The Center focuses on major policy areas of importance to women and their families including education, employment, family economic security, and health, with special attention given to the concerns of low-income women. 0 0 2130925 Reproductive Rights and Health: We protected the health care of millions of women and their families. For example, we actively participated in successful efforts to defeat repeal of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) though public education efforts documenting the devastating harm that would accrue to women in proposed repeal-and-replace bills. We combatted proposed changes to Medicaid - including changes to its financing structure and proposals for work requirements - that threatened the health and economic security of many women of color struggling to make ends meet, including by releasing a report documenting Medicaid's role in directly supporting 4.4 million jobs for women across the country. We successfully combatted efforts to permit the denial of health care and other benefits and legal protections on the grounds of religion, including by 1) engaging in public education efforts that resulted in the defeat of the Russell Amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which would have put women, LGBTQ people, and religious minorities at risk by allowing organizations and companies receiving federal grants or contracts to receive a religious exemption from complying with employment discrimination laws, and 2) more broadly, sharing with policymakers and advocates in a series of briefings and webinars the results of a poll we commissioned that found strong public support for rejecting religious exemption laws and for enacting new laws that ensure women receive the health care they need, including abortion. We protected the right under federal regulations to health care coverage of birth control, including by 1) joining with Americans United for the Separation of Church and State in representing students challenging Notre Dame University's refusal of birth control coverage, 2) filing an FOIA request with the U.S. Department of Justice for documents relating to the ways in which the Department is defending the birth control benefit in ongoing lawsuits challenging the benefit, and 3) educating stakeholders about threats to continued birth control coverage through analyses, social media, and speeches. We responded to signals that the Trump Administration planned to roll back strong implementing regulations for Section 1557, a section of the ACA that we were successful in obtaining and that prohibits sex discrimination in federally funded health care, including by filing three FOIA requests with the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) for documents relating to the agency's enforcement of this provision. 3290391 88050 Income Security and Education: We protected and advanced the rights and opportunities of women and girls to secure a meaningful education, including by monitoring and enforcing schools' adherence to the requirements of Title IX of the Education Amendments, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in federally funded education programs. For example, we worked to enforce Title IX's protections for survivors of sexual harassment and assault by 1) filing three lawsuits against a Pennsylvania school district challenging its compliance with Title IX on behalf of survivors of harassment and assault who were pushed out of school , and 2) successfully suing the U.S. Department of Education to obtain documents under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) on the way the Department is handling sexual harassment complaints as part of an effort to improve the handling of those complaints. We worked to advance the legal argument that discrimination against individuals on the basis of their sexual orientation or sexual identify is sex discrimination prohibited by Title IX, including by filing a friend-of-the-court brief in the U.S. Supreme Court in Grimm v. Gloucester County School Board in support of the decision of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit that Title IX prohibits discrimination against transgender students, and by engaging in related efforts with women's rights and reproductive justice organizations to educate the public about Title IX's protections for transgender students. We launched the Let Her Learn campaign, a multi-year public education campaign to highlight and eliminate the barriers that girls, particularly girls of color, face in school and to promote school policies that set them up for academic success; the campaign materials were viewed more than 7 and a half million times, and has sparked advocacy efforts at the state level, including in Connecticut and Nebraska. We advanced the economic security of women and their families by protecting and securing improvements in key public benefit programs. For example, we secured a $95 million increase in funding for the Child Care and Development Block Grant in the FY 2017 final federal budget and laid the groundwork for still more significant increases in the FY 2018 federal budget by launching the Child Care Now campaign with 150 national and local organizations in a multi-year effort to educate policymakers and the public about the need to invest in high-quality child care, including though convening monthly meetings of the national organizations, distributing weekly updates on child care developments to 300+ state child care advocates, engaging in social media