RD NEW PALTZ NY 12561 CONSULTING 165000 WEST END STRATEGY 2401 PENNSYLVANIA AVE STE 410 WASHINGTON DC 20037 PUBLIC RELATIONS 133735 MESG 1100 NEW JERSEY AVE SE 2114 WASHINGTON DC 20003 PUBLIC RELATIONS 125705 IMPACTIVE SOLUTIONS INC PO BOX 66099 LOS ANGELES CA 90066 PUBLIC RELATIONS 103472 4 4933 2629102 2634035 100718 100718 0 4933 0 0 2734753 0 0 100718 X 32500 32500 253001 166095 68892 18014 574330 377048 156390 40892 23812 15633 6484 1695 69986 45946 19057 4983 63688 41811 17342 4535 47720 31328 12994 3398 26250 17233 7148 1869 567741 372722 154596 40423 18388 12072 5007 1309 55651 36534 15153 3964 7526 4941 2049 536 60105 39459 16367 4279 109441 71848 29801 7792 21123 13867 5752 1504 4686 3076 1276 334 12653 8307 3445 901 ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION 326787 214536 88984 23267 FIELD OPERATIONS 118592 118592 0 0 DIRECT MAILING 71923 39270 32653 MISCELLANEOUS 20788 13646 5662 1480 30799 20220 8387 2192 2517490 1696684 624786 196020 X 234568 82414 1404820 1916538 160000 60000 104527 59911 13136 2097 21337 6725 14555 14612 10815 11177 212932 161991 2155353 2308740 57166 43702 50772 55398 169791 114393 277729 213493 X 1691787 2050247 185837 45000 1877624 2095247 2155353 2308740 217263 362 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 823144 1341999 1394562 2857841 2634035 9051581 823144 1341999 1394562 2857841 2634035 9051581 4718780 4332801 345 56 6188 37985 100718 145292 202 35 121 358 9197231 0.47110 0.55940 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 21337 6725 14612 14612 SECURITY DEPOSIT 4713 RIGHT OF USE ASSET - OPERATING LEASE 157278 161991 LEASE LIABILITY - OPERATING LEASE 114393 114393 X 2735115 362 362 2734753 0 2734753 2517490 0 2517490 0 2517490 PART X, LINE 2: THE ORGANIZATION IS GENERALLY EXEMPT FROM FEDERAL AND STATE INCOME TAXES UNDER SECTION 501(C)(3) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE.
