Communities are the front line for stopping the dropout crisis and ensuring that young people experience the Five Promises. Our role, as part of building a movement, is to engage communities, support their efforts to increase the presence of the Five Promises, as they seek to end their local dropout crises, and to help them organize their work. 2823431 642444 First Focus - bipartisan advocacy program that is committed to making children and families a priority in federal policy and budget decisions. First Focus brings both traditional and non-traditional leaders together to advocate for federal policies that will improve the lives of America's children. Child health, education, family economics, child welfare, and child safety are the core issue areas in which First Focus promotes bipartisan policy solutions. 2287143 53750 Awareness - As part of what must be an ongoing effort, we continue to raise awareness nationally and locally. We are working to help the nation better recognize the resources all children need, where needs are going unmet, how all Americans are affected, where change needs to occur, and how all Americans can take action and be part of the solution. Ours is an awareness effort that not only informs but motivates our audiences to act. In this way we are building support for positive change. 1624910 62000 Knowledge management 1080275 Relationship development 994209 595000 Alliance building 3699394 657000 14170687 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 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 39 0 1 61 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 X 37 36 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 AL AK AZ AR CA CO CT FL GA HI IL KS KY LA ME MD MA MI MN MO MS NH NJ NM NY NC ND OH OK OR PA RI SC TN UT VA WA WV WI X Donna M Anderson 2026570616 1110 Vermont Avenue NW Washington DC 20005 Alma J Powell 10.00 X X 0 0 0 C Gregg Petersmeyer 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Kathleen A Murphy 1.00 X X 0 0 0 James L Barksdale 1.00 X 0 0 0 Donna Barksdale 1.00 X 0 0 0 Stephanie Bell-Rose 1.00 X 0 0 0 Peter L Benson PhD 1.00 X 0 0 0 Alyssa Bisanz 1.00 X 0 0 0 Katherine Bradley 1.00 X 0 0 0 Neil Bush 1.00 X 0 0 0 Daniel Casey 1.00 X 0 0 0 Raymond G Chambers 1.00 X 0 0 0 Brian Comer 1.00 X 0 0 0 Angela Diaz 1.00 X 0 0 0 David Dukes 1.00 X 0 0 0 Raul Fernandez 1.00 X 0 0 0 Harold Ford 1.00 X 0 0 0 Brian Gallagher 1.00 X 0 0 0 Rev Dr W Wilson Goode Sr 1.00 X 0 0 0 Daniel Hamburger 1.00 X 0 0 0 Latasha Kinnard 1.00 X 0 0 0 Larry A Klane 2.00 X 0 0 0 Joel Klein 1.00 X 0 0 0 Charlene Lake 1.00 X 0 0 0 John E Maupin Jr 1.00 X 0 0 0 Margaret McKenna 1.00 X 0 0 0 Glenn Means 1.00 X 0 0 0 Andrea Mitchell 1.00 X 0 0 0 Michael K Powell 1.00 X 0 0 0 Deborah Quazzo 1.00 X 0 0 0 Edward B Rust 1.00 X 0 0 0 Jin Roy Ryu 1.00 X 0 0 0 Ron Simon 1.00 X 0 0 0 Margaret Spellings 1.00 X 0 0 0 Rick Stephens 1.00 X 0 0 0 Carmita Vaughan 1.00 X 0 0 0 Harris Wofford 1.00 X 0 0 0 Elaine Wynn 1.00 X 0 0 0 Marguerite Kondracke 40.00 X X 356556 0 15517 Ret Gen Colin L Powell 1.00 X 0 0 0 Donna Anderson 40.00 X 197814 0 13267 Bruce Lesley 40.00 X 207169 0 21692 Kathy Spangler 40.00 X 157970 0 6673 David Park 40.00 X 156056 0 10072 Melinda Hudson 40.00 X 172304 0 18983 Carmita Vaughan 40.00 X 154496 0 8406 Ralph Forsht 40.00 X 142556 0 21033 Forrest Moore 40.00 X 141668 0 10305 Matt Alshab 40.00 X 136916 0 17213 1823505 0 143161 10 0 1 0 The Warfield Group 9115 Fox Meadow Lane Potomac MD 20854 Professional Fundraising 450000 Duke University PO Box 90420 Durham NC 27708 Evaluation 400000 Ogilvy Public Relations Worldwide PO Box 7247-7417 Philadelphia PA 191707417 Public Relations Consulting 365674 Gallup Inc PO Box 310284 Des Moines LA 503310284 Research 277500 Cole Design Inc 1408 Seventeenth Avenue South