WE HELP NONPROFITS THAT PROVIDE DIRECT SERVICES TO, OR ADVOCATE FOR, UNDERREPRESENTED COMMUNITIES TO CREATE, EXPAND, AND SUSTAIN CIVIC ENGAGEMENT AND NONPARTISAN VOTER OUTREACH PROGRAMS. WE ALSO HELP OUR MEMBER ORGANIZATIONS BUILD THE ORGANIZATIONAL CAPACITY NEEDED TO SUPPORT GRASSROOTS ADVOCACY AND VOTER ENGAGEMENT INITIATIVES, IN ADDITION TO THEIR OTHER PROGRAMS. WE STRENGTHEN THE NONPROFIT COMMUNITY THROUGH COLLABORATION, LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT, AND PROFESSIONAL TRAINING AND RESOURCES.OUR NETWORK HAS DESIGNED THESE EFFORTS TO ENSURE LONG-TERM SUSTAINABLE IMPACT. THROUGH PROGRAMS SUCH AS ORGANIZER SCHOOL; CAPACITY, DATA, AND RESOURCES TO HELP OUR MEMBERS ENGAGE COMMUNITIES IN CIVIC ENGAGEMENT AND NONPARTISAN ELECTION EDUCATION; AND OUR POLICY TRAINING PROGRAM CALLED LOBBY SCHOOL. ORGANIZER SCHOOL IS A COMPREHENSIVE TRAINING PROGRAM THAT HIRES ORGANIZERS TO BE PLACED WITH A MEMBER ORGANIZATION TO GROW THE CULTURE OF CIVIC ENGAGEMENT. PARTICIPANTS BUILD KEY SKILLS IN DATA, COMMUNICATIONS, GOTV, AND ORGANIZING TACTICS. WE HAVE A STAFF MEMBER PLACED WITH TWO UNIQUE MEMBER ORGANIZATIONS TO INCREASE CAPACITY AND ENSURE SUSTAINABLE ORGANIZING PRESENCE IN COMMUNITIES THROUGHOUT GREATER NEBRASKA. PARTICIPANTS OF THIS PROGRAM SUPPORT ELECTION EDUCATION AND OUTREACH, SUPPORT THE MISSIONS OF THE ORGANIZATIONS PLACED WITH, AND ORGANIZER THEIR COMMUNITIES TO RESPOND TO LOCAL AND STATE POLICY ISSUES. THE PROGRAM ALSO AIMS TO DEVELOP AND GROW THE LEADERSHIP PIPELINE IN THESE GEOGRAPHIES. IN 2023, WE TRANSITIONED TWO ORIGINAL STAFF IN THESE ROLES WHO TOOK ON LARGER LEADERSHIP ROLES IN THE NETWORK, AND ONBOARDED AND TRAINED TWO NEW TEAM MEMBERS, EXPANDING THE LEADERSHIP PIPELINE FURTHER. IN 2023, WE HELPED OUR NETWORK ADVOCATE AROUND THE IMPLEMENTATION OF VOTER ID, WHICH DIRECTLY AND DISPROPORTIONATELY IMPACTS THE COMMUNITIES OUR NETWORK SERVES. THE END RESULT WAS ONE OF THE LEAST RESTRICTIVE VOTER ID LAWS IN THE COUNTRY BEING PASSED AT THE UNICAMERAL WITH BROAD COALITION PARTICIPATION. WE HELPED OUR COALITION DEVELOP EDUCATION AND OUTREACH MATERIALS IN MULTIPLE LANGUAGES. THESE WILL BE DISTRIBUTED IN 2024. WE ALSO SUPPORTED MEMBER ORGANIZATIONS PARTICIPATING IN THEIR LOCAL MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS IN 2023, CONVENING A COALITION AND ENSURING COMPLIANCE IN ACTIVITIES WHILE PROVIDING DATA AND COMMUNICATIONS SUPPORT.LOBBY SCHOOL TAKES A 360-APPROACH TO MOVEMENT BUILDING BY CONNECTING ELECTIONS AND GRASSROOTS EFFORTS TO POLICY WORK. IT IS DESIGNED TO EXPAND THE EXISTING ADVOCACY INFRASTRUCTURE AND BUILD POWER WITHIN NEBRASKA'S NON-PROFIT ADVOCACY ORGANIZATIONS. THROUGH THIS PROGRAM, WE ARE BUILDING THE BENCH OF POLICY EXPERTS THAT CAN ADVOCATE FOR A TRULY REPRESENTATIVE AND INCLUSIVE DEMOCRACY FOR ALL. PARTICIPANTS GAIN ESSENTIAL SKILLS TO PARTICIPATE IN LOBBYING EFFORTS TO FIGHT FOR COMMUNITY INTERESTS THAT ARE NOT OFTEN REPRESENTED BY THE TRADITIONAL ROSTER OF PROFESSIONAL LOBBYISTS INCLUDING THOSE OF RURAL AND BIPOC NEBRASKANS. TRAINING IS FACILITATED BY POLICY EXPERTS WHO SHARE LEARNING FROM YEARS OF HANDS-ON EXPERIENCE. THIS SHARING IS STRENGTHENED THROUGH MENTORSHIP PAIRS BASED ON ISSUE AREAS TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL SUPPORT IN STRATEGY DEVELOPMENT AND AS GUIDES THROUGH THE LEGISLATIVE PROCESS. IN ADDITION TO GUIDANCE FROM EXPERTS, PARTICIPANTS ENGAGE IN A COLLABORATIVE SPACE WHERE THEY CAN BUILD CONNECTIONS AMONG PEERS IN THEIR INDUSTRY. THIS COLLABORATION IS INTEGRAL TO THE STRENGTH AND SUCCESS OF THE LOBBY SCHOOL PROGRAM. IN 2023 WE GRADUATED 13 PARTICIPANTS AND STARTED RECRUITMENT AND TRAINING OF 13 NEW PARTICIPANTS STARTING IN THE FALL OF 2023. SEVERAL PIECES OF LEGISLATION WERE INTRODUCED AND PASSED WITH TECHNICAL SUPPORT OUR NEBRASKA TABLE EXPERTS. 