OUR WORK RECOGNIZES THAT THE CHALLENGES FACING THE NEXT GENERATION ARE TOO COMPLEX AND INTERRELATED FOR ANY ONE ORGANIZATION OR INSTITUTION TO SOLVE ALONE. AMERICA'S PROMISE ALLIANCE BRINGS POWERFUL COLLECTIVES TOGETHER TO WORK ON THE MOST IMPORTANT ISSUES FACING THE NEXT GENERATION. 0 0 3786653 140417 ALLIANCE FOR IMPACT- LAUNCHED DURING 2022, OUR REIMAGINED ALLIANCE IS AN INDEPENDENT "BY US, FOR US" PRACTITIONERS' COMMUNITY THAT BRINGS THE MOST INSPIRING YOUTH-SUPPORTING ORGANIZATIONS ACROSS THE COUNTRY TOGETHER TO STRENGTHEN INDIVIDUAL ORGANIZATIONS, TO LAUNCH NEW COLLABORATIONS, AND TO BUILD POWERFUL COALITIONS IN PURSUIT OF SYSTEMIC CHANGE. EACH MEMBER ORGANIZATION ENROLLS UP TO FIVE SENIOR LEADERS IN OUR ALLIANCE COMMUNITY AND ALL LEADERS HAVE ACCESS TO LEADERSHIP COHORTS, STRATEGIC SUPPORT, KNOWLEDGE SHARING AND CAPACITY BUILDING PROGRAMMING, THE OPPORTUNITY TO DESIGN NATIONAL RESEARCH, AND THE OPPORTUNITY TO JOIN SYSTEMIC CHANGE COALITIONS. OUR PROGRAMMING IS DESIGNED TO BE RESPONSIVE TO WHAT OUR MEMBER ORGANIZATIONS SAY THEY WANT AND NEED AND INTENTIONALLY LEVERAGES THE WISDOM AND EXPERTISE THAT ALREADY LIVES IN OUR MEMBER ORGANIZATIONS AND LEADERS. WE FOCUS ON OUR MOST IMPORTANT SHARED PRIORITIES, WE LEARN FROM EACH OTHER, AND WE DESIGN TOGETHER. LAST YEAR WE LAUNCHED THE REIMAGINED ALLIANCE COMMUNITY WITH 50 FOUNDING MEMBER ORGANIZATIONS AND ROLLED OUT PROGRAMMING FOCUSED ON ORGANIZATIONAL IMPROVEMENT TO SUPPORT OVER 200 LEADERS IN OUR COMMUNITY. 90492 3725 THE POWER OF YOUTH CHALLENGE IS A YOUTH-DESIGNED GRANT PROGRAM, OFFERED BY AMERICA'S PROMISE ALLIANCE, THAT PROVIDES FUNDING FOR YOUTH-LED SERVICE PROJECTS ACROSS THE U.S. TO DATE, WE HAVE AWARDED MORE THAN 500 GRANTS TO YOUNG PEOPLE. NOW IN ITS 4TH YEAR, THE POWER OF YOUTH CHALLENGE PROVIDES YOUNG PEOPLE AGES 13-19 WITH A LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT AND SERVICE OPPORTUNITY TO IDENTIFY AND ADDRESS A NEED IN THEIR COMMUNITY AND BEYOND. 6650 ANTI-RACIST ALLIANCE- IN 2020, AMERICA'S PROMISE ALLIANCE MADE A COMMITMENT TO WORK WITH YOUTH-SUPPORTING ORGANIZATIONS AND YOUNG PEOPLE TO ADDRESS INSTITUTIONAL AND SYSTEMIC RACISM WITHIN OUR ORGANIZATIONS AND THE BROADER FIELD. THE ANTI-RACIST ALLIANCE IS A GROUP OF 14 YOUTH-SUPPORTING ORGANIZATIONS THAT HAVE BEEN ACTIVELY WORKING TOGETHER SINCE 2020 TO MAKE THIS COMMITMENT A REALITY. THE ANTI-RACIST ALLIANCE HAS ESTABLISHED FOUR WORK GROUPS TO ANALYZE WHAT WE AS ORGANIZATIONS CAN DO TO STOP PERPETUATING RACISM AND STRUCTURES THAT INCLUDE WHITE SUPREMACY IN KEY AREAS: ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE & NORMS, POLICY & ADVOCACY, ORGANIZATIONAL PRACTICES & PROGRAMMING, AND RESEARCH. OUR WORKING GROUPS SEEK TO PROVIDE ACTIONABLE STRATEGIES AND RESOURCES TO SUPPORT A MORE AFFIRMING, EQUITABLE, AND ANTI-RACIST PATH FORWARD. WE ARE A MIX OF ORGANIZATIONS THAT HAVE ALREADY MADE LEADING-EDGE STRATEGIC INVESTMENTS IN THIS WORK AND HAVE MUCH TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE SECTOR, WHILE OTHERS HAVE MORE RECENTLY BEEN EXAMINING THEIR PRACTICES AND CONSIDERING CHANGES IN THEIR APPROACHES. THIS WORK WILL CULMINATE IN PUBLIC COMMITMENTS TO ACTION THAT OUR ORGANIZATIONS WILL TAKE TO EMBRACE ANTI-RACIST POLICIES AND PRACTICES THAT LEAD TO BETTER ENVIRONMENTS AND OUTCOMES FOR YOUTH. 