Nashville TN 37212 Graphic Design 249996 15 149500 1988732 23240244 5997 25378476 171634 171634 27802 27802 887092 806353 80739 80739 80739 24000 149500 49451 -25451 -25451 25633200 0 0 254724 2924094 2924094 1142786 477311 665475 3434672 2830700 603972 96311 77170 19141 400358 291799 108559 283591 217266 66325 30579 30579 360562 360562 60000 60000 600000 600000 3182107 3040554 141553 174886 174886 597290 346839 250451 261853 125406 136447 697067 697067 279436 194304 85132 1042745 852836 92024 97885 28644 28644 251961 251961 45299 45299 Miscellaneous 192354 165881 26473 G&A Allocation 0 2451641 -2451641 16086595 14170687 1218023 697885 1000 3469221 4764424 4345662 18592624 25964925 693 2130 89631 93898 2081104 749756 1416582 1331348 3933835 4017496 49568 33479 28848357 39258159 510354 1083849 397404 87000 353984 364475 1091163 1032922 2352905 2568246 X 5818961 8215036 20676491 28474877 26495452 36689913 28848357 39258159 X 9546605 647856 X 0 1 1 X 1 1 X 9375844 24465355 23296734 11660803 25378476 94177212 9375844 24465355 23296734 11660803 25378476 94177212 31920873 62256339 181594 245503 174828 177370 199436 978731 1883 1883 95157826 89048 0.65420 0.77690 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 60000 60000 15329440 15389440 919472 229868 0 0 894668 959037 1000000 919472 3773177 5659766 132062 275959 135986 60000 604007 223667 239759 250000 229868 943294 1414941 1148517 329541 818976 915555 412164 503391 17032 8051 8981 1331348 Deferred rent 1032922 1032922 25633200 16086595 9546605 142856 505000 647856 10194461 25942827 142856 117320 49451 309627 25633200 0 25633200 16253366 117320 49451 166771 16086595 0 16086595 Description of Uncertain Tax Positions Under FIN 48: Part X: America's Promise Alliance performed an evaluation of uncertain tax positions for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, and determined that there were no matters that would require recognition in the financial statements or that may have any effect on its tax-exempt status.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15 The full Board of America's Promise endorses a Compensation Philosophy for the CEO. The compensation philosophy is the guiding framework for CEO compensation. The Board looks to the Executive Committee of the Board to make a specific determination of the CEO's compensation, including base salary, bonuses (if any), and other benefits. This determination is done in the context of the Board's CEO Compensation Philosophy. The Executive Committee's consideration includes an assessment of the CEO's compensation in comparison to relevant universes of peer organizations, the performance of the CEO against objectives and other relevant factors. The Executive Committee of the Board reports to the full Board both its compensation decisions as well as a confirmation that this process was appropriately undertaken to make its determination. The Audit and Finance Committee provides support to the Executive Committee by engaging an independent compensation consultant to conduct a peer review analysis from which recommendations are made. The Audit & Finance committee approves the use of an annual salary compensation survey based on at least three independent surveys. The annual survey, prepared by an independent compensation consultant, includes the position of President and CEO and is available to members of the Executive Committee. The Audit Committee, serving as the Compensation Committee, reviews and approves the compensation of the officers and key employees based on an annual report derived from at least three independent surveys prepared and presented to the Audit & Finance Committee. The Compensation Committee approves the use of the survey data. The decision is documented in the minutes of the Audit & Finance/Compensation Committee.
