FOR EXAMPLE, WE LAUNCHED A NEW VIRTUAL PEER RESOURCE GROUP FOR LGBTQ+ PARENTS OF SCHOOL-AGED CHILDREN TO ACCESS THE SUPPORT THEY NEED TO FACE CHALLENGES IN THEIR CLASSROOM, AND WE HOSTED OUR REINVIGORATED FAMILY WEEKEND IN THE MIDWEST, A WEEKEND OF LGBTQ+ FAMILY FUN AND CONNECTION IN CHICAGO, ILLINOIS. IN ADDITION TO THESE TWO NEW INITIATIVES, WE HOSTED FAMILY WEEK IN PROVINCETOWN, THE LARGEST ANNUAL GATHERING OF LGBTQ+ FAMILIES IN THE WORLD, LGBTQ+ FAMILIES ARE INCREDI-BOWL IN NEW YORK CITY, AND SEVERAL IMPACTFUL GATHERINGS IN WASHINGTON, D.C., MIAMI, NEW JERSEY, AND MORE. IN ADDITION TO THE NEW VIRTUAL PEER RESOURCE GROUP FOR PARENTS OF SCHOOL-AGED CHILDREN, WE CONTINUED HOSTING VIRTUAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR LGBTQ+ FAMILIES TO CONNECT THROUGH OUR TWO BI-WEEKLY PEER SUPPORT SPACES THE TRYING TO CONCEIVE SUPPORT SPACE AND THE TRANS, NONBINARY, GENDER NON-CONFORMING PARENTS SUPPORT SPACE.OUR VIRTUAL AND IN-PERSON EVENTS AND ACTIVITIES THROUGHOUT 2023 PROVIDED HUNDREDS OF FAMILIES THE OPPORTUNITY TO BUILD CONNECTIONS, CREATE RESILIENCE, SHARE IDEAS, ASK QUESTIONS, AND ULTIMATELY, SUPPORT EACH OTHER.SHARING THE STORIES OF LGBTQ+ FAMILIES A KEY PIECE OF FAMILY EQUALITY'S WORK IS ACTING AS A BRIDGE BETWEEN EVERYDAY LGBTQ+ FAMILIES AND THEIR COMMUNITIES. IN 2023, WE SHARED THE STORIES OF OUR FAMILIES THROUGH OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH EQUAL PRIDE, WHERE WE WROTE SEVERAL IMPACTFUL PIECES ABOUT THE FIGHTS LGBTQ+ FAMILIES ARE FACING. WE ALSO BROUGHT THE LGBTQ+ FAMILY VOICE TO THE 60TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE HISTORIC MARCH ON WASHINGTON, WHERE MOVEMENT LEADERS, INCLUDING OUR OWN CEO, SPOKE ON THE STEPS OF THE LINCOLN MEMORIAL THE SAME SPOT WHERE DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. SPOKE ALL THOSE DECADES BEFORE. RECOGNIZING THAT WE CANNOT DO THIS STORYTELLING AND ADVOCACY WORK WITHOUT MAINTAINING A CLEAR PICTURE OF OUR FAMILIES' NEEDS, WE LAUNCHED THE FAMILY EQUITY AND JUSTICE PROJECT, AN INITIATIVE THAT SEEKS TO BETTER SERVE ALL LGBTQ+ FAMILIES PARTICULARLY THOSE WHO ARE BIPOC, LOW-INCOME, AND/OR IN GEOGRAPHICALLY REMOTE AREAS BEGINNING WITH OUR DATA COLLECTION PROJECT. FAMILY IS THE GREAT UNITER AND SHARING THE STORIES ABOUT THE JOYS AND THE CHALLENGES LGBTQ+ FAMILIES FACE HELPS FOSTER UNDERSTANDING AND, WE HOPE, SHIFTS PERSPECTIVES.PROTECTING LGBTQ+ FAMILIESIN 2023, WE CONTINUED OUR EFFORTS TO PROTECT LGBTQ+ FAMILIES THROUGH OUR ADVOCACY AND POLICY WORK AT THE FEDERAL AND STATE LEVELS. ALONGSIDE MOVEMENT PARTNERS, WE PURSUED OUR TRADITION OF LEADING COALITIONS TO SHARE SUBJECT MATTER EXPERTISE, PROVIDE OBJECTIVE EDUCATION, AND ENGAGE IN STORYTELLING TO ADVANCE THE RIGHTS OF LGBTQ+ PEOPLE AND FAMILIES. OUR TIRELESS FOCUS LED MOVEMENT PARTNERS, ALONG WITH STATE AND FEDERAL LEGISLATORS, TO RELY ON FAMILY EQUALITY FOR OUR COALITION BUILDING, LEGISLATIVE TRACKING, OBJECTIVE BILL ANALYSIS, AND RESOURCE CREATION ON MATTERS AFFECTING LGBTQ+ FAMILY FORMATION, MARRIAGE EQUALITY, AND PARENTAL RECOGNITION LAWS IN THE STATES AND FEDERALLY. DUE TO THE HUNDREDS OF ANTI-LGBTQ+ BILLS INTRODUCED IN STATE LEGISLATURES ACROSS THE COUNTRY THROUGHOUT 2023, WE CREATED TOOLS, EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS, EVENTS, AND RESOURCES FOR LGBTQ+ FAMILIES. THOUSANDS OF LGBTQ+ PARENTS AND PARENTS-TO-BE LEARNED ABOUT THEIR RIGHTS AND THEN REACHED OUT TO THEIR ELECTED OFFICIALS TO MAKE THEIR VOICES HEARD AND ENSURE THEIR FAMILY'S PROTECTION AND RECOGNITION. ADDITIONALLY, WE ALSO DEVELOPED RESOURCES TO EMPOWER FAMILIES TO TAKE THE STEPS NECESSARY TO PROTECT THEMSELVES. WE HONORED NATIONAL ADOPTION MONTH WITH THE LAUNCH OF A ROBUST AND COMPREHENSIVE