855715 855715 4739510 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 24 0 1 32 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 11 11 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 X AMERICA'S PROMISE-THE ALLIANCE FOR YOUTH 2026570600 1110 VERMONT AVENUE NW SUITE 900 WASHINGTON DC 20005 ALMA J POWELL CHAIR EMERITUS 1.00 X X 0 0 0 C GREGG PETERSMEYER CHAIR 10.00 X X 0 0 0 MICHAEL K POWELL VICE CHAIR 1.00 X X 0 0 0 STEFANIE SANDFORD VICE CHAIR 1.00 X X 0 0 0 JENNIFER LOWE SECRETARY 1.00 X X 0 0 0 PAUL LUNA TREASURER 1.00 X X 0 0 0 JOE LOUIS BARROW BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 MICHAEL BROWN BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 SOPHIA HALA CHIN BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 JAHARI SHELTON BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 JAVIER SOTO BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 TRINITY WOODSON BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 MICHAEL O'BRIEN CEO 40.00 X 430414 0 34933 ARTHUR MILLS IV COO 40.00 X 273470 0 16865 DANIELLA MORELLO LONG CHEIF OF STAFF 40.00 X 187025 0 25126 SYLVIA WONG SENIOR DIRECTOR, RESOURCE 40.00 X 151160 0 33566 AMY MENDOZA SENIOR DIRECTOR, TALENT & 40.00 X 150646 0 29135 PARVATHI SANTHOSH-KUMAR VP, COMMUNITY IMPACT 40.00 X 196665 0 25782 NITHI THOMAS VP, ALLIANCE PROGRAMMING 40.00 X 180060 0 7135 SADIQ ALI VP, ALLIANCE COMMUNITY 40.00 X 170060 0 6288 1739500 0 178830 8 0 1 0 PROJECT EVIDENT 501 BLYLSTON STREET FLOOR 10 BOSTON MA 02116 PROGRAMMATIC EXPERTISE SERVICES 165000 CITRIN COOPERMAN & COMPANY LLP 50 ROCKEFELLER PLAZA NEW YORK NY 10020 ACCOUNTING & ADVISORY SERVICES 157258 COMMUNITY IT INNOVATORS PO BOX 220278 CHANTILLY VA 20153 IT SERVICES 135325 3 140417 3961792 4102209 457293 457293 30577 30310 267 267 267 OTHER 900099 1000 1000 1000 4560769 1000 0 457560 X 3725 3725 967834 462821 385664 119349 2233119 1573552 496334 163233 53322 33752 14324 5246 259778 172916 71640 15222 214904 138520 58321 18063 18106 18106 386820 386820 31689 31689 915680 660575 238755 16350 121118 10338 109502 1278 212316 53844 158472 718615 718615 237867 30663 205529 1675 119191 47170 72015 6 1072 1072 122865 21519 101346 59535 59535 COMMUNICATIONS & MARKET 73855 73855 MISCELLANEOUS 29950 4178 25772 G&A ALLOCATION 0 663105 -736034 72929 ALLOCATION OF INFORMATI 0 171441 -197172 25731 617536 -699710 82174 6781361 4739510 1520595 521256 4653232 867864 2310416 2072334 85998 141086 971829 362725 682243 609104 10195844 12267308 5364378 4705526 23292111 20663222 196667 359067 58333 127917 6638192 5882629 6893192 6369613 X 14577752 12478835 1821167 1814774 16398919 14293609 23292111 20663222 -2220592 115282 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 5621490 4976605 7730001 14038677 3763047 36129820 5621490 4976605 7730001 14038677 3763047 36129820 18505311 17624509 113630 68516 7422 58960 457293 705821 2000 554 24167 1000 27721 36863362 834502 0.47810 0.46690 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 673515 146706 526809 298314 216019 82295 609104 MEMBERSHIP DUES RECEIVABLE 17500 RIGHT OF USE ASSET - OFFICE LEASE 4688026 4705526 CAPITAL LEASE OBLIGATION 8519 OPERATING LEASE LIABILITY 5874110 5882629 X 4649101 115282 4739 120021 4529080 31689 31689 4560769 6754411 4739 4739 6749672 31689 31689 6781361 PART X, LINE 2: AMERICA'S PROMISE ALLIANCE PERFORMED AN EVALUATION OF UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2023 AND 2022 AND DETERMINED THAT THERE WERE NO MATTERS THAT WOULD REQUIRE RECOGNITION IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OR THAT WAY HAVE ANY EFFECT ON ITS TAX-EXEMPT STATUS. 1 POWER OF YOUTH AWARDS 132 3725 PART I, LINE 2: AMERICA'S PROMISE REQUIRES THAT ALL ORGANIZATIONS RECEIVING GRANTS AGREE TO SCOPES OF WORK AND BUDGETS, SUBMIT WORK PLANS, AND REPORT FINANCIAL AND PROGRAM PROGRESS DURING THE PERFORMANCE PERIOD AND AT THE CONCLUSION OF THE AGREEMENT.
