CRC is dedicated to providing dispute resolution services for individuals for whom traditional legal services are too costly, too complex or not culturally appropriate. 0 0 761368 0 728158 The Conflict Resolution Center (CRC) provides affordable, accessible mediation, training, facilitation and restorative services throughout metro areas of Minneapolis, Duluth and St. Cloud. CRC services are restorative in nature, promoting relationship building, violence prevention, stress reduction and healing for individual, family, and community wellbeing. Areas of service include: neighborhood circles; healing circles; public forum dialogues; large group facilitations; community mediation; harassment and housing court-related mediations; one-on-one conflict coaching sessions; cooperative problem solving for housing stability services; housing resource navigation; in-school mediations, conflict coaching; conflict resolution education and restorative circles; diversion-related restorative youth conferencing; and out-of-school youth circles and mediation. Training offerings include 30-hour mediator training; 25-hour family bridge training, conflict coach training; continuing education webinars for mediators and attorneys throughout the year. CRC programs support people in finding satisfying solutions to difficult issues. Use of mediation reduces the reliance on the court system by resolving conflicts before they reach court. Mediation in initial hearings supports parties in avoiding further hearings by coming to an acceptable resolution. CRC programs support people in learning how to productively respond to future conflict. Our programs help youth and adults understand productive versus destructive conflict behaviors and provides them an opportunity to understand the impact of conflict in their lives and learn skills that can be used in a variety of settings. CRC restorative services deal directly with preventing violent reactions to conflict situations by helping individuals, families, and communities heal from past harms, repair relationships, learn productive conflict resolution skills, promote caring and connection in families, neighborhoods and communities with a strong emphasis on inclusivity, cultural responsiveness, community-led efforts, and equity and justice. In 2023, CRC conducted 329 mediations. Of these, 159 were court referrals (conciliation, housing, harassment and family). 170 were community mediations (neighbor disputes, housing, families, schools and government agencies). In addition, CRC conducted 598 dispute resolution sessions serving over 1700 individuals. These sessions included restorative and communication circles, conflict coaching, and cooperative problem solving. Also in 2023, over 150 individuals received conflict resolution and mediation training through 39 training events. Trainings included formal mediation and coaching training, continuing education for mediators and attorneys, and organizational trainings (corporate and government entities). CRC services are provided by 85 mediator volunteers, 10 full time staff and 3 part-time staff. 0 0 0 761368 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 37 0 1 21 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 10 10 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 MN X Alex Murphy 6128229883 2101 Hennepin Avenue South Ste 100 Minneapolis MN 55405 Laurie Whipple Co-Executive Director 40 0 X 72003 0 0 Janet Collins Co-Executive Director 40 0 X 72003 0 0 Alejandro Maldonado Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Alysha Price Board Member 1 0.00 X 0 0 0 Anthony Pledger Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 David Trevor Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Honorable Kathleen Gearin Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Kareem Braxton Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Michael Avery Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Sharon Goens-Bradley Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Edith Amporful Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Landon Ascheman Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Vincent Dionne Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Kabir Mohamed Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Audrey Neylon Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Kellie Rose Jones Co-Chair 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Sylvia MateKole Co-Chair 1 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Sandeep Nandi Treasurer 1 0 X X 0 0 0 144006 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 18405 0 0 117824 0 136229 Government Contracts 541900 655927 655927 0 0 Direct Program Services 541900 71849 71849 0 0 0 0 0 0 727776 372 0 0 372 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2100 18405 7667 -5567 0 -5567 204 0 204 204 0 0 178 178 0 0 178 859192 728158 0 -5195 144006 25627 93178 25201 492998 483011 7200 2787 1209 1209 39013 37636 1377 50872 40621 8016 2235 30186 30186 95684 69705 25979 23762 395 23367 2679 0 1689 990 26956 2000 24956 8398 7383 831 184 41335 30250 11085 11340 11340 Stipends 61514 61514 0 Training 1259 1259 0 0 Membership Dues and Subscriptions 6704 0 6704 0 4179 758 3421 1042094 761368 249329 31397 78684 95258 23380 23752 322828 167094 14766 2083 0 11653 11322 451311 299509 63995 95096 0 0 63995 95096 X 250094 137962 137222 66451 387316 204413 451311 299509 X -182902 0 0 0 0 -1 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 105042 178087 275591 264571 136229 959520 105042 178087 275591 264571 136229 959520 172800 786720 997 389 789 791 576 3542 46 1700 0 178 1924 964986 2697299 0.81527 0.82473 X Schedule A, Part II, Line 10 Other Income RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 0 X Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 The Organization's activities are generally exempt from federal and state income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Since the Organization is exempt from federal and state income tax liability, no provision is made for current or deferred income tax expense. The Organization is not a private foundation. Management has determined that the Organization is not subject to unrelated business income tax. Management is not aware of any transactions that would impact the Organization's tax-exempt status. The Organization follows the guidance of the Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) 740, Accounting for Income Taxes, related to uncertainties in income taxes, which prescribes a threshold of more likely than not for recognition and derecognition of positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For the year ended December 31, 2023, management of the Organization is not aware of any material uncertain tax positions. All tax-exempt entities are subject to review and audit by federal, state and other applicable agencies. Such agencies may review the taxability of unrelated business income, or the qualification of the tax-exempt entity under the Internal Revenue Code and applicable state statutes. For federal tax purposes, the tax returns remain open for possible examination for a period of three years after the respective filing deadlines of those returns. 40th Anniversary Celebration 20505 18405 2100 0 0 1757 4737 0 1173 0 0 20505 18405 2100 0 0 1757 4737 0 1173 7667 -5567 Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 6 The Organization has members.