outreach, convening roundtables with business leaders, child care advocates and local officials on the importance of investing in child care, and briefing both federal and state policymakers on the key child care issues needing attention. As the debate on federal taxes increased in the second half of the fiscal year, we educated advocates, policymakers and the public about the impact of proposed budget and tax plans on women and their families, including through 1) analyses of proposals, speeches at rallies, conference calls for thousands of advocates, webinars and conferences for hundreds of individuals, and expanded email and social media efforts, and 2) serving as a key organizer of a national march of about two million people that highlighted the need for tax policies to help those most in need, including women and children. 3036705 500 Workplace Justice and Women's Legal Rights: We worked to enforce, protect and advance the legal protections against sex discrimination in employment. For example, we played a key role in securing from the Obama Administration federal requirements that employers with 100 or more employees submit pay data by gender, race, ethnicity, and job category to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), giving the EEOC the ability to better identify possible pay discrimination and incentivizing employers to address race and gender wage gaps in their own workplaces. We led successful opposition to the Trump Administration's proposal to eliminate the U.S. Department of Labor's Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs, a leading federal civil rights agency, which is charged with ensuring non-discrimination by federal contractors. We advanced the rights of pregnant workers, including by filing a nationwide class action lawsuit under the Pregnancy Discrimination Act on behalf of women working at Wal-Mart who were denied accommodations for temporary physical limitations arising from pregnancy, 2) pressed the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission to continue to prioritize enforcement of pregnancy accommodation cases, and 3) continued to educate and engage key stakeholders about the need for additional protections for pregnant workers and the proposed federal Pregnant Workers Fairness Act. More broadly, we provided technical assistance, information, and analyses to state-based advocates and policymakers working to secure or advance equal pay, fair scheduling, and pregnant worker fairness measures in numerous states, including Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Massachusetts, Maryland, New Jersey, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina, Vermont, Washington, and in New York City, resulting in improvements in seven states and two cities. 8458021 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 19 0 1 80 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 X 26 24 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 AL AK AR CA CT FL GA HI IL KS KY MD MA MI MN MS NH NJ NM NY NC OK OR PA RI SC TN UT VA WV WI X X The Organization 2025885180 11 Dupont Circle NW 800 Washington DC 20036 Jane Sherburne Chair 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Thurgood Marshall Jr Secretary/Treasurer 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Kim Askew Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Nina Beattie Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Brooksley Born Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Stephen M Cutler Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Theresa L Davis Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Natalia Delgado Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Danielle C Gray Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Anita F Hill Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Sherrilyn Ifill Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Elaine R Jones Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Eileen Kirlin Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Jonathan A Knee Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Deborah Slaner Larkin Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Nancy C Loeb Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 John W Martin Jr Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Judith A Maynes Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Jayma M Meyer Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Nicole Rabner Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Anthony D Romero Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Shirley Sagawa Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Elizabeth H Shuler Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Elisse B Walter Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Marcia D Greenberger Co-President/Director 37.40 0.10 X X 405525 297 77927 Nancy Campbell Co-President/Director 37.40 0.10 X X 401260 1800 88178 Niesa Halpern VP for Admin and Finance 37.40 0.10 X 176031 600 38066 Emily Martin VP & General Counsel 37.40 0.10 X 175801 1 16866 Karen Schneider VP - Communications 37.50 X 173009 0 29405 Fatima Goss Graves VP - Education & Employment 37.50 X 169638 0 47804 Gretchen Borchelt VP - Reproductive Rights and Health 37.50 X 157061 0 42834 Helen Blank Dir Child Care & Early 37.50 X 179406 0 24223 Nancy Withbroe VP - Development/Strategy 37.50 X 140206 0 21845 Christopher Hatty Director of IT and Operations 37.50 X 131723 0 7593 Andrea Koeppel Controller 37.50 X 117191 0 22440 Jodi Michael Vice President