WE HAD AN ESPECIALLY SUCCESSFUL YEAR IN 2023 IN THE SOUTHERN STATES: MISSISSIPPI PASSED ITS FIRST EVER PILLARS: MANDATORY TESTING OF NEW KITS AND VICTIMS' RIGHT TO KNOW THE STATUS OF THEIR KIT LAWS. LOUISIANA PASSED A TRACKING SYSTEM BILL. ALABAMA PASSED AN INVENTORY BILL, AND THUS WILL COUNT ITS UNTESTED KITS FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER. COLORADO ENACTED A TRACKING SYSTEM LAW, JOINING THE LIST OF FULL REFORM STATES. MANY STATES MADE SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENTS IN TESTING BACKLOGGED KITS AND CREATING TRACKING SYSTEMS. OVERALL, THE 26 BILLS PASSED THIS YEAR TOUCHED THE LIVES OF 145 MILLION PEOPLE. IN TOTAL, 14 STATES ALLOCATED $57,550,599 IN TOTAL FOR RAPE KIT REFORM THIS YEAR ALONE. THE POLICY TEAM FREQUENTLY PROVIDES TECHNICAL POLICY ASSISTANCE TO VARIOUS INDIVIDUALS, ADVOCATES AND ORGANIZATIONS AT THE STATE, LOCAL AND FEDERAL LEVELS. THIS INCLUDES PROVIDING BACKGROUND MATERIALS, ADVICE ON DRAFTING BILL LANGUAGE, REVISING AND ADVISING ON LEGISLATIVE LANGUAGE, AND PROVIDING POLICY MEMOS ABOUT THE NEEDS OF SURVIVORS. IN 2023, WE PROVIDED TECHNICAL SUPPORT TO EIGHT STATES IN THE FORM OF MEMOS, FACT SHEETS, BILL DRAFTS, LETTERS OF SUPPORT, AND TESTIMONIES. IN APRIL 2023, WE WERE AWARDED WITH THE WEBBY PEOPLE'S CHOICE AWARD IN THE LAW CATEGORY FOR OUR WEBSITE WE HAD BUILT THE PREVIOUS YEAR, WWW.ENDTHEBACKLOG.ORG. THE NEW WEBSITE ALLOWS EASIER ACCESS TO OUR RESOURCES WITH A MORE INTERACTIVE INTERPHASE. THE POLICY TEAM CONTINUES ITS WORK TO IMPLEMENT BACKEND AUTOMATION TO ENHANCE WEBSITE UPDATE EFFICIENCY, TO SAVE THE POLICY TEAM HOURS OF WORK EVERY YEAR, AND TO AVOID HUMAN ERROR. WE HAVE BEEN ACTIVELY EXPLORING ALTERNATIVE MEANS OF ELEVATING OUR MESSAGING ABOUT OUR WORK ADDRESSING RAPE KIT REFORM AND SHARING SURVIVOR NARRATIVES. THIS YEAR, WE HAVE DELVED INTO THE IDEA OF PRODUCING A SERIES OF PODCAST EPISODES TO HIGHLIGHT BOTH SUCCESS STORIES AND THE CHALLENGES FACED WITHIN THIS FIELD. WE ARE LOOKING AT STARTING WITH TWO PODCAST EPISODES, ONE ON THE BACKLOG AND ONE ON IMAGE BASED SEXUAL ABUSE (IBSA), SUBJECT TO CHANGE. THIS YEAR, WE ALSO HELD AND ATTENDED IN-PERSON EVENTS TO RAISE THE PUBLIC AWARENESS ON RAPE KIT ISSUES. WE HELD A TWO-DAY EVENT WITH A PANEL DISCUSSION AND A TRAINING IN MAINE ON RAPE KIT REFORM WITH EXPERTS FROM THE FIELD. WE HAD 100 PARTICIPANTS BOTH DAYS INCLUDING THE STATE CRIME LAB DIRECTOR, FORENSIC ANALYSTS, ADVOCATES, SANES, POLICE OFFICERS, LAWYERS, PROSECUTORS, AND ELECTED OFFICIALS. IN NEW YORK, WE SPOKE AT A PRESS EVENT FOR THE ADULT SURVIVORS ACT, ALONGSIDE OTHER ADVOCACY ORGANIZATIONS AND ELECTED OFFICIALS, AND ATTENDED A SCREENING OF THE NEW DOCUMENTARY, "THIS IS WHERE I LEARNED NOT TO SLEEP AND SPOKE ON THE PANEL AFTERWARDS. WE ALSO SPOKE ABOUT THE NY STATE RAPE KIT TRACKING SYSTEM, ITS IMPACT ON HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS AND VICTIMS AT AN INFORMATIVE MEETING WITH HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS HOSTED BY THE NEW YORK CITY ALLIANCE AGAINST SEXUAL ASSAULT. THIS YEAR, THE POLICY TEAM ALSO SUPPORTED THE DEBBIE SMITH ACT, THE SHIELD ACT, THE BIPARTISAN RAPE KIT BACKLOG PROGRESS ACT, AND THE SAKI APPROPRIATIONS AT THE FEDERAL. DEBBIE SMITH ACT PROVIDES A FEDERAL GRANT PROGRAM THAT PROVIDES FUNDING TO STATE CRIME LABS FOR DNA BACKLOGS GENERALLY, WITH A FOCUS ON PRIORITIZING RAPE KITS. THE SHIELD ACT WOULD PROVIDE FEDERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT WITH THE TOOLS THEY NEED TO ADDRESS ONLINE ABUSE. THE BACKLOG PROGRESS ACT WOULD REQUIRE STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS THAT RECEIVE FEDERAL BYRNE JAG FUNDING TO REPORT WHETHER OR NOT THEY HAVE CONDUCTED A COMPREHENSIVE INVENTORY OF UNTESTED KITS AND IF RESULTS WERE UPLOADED INTO THE COMBINED DNA INDEX SYSTEM (CODIS). JOYFUL HEART PARTICIPATED IN TWO AMICUS CURIAE BRIEFS, WHICH ARE FILED BY ORGANIZATIONS WITH RELEVANT EXPERTISE TO ASSIST COURTS IN THEIR DECISIONS. THE FIRST BRIEF, SUPPORTED BY AEQUITAS, ADDRESSED A DOMESTIC VIOLENCE CASE IN OHIO. JOYFUL HEART HELPED SECURE LEGAL SUPPORT AND RALLIED NATIONAL AND OHIO ORGANIZATIONS FOR BACKING. THE SECOND BRIEF, SUBMITTED TO THE NY COURT OF APPEALS IN PEOPLE V. HARVEY WEINSTEIN, ARGUED FOR THE ADMISSIBILITY OF PRIOR BAD ACTS AS EVIDENCE, SUPPORTING WEINSTEIN'S CONVICTION. 1172178 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 10 0 1 6 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 22 22 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 CA NY X LESLIE HEWITT 2124752026 320 7TH AVENUE NO 161 BROOKLYN NY 11215 MARISKA HARGITAY FOUNDER & PRESIDENT 6.00 X X 0 0 0 BETH ARMSTRONG CHAIR 2.00 X X 0 0 0 KYM WORTHY VICE CHAIR 2.00 X X 0 0 0 CHAUNCEY PARKER SECRETARY 1.00 X X 0 0 0 ELIZABETH RICE GROSSMAN TREASURER 1.00 X X 0 0 0 JESSICA AMRBOSE BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 LAURAN BROMLEY BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 CYNTHIA ERIVO BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 KATHRYN GALLAGHER BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 PETER HERMANN BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 DANIELLE HERZLICH TO 12823 BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 MARK HERZLICH TO 12823 BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 ANDREA MCTAMANEY BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 AL MILES BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 DEBBIE MILLMAN BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 HEATHER MNUCHIN BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 PAMELA SCHEIN MURPHY BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 TOM NUNAN BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 SARABETH REESE BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 ROBIN RENZI BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 JENNIFER ROTHENBERG TO 323 BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 