The BWN is the premier channel for partnering and delivering valuable economic opportunities and programs to businesswomen at scale. Currently the BWN operates in three regions: Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) and Middle East and North Africa (MENA), working to achieve broad-based social and economic benefits for society and a more enabling environment for women's economic engagement. The three BWNs include 19 member countries and 10,000 women members.The MENA BWN has hub associations representing 2,500 members in ten countries, whose leaders share a vision for women's economic empowerment in the MENA region. As a Network, they represent a unified voice for women committed to social progress through economic development by embracing the "pay it forward" model of leadership by giving back to their communities, youth, and other women. During 2011, the MENA BWN implemented a total of 78 activities and nine direct grants across 10 participating countries and reaching over 6,100 individuals.In 2011, Africa BWN programs benefited nearly 4,600 women and men. The Africa BWN has six hub associations: Cameroon, Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa, and Uganda. Supported by Vital Voices, these hubs held 37 programs to create enabling environments for women in business and raise awareness of economic issues facing women.In June 2011, the LAC BWN was launched, with Vital Voices' work expanding into an additional three countries in Argentina, Guatemala, and Nicaragua. La Pietra Coalition: The La Pietra Coalition is an innovative, membership-based alliance of leaders from government, corporations, non-governmental organizations, the media, academia, foundations, and civil society which share the belief that addressing the quality of life and role of women in society is critical not only to their businesses, but to our global economy. Serving as advocates and partners to our 100+ members, we are uniting organizations that might not ordinarily work together under a common goal, and highlighting models that have achieved real success in the past. 2765660 543433 Leadership TrainingPeace and Prosperity Initiative: An international team of peace builders working with Israeli Arab and Jewish peers to overcome entrenched social division through cross-cultural dialogue and best practice exchange.Fortune/State Mentoring Program: Vital Voices, through the support and collaboration of U.S. Department of State and in partnership with the FORTUNE Most Powerful Women's Summit, gathered 33 emerging leaders from across the globe to come to the United States for a month long mentorship with top American businesswomen as well as intensive leadership and communications training in Washington, DC and New York City. Vital Voices prepared mentors and mentees for their experiences, provided guidance and served as a resource for successful mentoring models, developed and facilitated both the leadership trainings and meetings with American women leaders in Washington as well as the debrief and communications/media training in New York. Vital Voices also maintains the alumnae network through communication, resources, further participation in Vital Voices programs and connects them with other leaders in the Vital Voices Network. Vital Voices has helped 2010 alumnae by assisting them in organizing their own mentoring programs, provided them with grant opportunities and further trained several of them through regional programs.Entrepreneurs in Handcrafts: Small and Medium Enterprise (SME) development programming includes the Entrepreneurs in Handcrafts (EinH) program, which provides capacity-building support to women SME owners in the handcraft sector. Since the program's inception, Vital Voices and its partners have trained and supported approximately 200 high-potential entrepreneurs from 37 countries, with the typical participant employing an average of 32 workers, who in turn, impact another 101 indirect beneficiaries. In addition, the EinH program has conducted two training-of-trainer workshops, the first in Tunisia in 2010, and the second in Uganda in 2011, training a total of 34 participants. 1297793 411747 Human Rights and Anti-TraffickingIn 2011, human rights programming directly reached 632 women and men in trainings to combat violence against women and girls. Since late 2010, Vital Voices programs have reached over 600 women and men leaders engaged in efforts to combat violence against women and girls. Vital Voices successfully expanded its human rights portfolio over the course of the past 18 months in two key ways: by establishing a new donor relationship with the U.S. government; and significantly increasing program activities, nearly doubling the number of impacted women and men leaders combating violence against women in just the first six months of 2011 compared to the number trained throughout all of 2010.In partnership with Arizona State University and the Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law, Vital Voices launched the first mentoring and leadership program for ten outstanding international leaders in our Global Partnership to End Violence Against Women (GPEVAW), a partnership that was launched in 2010 in collaboration with the U.S. State Department and Avon Foundation. In addition to celebrating the success of the 2010 GPEVAW grants to Vital Voices' partners in India and Argentina, Vital Voices awarded eleven new grants to members of 11 different GPEVAW country delegations to undertake projects ranging from awareness raising to research to law enforcement training to improving services in the areas of domestic violence, sexual violence, and human trafficking. On the regional level, Vital Voices developed and implemented working sessions in Argentina and South Africa, piloted a program on NGO sustainability in Cambodia, and added human rights content to the launch of the Latin America and Caribbean Businesswomen's Network. The past year's activities also included the implementation of the Cameroon Initiative to Combat Human Trafficking, a grant-supported project with the U.S. State Department's Office to Combat and Monitor Trafficking in Person's, as well as Vital Voices' efforts surrounding the renewal of the U.S.'s Trafficking Victims Protection Act. 319553 Public Engagement and Awareness 319553 7882525 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 58 0 1 54 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 X 34 34 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 CA IL MD MA NY NC PA VA WA X X Alyse Nelson 2028612625 1625 Massachusetts Avenue NW 300 Washington DC 20036 Susan Ann Davis 8.00 X X 0 0 0 Bobbie Greene McCarthy 8.00 X X 0 0 0 Jaspal Bindra 1.00 X 0 0 0 Beth Brooke 1.00 X 0 0 0 Paul Charron 1.00 X 0 0 0 Tia Cudahy 1.00 X 0 0 0 Deborah Dingell 1.00 X 0 0 0 Paula Dobriansky 1.00 X 0 0 0 Sonnie Dockser 1.00 X 0 0 0 Samia Farouki 1.00 X 0 0 0 Sally Field 1.00 X 0 0 0 Carly Fiorina 1.00 X 0 0 0 Mary C Foerster 1.00 X 0 0 0 Nancy Folger 1.00 X 0 0 0 Baroness Mary Goudie 1.00 X 0 0 0 Karen Otazo Hofmeister 1.00 X 0 0 0 Lorie Jackson 1.00 X 0 0 0 Kate James 1.00 X 0 0 0 Amb Craig Johnstone 1.00 X 0 0 0 Nancy Kamel 1.00 X 0 0 0 Alice Kandell 1.00 X 0 0 0 Carol Lancanster 1.00 X 0 0 0 Marlene Malek 1.00 X 0 0 0 Suzanne McCarron 1.00 X 0 0 0 Judith McHale 1.00 X 0 0 0 Donna McLarty 1.00 X 0 0 0 V Sue Molina 1.00 X 0 0 0 Susan Ness 1.00 X 0 0 0 Dina Habib Powell 1.00 X 0 0 0 Victoria Sant 1.00 X 0 0 0 Roselyne Swig 1.00 X 0 0 0 Kathleen Vaughan 1.00 X 0 0 0 Diane Von Furstenberg 1.00 X 0 0 0 Mary Yerrick 1.00 X 0 0 0 Alyse Nelson 55.00 X 174120 0 7250 Alvin Allgood 50.00 X 6346 0 712 Christopher Carr 50.00 X 77411 0 7463 Cynthia Dyer 45.00 X 125514 0 11907 Maria Pena 45.00 X 112432 0 5561 Sandra Taylor 45.00 X 147707 0 6980 643530 0 39873 4 0 1 1 Hundredth Monkey Collective LLC 2457 Myrtle Avenue Hermosa Beach CA 90254 Film directing, production 163889 M2Works LLC 1250 Lamplighter Way Reston VA 20194 Program advertising 158966 STRATEGIESSARL Siege BP 3940 Douala Sis 322 Rue Bonamandone CM Field / regional support 144368 John Kennedy Ctr for the Performing Art 2700 F Street NW Washington DC 20566 Gala venue 141597 Aaron Kisner 458 7th Avenue Apartment 1 Brooklyn NY 11215 Film directing, production 138535 6 1233593 1495714 5642911 8372218 351 351 92790 1233593 558697 -465907 -465907 Other revenue 900099 5652 5652 5652 7912314 0 0 -459904 150586 150586 1245333 1245333 273302 273302 2284857 1678802 455464 150591 38911 27807 8579 2525 147184 105147 32490 9547 180299 118954 50545 10800 8000 7400 600 50503 50503 1603729 1532377 27904 43448 132328 53401 77453 1474 102063 70752 31311 458498 458498 1977264 1881793 81031 14440 469555 467488 1482 585 23831 23831 25432 25432 Other expenses 135087 30078 101158 3851 Printing/reproduction 61319 32619 24121 4579 Receptions and events 3204 1150 2054 G&A allocation 0 478838 -494612 15774 9371285 7882525 1229092 259668 1932457 2416398 203035 1317639 6446620 2992554 85749 52256 28916 17576 35945 184605 258062 203437 47325 54625 8780047 7035653 792484 556920 196192 53333 13884 3828 41050 144106 1043610 758187 X 1279059 1525047 6457378 4752419 7736437 6277466 8780047 7035653 -1458971 0 X 0 1 1 X 1 1 X 6505717 5869149 12364089 9833237 8372218 42944410 6505717 5869149 12364089 9833237 8372218 42944410 11085237 31859173 39474 21559 3281 1409 351 66074 9199 243 9173 3575 5652 27842 43038326 445070 0.74030 0.71100 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 15214 6520 21734 9349551 9371285 618564 154641 0 0 492886 540822 611265 618564 2263537 3395306 11966 21734 33700 123222 135206 611265 154641 1024334 1536501 598 15214 15812 0 1 224497 203437 21060 33565 33565 54625 Deferred rent 144106 144106 7912314 9371285 -1458971 -1458971 8520595 49584 558697 608281 7912314 0 7912314 9979566 49584 558697 608281 9371285 0 9371285 Part IV, Line 2b: As of December 31, 2011 Vital Voices held $3,828 on behalf of others.
