WE STRIVE EVERY DAY TO PROVIDE THE HIGHEST QUALITY LEGAL SERVICES POSSIBLE TO LOW-INCOME GRANITE STATERS. OUR GOAL IS TO CLOSE IF NOT ELIMINATE THE PERVASIVE ACCESS TO JUSTICE GAP THAT EXISTS IN EVERY COMMUNITY THROUGHOUT THE STATE. WE HAVE THREE MAJOR SOURCES OF FUNDING, SUPPORTING THE THREE LEGS OF OUR ORGANIZATIONAL STOOL. FIRST, WITH FUNDING FROM THE LEGAL SERVICES CORPORATION, OUR INTAKE TEAM PERFORMS THE HERCULEAN TASK OF ASSESSING INCOMING CASES AND DETERMINING HOW TO BEST MEET THE APPLICANT'S LEGAL NEEDS. ELIGIBLE CLIENTS ARE EITHER REFERRED TO OUR PARTNER ORGANIZATION, NEW HAMPSHIRE LEGAL ASSISTANCE (NHLA) FOR DIRECT REPRESENTATION, TO ONE OF OUR IN-HOUSE ATTORNEYS OR PARALEGALS FOR ADVICE AND COUNSEL, OR TO OUR PRO BONO TEAM FOR PLACEMENT WITH A VOLUNTEER ATTORNEY. SECOND, 603LA RECEIVES FUNDING FROM VAWA AND VOCA GRANTS TO SUPPORT THE DOMESTIC VIOLENCE EMERGENCY PROJECT (DOVE) WHICH CONNECTS LOW-INCOME VICTIMS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE WITH PRO BONO ATTORNEYS AT THEIR FINAL PROTECTIVE ORDER HEARINGS. AND THIRD, THE IRS LOW-INCOME TAXPAYER CLINIC GRANT SUPPORTS OUR LOW-INCOME TAXPAYER PROJECT (LITP), ALLOWING LOW-INCOME GRANITE STATERS TO RECEIVE PRO BONO SERVICES FROM ATTORNEYS AND QUALIFIED TAX PROFESSIONALS IN CONTROVERSIES WITH THE IRS. TAKEN TOGETHER WE SERVED OVER 1400 CASES BENEFITING OVER 3400 PEOPLE. AN ADDITIONAL 2450 PEOPLE RECEIVED A REFERRAL TO ANOTHER SOURCE OF SERVICES. THIS WORK, TOGETHER WITH SIGNIFICANT OUTREACH TO AND EDUCATION OF LOW INCOME COMMUNITIES THROUGHOUT NEW HAMPSHIRE, REFLECTS THE INVALUABLE IMPACT OF 603 LEGAL AID'S MISSION. 1824409 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 6 0 1 31 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 15 15 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 NH X STEVEN B SCUDDER 6032243333 93 N STATE STREET SUITE 200 CONCORD NH 03301 X KILE ADUMENE DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 ALEXANDRIA COTE DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 NORA FIORE DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 MELINDA GEHRIS DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 BRITTANY HUNT DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 ELIZABETH LAHEY SECRETARY 2.00 X X 0 0 0 REBECCA NANN DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 KAITLIN O'NEIL DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 RORY PARNELL DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 EMILY RICE DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 CATHY SHANELARIS VICE CHAIR 2.00 X X 0 0 0 DEBORAH KANE REIN PRESIDENT 2.00 X X 0 0 0 BRIAN SHAUGHNESSY DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 LINDS JAKOW DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 PATRICIA WENTWORTH TREASURER 2.00 X X 0 0 0 SONYA BELLAFANT EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.00 X 105376 0 5644 105376 0 5644 1 0 0 0 WHITEBRIDGE LLC 95 NORTH STATE STREET SUITE 1 CONCORD NH 03301 RENT 105996 1 1752896 153061 1905957 645 645 CALL CENTER COST SHARI 900099 122203 122203 122203 2028805 122203 0 645 1375506 1241762 133744 194910 171250 23660 105632 97141 8491 20270 20270 103283 83819 19464 3008 2860 148 13383 9760 3623 2153 2153 7867 5672 2195 CONTRACT SERVICES 204704 151801 52903 COMMUNICATIONS 24449 21438 3011 LIBRARY MAINTENANCE 9014 7740 1274 DUES AND FEES 7444 5227 2217 4580 3516 1064 2076203 1824409 251794 0 440541 382001 302949 408942 0 12057 26533 23901 75025 68697 8482 6328 400 195694 778905 1028923 39138 80567 6000 75000 0 186987 45138 342554 X 358181 341371 375586 344998 733767 686369 778905 1028923 -47398 0 X 0 1 X 1 1 1 X 997787 988557 1225187 1897426 1905957 7014914 997787 988557 1225187 1897426 1905957 7014914 7014914 497 661 453 182 645 2438 7017352 0.99970 0.99970 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 8254 1926 6328 66771 66771 0 6328 RIGHT OF USE ASSET 186861 SECURITY DEPOSITS 8833 195694 LEASE LIABILITY 186987 186987 2366846 338041 338041 2028805 0 2028805 2414244 338041 338041 2076203 0 2076203 FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 11B THE 990 WAS REVIEWED IN DRAFT FORM BY THE FINANCE COMMITTEE, AND CIRCULATED TO THE FULL BOARD FOR ITS REVIEW BEFORE FILING.