for Development 37.50 X 115288 0 23602 2342139 2698 440783 15 0 1 0 0 924301 10527679 232751 11451980 Contract income 900099 47000 47000 Conference income 900099 30725 30725 Honoraria 900099 10825 10825 88550 541676 495 541181 162268 0 162268 162268 162268 4390604 4404549 -13945 -13945 -13945 171625 924301 284770 -113145 -113145 Miscellaneous income 900099 141 141 141 12117525 88691 495 576359 2190298 1678201 374663 137434 4226129 3332941 576864 316324 166828 130145 22758 13925 728366 580885 103778 43703 383028 298806 52251 31971 30645 30645 31693 31693 86464 86464 788908 782490 2801 3617 197734 174671 5544 17519 182514 142505 17752 22257 1148307 894533 140466 113308 99967 95827 2262 1878 89100 88272 800 28 26400 21876 2357 2167 19025 14821 2327 1877 Subscriptions/Pubs. 88454 77967 36 10451 Professional Dues/Regs. 80730 65974 11998 2758 Miscellaneous 31803 30658 310 835 Indirect cost alloc. 0 47449 -47449 10596393 8458021 1434076 704296 X 316336 248918 0 67418 329691 42079 5669580 7051260 2182075 4030278 123959 41407 290207 311197 1876529 1140860 878343 735669 32349228 35172179 50792 39292 26590 25925 41900465 47449286 555552 704302 115873 29759 2534698 2509594 3206123 3243655 X 11098099 12260751 8413348 12761985 19182895 19182895 38694342 44205631 41900465 47449286 1521132 3990157 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 13731500 7241022 4900595 9373746 11451980 46698843 13731500 7241022 4900595 9373746 11451980 46698843 17318461 29380382 648889 660541 747731 797959 703449 3558569 23051 23051 2602 2394 2212 1937 141 9286 50289749 771392 0.58420 0.59240 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 121303 179052 300355 10177881 10478236 673912 168478 0 0 687090 665413 622862 673912 2649277 3973916 382385 426915 395138 300355 1504793 171773 166353 155716 168478 662320 993480 146350 84707 125082 121303 477442 22750905 3076113 1055259 24771759 23843879 -151561 941413 22750905 23694150 933997 784268 23843879 15693333 6000000 2753855 753038 23694150 14281953 94390 2025286 708296 15693333 0.77440 0.22560 0 0 1332699 602230 730469 543830 538630 5200 735669 Pooled Equity Fund 24073785 F Pooled Bond Fund 9326187 F Private capital investment 502413 F Cash held in investment accounts 1269794 F 35172179 Deferred compensation 928117 Sub-tenant security deposit 10719 Deferred rent and incentive allowance 1570758 2509594 X Part V, Line 4: The endowment is intended to generate income for the general support of the center.

The Center's outside legal counsel then reviews the document as needed to answer questions. The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors thereafter reviews the document, and it is then provided to all members of the Board of Directors before it is filed. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c Each year, members of the Board of Directors and key employees are required to complete a form disclosing any interests that may give rise to a conflict of interest. These forms are used to help determine issues on which potential conflicts might arise. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15 An outside consultant analyzes compensation of officers and key employees based on the annual national and Washington, DC area survey data on compensation comparability from the PRM Consulting Management Compensation Report, Not-For-Profit Organizations. The survey includes a wide range of organizations, and it gives results according to budget size that are highly correlated to compensation rates. As part of the analysis, the outside consultant reviews the Center's benefits for reasonableness and in comparison to other comparable organizations. The compensation information in the 990s of organizations similar to the Center is also reviewed for comparability. For FY 16-17 (and the prior fiscal year's salary, a portion of which is included in calendar year Schedule J information), the Co-presidents made recommendations to the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors on what the compensation of high-level employees should be, based on the outside consultant's report, for approval by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee also determined the compensation of the Co-Presidents, based on the outside consultant's report and the compensation information from the 990s of similar organizations. All deliberations and decisions of the compensation committee are reflected in contemporaneously drafted and approved minutes of the committee. In the case of the Co-Presidents' compensation for FY 16-17, the Center also engaged a consultant who specializes in retirement- related compensation to create a compensation plan for the Co-Presidents' final terms as co-presidents. They performed an in-depth review of peer organizations and created a compensation plan that was reviewed by outside counsel prior to extensive deliberation by the Center's Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee also consulted with other members of the Board of Directors prior to setting the Co-President's final compensation for FY 17-18. Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19 The Center's articles of incorporation are available for public examination at the office of the District of Columbia Corporations Division. The Center's audited financial statements are available on its website. The Center makes available its governing documents and conflict of interest policy upon request, but, in accordance with applicable law, reserves the right to withhold this information in its discretion.
