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. 156266 0 148993 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. 31253 0 57443 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. 0 0 0 1250125 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 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 37 0 1 17 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 10 10 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 40 0 X X 93186 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 Manka Nkimbeng Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Aiysha Mustapha Board Chair 1 0 X 0 0 0 Alfreda Daniels Board Secretary 1 0 X 0 0 0 Latisha Barzey Board Treasurer 1 0 X 0 0 0 93186 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 111763 635987 0 747750 Government Contracts 624230 730428 730428 0 0 Program Service Fees 624230 6507 6507 0 0 0 0 0 0 736935 0 0 0 0 0 38 38 0 0 38 1484723 736973 0 0 X 82770 82770 0 93186 77408 11742 4036 617576 554307 45462 17807 60197 56528 2867 802 54732 48933 4165 1634 26585 0 26585 0 63244 0 63244 0 328425 310040 9318 9067 9613 8744 177 692 48461 44789 2648 1024 7545 6809 710 26 43663 35971 7460 232 8845 7272 1573 0 2783 1703 1080 0 0 1149 0 1149 0 11717 10196 1515 6 Dues and Subscriptions 6091 3118 2861 112 1929 1537 385 7 1468511 1250125 182941 35445 1058336 825586 500071 150080 68015 576910 56619 431 1391 6872 4437 1692 2435 350000 4758 87836 1689922 1994238 104274 92022 10438 230298 114712 322320 X 1290870 1387014 284340 284904 1575210 1671918 1689922 1994238 16212 0 0 0 80496 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 218883 1233772 1032395 1041224 747750 4274024 372031 864742 731807 736935 2705515 218883 1605803 1897137 1773031 1484685 6979539 0 303400 731044 665186 143047 1842677 0 303400 731044 665186 143047 1842677 5136862 4925 188 70 58 38 5279 223808 1605991 1897207 1773089 1484723 6984818 0.73543 0.70079 0 0 X Schedule A, Part III, Line 12 Interest Income.

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, 2023 and 2022, 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.