STATE-BY-STATE GUIDE TO STEPPARENT, SECOND PARENT/CO-PARENT, AND CONFIRMATORY ADOPTION SO THAT PARENTS CAN ENSURE THEIR PARENTAL RIGHTS ARE RECOGNIZED AND FULLY PROTECTED NO MATTER WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS. 2107909 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 54 0 1 31 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 22 22 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 DC CA NY X X THE ORGANIZATION 6468803005 475 PARK AVENUE SOUTH 2100 NEW YORK NY 10016 LAUREN MARDER CHAIR, TREASURER 6.75 X X 0 0 0 ALEXIS KANTOR CO CHAIR 6.75 X X 0 0 0 SCOTT GATZ CO CHAIR 6.75 X X 0 0 0 ALEX HABIB CO VICE CHAIR 6.75 X X 0 0 0 BECK FINEMAN CO VICE CHAIR 6.75 X X 0 0 0 KIRK FORDHAM INTERIM CO CHAIR 6.75 X X 0 0 0 NANCY LYONS CHAIR EMERITUS 6.75 X X 0 0 0 WESTON CHARLES-GALLO SECRETARY 6.75 X X 0 0 0 ALVIN MCCRAY GOVERNANCE 6.75 X 0 0 0 CAROLYN BERGER DIRECTOR 4.75 X 0 0 0 STEVE BRISTER DIRECTOR 4.75 X 0 0 0 LUIGI CAIOLA DIRECTOR 4.75 X 0 0 0 DON HRIBEK DIRECTOR 4.75 X 0 0 0 SAMANTHA LIPPITT DIRECTOR 4.75 X 0 0 0 TALISHA BEKAVAC DIRECTOR 4.75 X 0 0 0 ANTHONY HYNES DIRECTOR 4.75 X 0 0 0 VANESSA LEON DIRECTOR 4.75 X 0 0 0 DOUG LONDON DIRECTOR 4.75 X 0 0 0 ALEC MAPA DIRECTOR 4.75 X 0 0 0 JIM OBERGEFELL DIRECTOR 4.75 X 0 0 0 MARK TROLICE DIRECTOR 4.75 X 0 0 0 ADAIR CURTIS DIRECTOR 4.75 X 0 0 0 MARIA BATES DIRECTOR (UNTIL 4/2013) 4.75 X 0 0 0 DENISE HINDS DIRECTOR (UNTIL 9/2023) 4.75 X 0 0 0 MALINA SIMARD-HALM DIRECTOR (UNTIL 9/2023) 4.75 X 0 0 0 STACEY STEVENSON CEO 40.00 X 259210 0 2709 MICHEL DUBOIS CFO (UNTIL 4/2023) 40.00 X 52184 0 2497 MATTHEW RAMSEY CHIEF DEVELOPMENT OFFICER 40.00 X 121245 0 9073 KIM SIMES CHIEF OF STAFF 40.00 X 120710 0 1351 REBECCA WILLMAN VP, COMMUNITY IMPACT AND PROGRAMS 40.00 X 107553 0 9755 TONYA AGNEW VP, COMMUNICATIONS AND MARKETING 40.00 X 103675 0 9691 764577 0 35076 5 0 1 0 0 517565 2156931 2674496 COMMUNITY EVENTS 624100 141585 141585 141585 381 381 940977 517565 429368 511609 511609 87301 3321 83980 83980 3412051 225565 0 511990 200 200 312420 236680 62743 12997 1619458 1042588 261131 315739 14651 9348 2442 2861 172323 115025 27581 29717 156904 104034 26161 26709 7208 7208 34054 34054 3700 3700 351830 185599 142283 23948 15053 15051 2 112511 14413 52279 45819 270279 92971 71496 105812 50274 7413 38822 4039 23504 23504 EVENT EXPENSES 214002 214002 REPAIRS & MAINTENANCE 132618 61800 62706 8112 MISCELLANEOUS 18453 1457 12659 4337 DUES & SUBSCRIPTIONS 17440 3628 13812 2018 2018 3528900 2107909 838881 582110 908786 766974 10595 50372 29243 13480 219936 200490 128753 103900 178657 141946 57866 36711 1355179 1171927 164292 108611 12952 2230 177244 110841 X 880490 883148 297445 177938 1177935 1061086 1355179 1171927 -116849 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 3470929 2989983 2862605 2741448 2674496 14739461 32512 22350 33360 70947 228886 388055 3503441 3012333 2895965 2812395 2903382 15127516 0 0 0 15127516 11578 3038 42 115 381 15154 11578 3038 42 115 381 15154 3515019 3015371 2896007 2812510 2903763 15142670 0.99900 0.99900 0.00100 0.00100 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 2225 1475 3700 3525200 3528900 326445 81611 0 0 314531 302139 309308 326445 1252423 1878635 144422 12389 6980 3700 167491 78633 75535 77327 81611 313106 469659 3429 2225 5654 PART II-A, LINE 1: ORGANIZATIONAL STAFF MEETS WITH MEMBERS OF LEGISLATIVE BODIES BOTH NATIONAL AND STATE IN ORDER TO PROVIDE INFORMATION ON MATTERS OF CONCERN TO LGBTQ FAMILIES. 178657 141946 36711 36711 X 3925807 84388 84388 3841419 -429368 -429368 3412051 4042656 84388 429368 513756 3528900 0 3528900 PART X, LINE 2: THE ORGANIZATION ACCOUNTS FOR UNCERTAINTY IN INCOME TAXES IN ACCORDANCE WITH ASC TOPIC, INCOME TAXES.
