Taking on health in the Northwest suburbs in a holistic way, we are tackling vaccine access and education, memory loss in the African immigrant population, bicycling and body movement education, serving unhoused individuals, and much more. 308555 29100 143892 Housing Justice: With the ending of the State's Rental Assistance program, the housing landscape in Minnesota has become increasingly unstable. ACER's goal is to guarantee Just Housing for our community members through policy advocacy, community partnership, and resource distribution. ACER's approach to Housing Justice in 2022 focused on building up renter protection communities, successfully advocating for tenant protections at the city level, and convening several housing education events. 256071 4000 55438 Economic and Community Development: The work of ACER's ECD program is to support Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) small and micro-business owners that are the economic backbone of diverse communities in the Northwest suburbs. This goal has been achieved through policy advocacy at the state and local level, education and networking events with community members and business leaders, our continued free technical assistance for small businesses, as well as connecting business owners to training and mentorship programs. 48360 800 20100 Civic Engagement: With the critical 2022 election accompanying redistricting, it was essential for ACER to engage the community and assist community members in registering and re-registering to vote as well as finding their district. ACER especially focused on the apartment and rental communities which are frequently not the center of voter outreach initiatives. Throughout the year, ACER has focused on voter education and registration through partnerships with community organizations such as Ayada Leads, Common Cause, and others. We look forward to building up our Civic Engagement initiatives and continuing our work in the election off-year. 48360 800 20100 1369523 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 31 0 1 23 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 9 8 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 MN X Mabel J Nelima Sitati 7636577711 6800 78th Avenue North Suite 101 Brooklyn Park MN 55443 Nelima Sitati Munene Executive Director 0 0 X 74868 0 0 Alfredmy Chessor Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Collins Oppong Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Mfon Archibong Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Susan Mabera Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Annette Davis Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Aiysha Mustapha Board Chair 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Alfreda Daniels Board Secretary 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Latisha Barzey Board Treasurer 1 0 X X 0 0 0 74868 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 123426 917798 0 1041224 Government Contracts 624230 729357 729357 0 0 Program Service Fees 624230 2450 2450 0 0 0 0 0 0 731807 0 0 0 0 0 58 0 0 58 58 1773089 731807 0 58 X 35750 35750 4250 4250 74868 52407 14974 7487 697170 626445 57712 13013 29015 25346 2867 802 60127 54328 4165 1634 25470 25470 51415 51415 413315 396125 6780 10410 21985 21116 177 692 94746 91074 2648 1024 2753 2017 710 26 40263 32571 7460 232 18549 16976 1573 2985 1905 1080 1149 1149 7471 5950 1515 6 Dues and Subscriptions 6236 3263 2861 112 392 385 7 1587909 1369523 182941 35445 503471 1058336 500021 500071 242565 68015 125000 56619 395 431 4980 3288 2841 1692 1699 4758 1375992 1689922 80577 104274 15000 10438 95577 114712 X 881165 1290870 399250 284340 1280415 1575210 1375992 1689922 185180 0 0 0 109615 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 197720 218883 1233772 1032395 1041224 3723994 372031 864742 731807 1968580 197720 218883 1605803 1897137 1773031 5692574 0 0 303400 731044 665186 1699630 0 0 303400 731044 665186 1699630 3992944 4925 188 70 58 5241 197720 223808 1605991 1897207 1773089 5697815 0.70079 0.74954 0 0 X Schedule A, Part III, Line 1 2021 numbers corrected to reflect prior period adjustment.

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 years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, 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. 1 African Women and Youth Resource Center 3300 Bass Lake Road Suite 500J Brooklyn Center MN 55429 474288002 501(c)(3) 27600 0 Rent assistance 1 0 Schedule I, Part I, Line 2 No monitoring is performed.
