This report began as a way to remember and honor the lives lost due to intimate partner violence, and to this day, Violence Free Minnesota is still the only entity in the state that tracks and compiles this data and information. The report expanded in the last 10 years, not just in name, but also to include robust policy recommendations that the coalition believes will reduce homicides in the state if implemented.Violence Free Minnesota also curates the Clothesline Project, an interactive visual memorial to Minnesota's victims of intimate partner homicide. The project, which began in 1992, is created each year by member programs and sometimes family members of the victims. It consists of a t-shirt for each victim killed in a given year, accompanied by a description of that victim's death. Member programs, and other organizations, request to display this project throughout the year at events. 229988 Public Policy/Housing & Economic Justice: Economic justice work through the Allstate Foundation grant took the financial empowerment training and converted it to a five-week, self-directed, on-line course for advocates around the State to access. A companion on-line housing advocacy course was developed in partnership with legal services. The number of domestic violence advocacy programs doing economic empowerment work with survivors has expanded both through increased individual advocacy skills and with dedicated educational groups for survivors. The Survivor Fund provides low barrier access to one-time money to assist with housing stability and credit building has grown. Funded by Allstate Foundation, Pohlad Family Foundation, and Coalition grants. In Spring 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic highlighted all of the gaps and problems that already existed around housing, making them much more visible. 100% of survivors used money granted from the Survivor Fund to secure or maintain housing through generous support from the Pohlad and Allstate Foundations, especially in October, which is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. 88414 22288 VFMN holds regional meetings throughout the year with member programs from each region of the State. These meetings were previously held in-person, at a program located in said region, but have since moved to virtual starting in March 2020. Through these gatherings, VFMN can closely engage with member programs about the issues that impact survivors in their specific geographic areas. Membership is divided into six regions (Central, Southeast, Southwest, Metro area, Northeast, Northwest), and each VFMN staff member is assigned a region, to which they attend meetings and keep in contact with members in their region. Member programs from each of those regions convene three times a year for VFMN regional meetings. At the meetings member programs gather together along with the VFMN Executive Director and representatives from VFMN staff. The purpose of the gatherings are to foster community, relationship building, communication, peer-to-peer learning, and coordination among programs within each region. The meetings are also a time when member programs can connect in a smaller group setting with VFMN staff to share insights into what is happening in their communities and receive updates from VFMN. 1396054 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 1 0 1 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 0 1 10 0 1 12 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 11 11 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 MN X X The Organization 6516466177 60 E Plato Blvd 230 St Paul MN 55107 Kenosha Alexander Chair 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Noushin Shafiee Treasurer 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Kristen Walters Secretary 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Natasha Kingbird Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Amirthini Keefe Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Becci ten Bensel Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Biiftuu Adam Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Aaron Gutzke Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Princess Awa-ada Kisob Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Rebecca St George Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 MayTong Chang Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Guadalupe Lopez Executive Director 40.00 X 95767 0 4783 95767 0 4783 0 0 0 0 0 1057652 828972 8715 1886624 Membership dues 900099 18667 18667 Training revenue 900099 3621 3621 22288 9199 9199 Miscellaneous 900099 1622 1622 1622 1919733 23910 0 9199 78129 78129 198710 198710 117752 108807 7732 1213 461212 432944 23526 4742 87423 73183 13333 907 44396 41519 2423 454 3780 3780 145171 118658 26513 10608 10608 5295 5295 79206 77991 1215 19475 18146 974 355 48912 44367 4545 59501 55973 2975 553 35463 35463 45552 45552 3594 3414 180 8449 7977 391 81 Training materials 28665 28665 In-kind donations 8715 8715 Dues, memberships, and 7816 7233 391 192 Bank charges 4247 4247 1502071 1396054 91010 15007 490962 613771 57530 58840 167957 559909 17682 32480 15321 14300 1282 1021 244352 267865 153456 156878 8333 5000 170869 115433 1312423 1811197 55129 157608 11481 15676 173481 118880 240091 292164 X 686976 769884 385356 749149 1072332 1519033 1312423 1811197 417662 29039 0 X X 0 1 X 1 1 1 X 1988027 1877140 2078502 1073020 1905291 8921980 1988027 1877140 2078502 1073020 1905291 8921980 1085849 7836131 4849 7679 6182 5133 9199 33042 1259 270 129 628 23910 26196 8981218 26196 0.87250 0.96260 X Schedule A, Part II, Line 10, Explanation of Other Income: Miscellaneous - 2019 Amount: $ 1,259. 2020 Amount: $ 270. 2021 Amount: $ 129. 2022 Amount: $ 628. 2023 Amount: $ 1,622.