SOPHIA SCHRAGER BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 AMANDA STEPHENS BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 ALI WENTWORTH BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 POORNA JAGANNATHAN BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 LESLIE HEWITT CFO 40.00 X 194583 0 29157 ILSE KNECT DIRECTOR OF ADVOCACY 40.00 X 140086 0 29379 ROBYN MAZUR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.00 X 149447 0 4880 484116 0 63416 3 0 1 0 FOUNDATION TECHNOLOGY SERVICES 690 SOUTH HIGHWAY 89 JACKSON WY 83002 IT AND WEB CONSULTANT 162500 OLIVIA HALL 505 MADRONA WAY NE BAINBRIDGE ISLAND WA 98110 MEDIA AND WEB DEVELOPMENT CONSULTING 116500 2 151651 1671558 79391 1823209 CONTRACT INCOME 900099 447 447 447 170098 170098 80296 80162 134 134 134 35066 151651 35066 0 1993888 447 0 170232 X 378067 141590 179767 56710 357222 326869 15177 15176 10424 10424 71819 56054 10457 5308 62173 40412 16165 5596 33600 19200 14400 3260 3260 18057 18057 17025 17025 36900 36900 176268 154394 7430 14444 162500 121875 40625 13911 9042 3617 1252 34027 26444 1769 5814 74950 74950 10789 7013 2824 952 SUPPLIES, PRINTING, AND 197554 143510 22187 31857 OTHER EXPENSES 71543 20116 10662 40765 1730089 1172178 343137 214774 2752458 5095503 1998260 7275 559 16000 47 224850 124917 174883 99933 182803 229017 5124963 5431775 89281 100275 89281 100275 X 4985682 5267516 50000 63984 5035682 5331500 5124963 5431775 263799 32019 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 2816151 2122142 2164526 2534214 1823209 11460242 2816151 2122142 2164526 2534214 1823209 11460242 1451897 10008345 33147 26471 14680 8284 170098 252680 117429 48358 165787 11878709 4807 0.84250 0.82370 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 19474 0 1 11573 31047 0 PART II-B, LINE 1: IN CY2023 WE USED MAILCHIMP TO SEND 2 EBLASTS: MS HB485 AND HB995 CA AB1368 224850 124917 99933 99933 2190841 32019 164934 196953 1993888 0 1993888 1895023 164934 164934 1730089 0 1730089 X X X X X X X 1 INNOVATIVE PHILANTHROPY 200 CHAMBERS STREET NEW YORK NY 10007 PROFESSIONAL FUNDRAISING 0 0 48000 0 MP EVENTS 301 EAST 21ST STREET NEW YORK NY 10010 FUNRAISING COUNSEL 0 0 17500 0 65500 CA NY GALA 186717 151651 35066 35066 186717 151651 35066 35066 35066 0 SCHEDULE G, PART I, 2B, LIST OF TEN HIGHEST PAID FUNDRAISERS: (II) NAME OF FUNRAISER: MP EVENTS (II) ADDRESS OF FUNDRAISER: 301 EAST 21TH STREET, NY, NY 10010 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 LESLIE HEWITT CFO 161394 0 7329 0 25860 0 0 0 29157 0 223740 0 0 0 ILSE KNECT DIRECTOR OF ADVOCACY 108955 0 5271 0 25860 0 1300 0 28079 0 169465 0 0 0 ROBYN MAZUR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 145120 0 4327 0 0 0 0 0 4880 0 154327 0 0 0 X 4 79480 FMV X NECKLACES FOR MARATHON 7 1540 THIRD PARTY ESTIMATE 0 0 0 FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION A, LINE 2 MARISKA HARGITAY (PRESIDENT AND FOUNDER) IS MARRIED TO PETER HERMANN (BOARD MEMBER).
