NACC trained over 5,000 attorneys and judges in 2021 through an online 7-week training course and five custom state trainings developed and delivered by national experts in the field. NACC also certified 43 new attorneys as Child Welfare Law Specialists and distributed over 675 Child Welfare Law and Practice books. In 2021, NACC launched a Race Equity Hub on our website. BUILDING COMMUNITY. NACC builds communities of practice among child welfare legal professionals through our membership program, national conference, and online convenings. NACC convened over 500 practitioners in Denver and 800 online for our 44th National Child Welfare Law Conference. NACC's State Coordinator program expanded to 32 states/jurisdictions. NACC also convened and partnered with NACC's National Advisory Council on Children's Legal Representation, a group of young professionals with lived experience in the child welfare system that advises the NACC staff and board. ADVANCING JUSTICE. NACC provides a leading national voice on children's legal advocacy. In 2021, NACC joined important legal briefs as amicus counsel and published landmark Recommendations for the Legal Representation of Children and Youth in Neglect, Abuse, and Dependency Proceedings. Also in 2021, NACC launched the Counsel for Kids campaign, website (https://counselforkids.org/), and advocacy toolkit. Children in court need lawyers of their own. We are working to make sure they have them. 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 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 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 21 21 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 0 X The Organization 7204209785 899 North Logan Street 208 Denver CO 80203 Leslie Heimov JD CWLS President 2.00 X X 0 0 0 LaShanda Adams JD Vice President 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Dawne Mitchell JD Treasurer 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Janet Bledsoe JD CWLS LLM Secretary 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Candi Mayes JD MJM CWLS Former President 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Akin Abioye EdD Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Kathryn Banks JD LLM Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Currey Cook JD Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Sheri Freemont JD Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Gerard Glynn JD MS LLM Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Amy Harfeld JD Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Yali Lincroft MBA Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Robert Schwartz JD Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 David Smith JD Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Sonia Velazquez Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Stephanie Villafuerte JD Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Mickey Aberman JD MBA Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Hon Karen Braxton JD CWLS Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 John Stuemky MD Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Joseph Gunn III MD Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Kendra Van de Water LSW Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Dan Wilde JD Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Kim Dvorchak JD Executive Director 40.00 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 7374 61810 520442 433182 85733 41801 0 174992 28348 8317 40560 39602 2387 958 322036 296938 0 84109 8000 0 974320 1102107 83075 135119 65848 118726 0 32824 148923 286669 X 578504 550133 246893 265305 825397 815438 974320 1102107 0 0 X X 0 0 0 X 244074 354286 587432 792164 1977956 444141 568879 872972 835449 2721441 688215 923165 1460404 1627613 4699397 28900 27550 21550 16243 94243 114145 187850 396207 450676 1148878 143045 215400 417757 466919 1243121 3456276 6964 6243 4265 5791 23263 6964 6243 4265 5791 23263 695179 929408 1464669 1633404 4722660 0.73180 0.74020 0.00490 0.00550 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 1 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 Part II-B, Line 1: NACC engaged in lobbying activity to influence a legislative body.

The earnings from the endowment may be used by the NACC to fund the ongoing mission of the organization in providing societal justice for children. NACC retains in perpetuity the original value of unreleased gifts donated to the endowment. Endowment funds decrease upon release of restrictions on gifts by the donor. The restriction placed on the original gift and its accumulated investment earnings from the Lea for Justice Endowment fund was released by the donor in tax year 2018, resulting in a substantial reduction of endowment funds. These endowment funds have remained unspent and are classified as board-restricted net assets. The accumulated investment earnings have also remained intact. Part X, Line 2: National Association of Counsel for Children is exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and is classified as other than a private corporation. NACC follows FASB ASC 740 Income Taxes, which requires entities to determine whether a tax position is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority. NACC has evaluated tax positions taken related to its tax-exempt status, and none are considered to be uncertain. Therefore, no amounts have been recognized as of December 31, 2022.