1362569 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 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 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 7 0 1 31 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 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 X THE ORGANIZATION 4022027955 211 N 14TH ST STE 324 LINCOLN NE 68508 ROBIA QASIMYAR PRESIDENT 1.00 X X 0 0 0 KAREN BELL-DANCY TREASURER 1.00 X X 0 0 0 SAPPHIRE ANDERSEN DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 SHEREECE DENDY-SANDERS DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 RACHEL D FOX DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 CORRIE KIELTY DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 YOLANDA CHAVEZ NUNCIO DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 VALERIA ELISA RODRIGUEZ DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 NIC SWIERCEK DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 SHANNON GILROY DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 MEG MIKOLAJCZYK EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.00 X 114911 0 23624 114911 0 23624 1 0 0 0 0 18977 244045 3491031 3754053 PROGRAM REVENUE 900099 10119 10119 10119 4190 4190 3768362 10119 0 4190 177812 177812 138535 78272 53336 6927 1004315 759904 172214 72197 14573 8570 4177 1826 110316 64444 33456 12416 82472 59151 15715 7606 1422 215 1207 31987 5400 26587 174671 97368 77303 25845 14381 5771 5693 8171 1186 6422 563 12802 12802 21024 3357 17659 8 55572 37291 15933 2348 528 528 3714 3714 MEMBERSHIPS & SUBSCRIPT 35705 24897 10678 130 STAFF DEVELOPMENT 20530 9405 6982 4143 EVENTS 13735 6936 6753 46 MEALS AND ENTERTAINMENT 10941 5309 5351 281 3602 -4131 2606 5127 1948272 1362569 466392 119311 476492 699315 858833 2557058 3514 3851 3851 115 0 3572 3161 1339012 3263048 34022 137968 34022 137968 X 557311 163080 747679 2962000 1304990 3125080 1339012 3263048 1820090 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 890800 1688446 1912984 1379647 3754053 9625930 890800 1688446 1912984 1379647 3754053 9625930 9625930 67 69 50 176 4090 4452 9630382 0.99950 0.99990 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 18494 128183 146677 1801595 1948272 247414 61854 0 0 230369 187955 230243 247414 895981 1343972 2244 16764 56931 146677 222616 57592 46989 57561 61854 223996 335994 2244 16764 3519 18494 41021 3851 3851 0 0 X PART X, LINE 2: THE ORGANIZATION BELIEVES THAT IT HAS APPROPRIATE SUPPORT FOR ANY TAX POSITIONS TAKEN, AND AS SUCH, DOES NOT HAVE ANY UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS THAT ARE MATERIAL TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. 1 BLACK VOTES MATTER INSTITUTE OF COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT 2518 N 24ST ST OMAHA NE 68110 15000 0 COMMUNITY CONNECT GRANT HEARTLAND WORKERS CENTER 4923 S 24TH ST 301 OMAHA NE 68107 7500 0 GET OUT THE VOTE GRANT COMMON CAUSE PO BOX 94662 LINCOLN NE 685094662 7500 0 REDISTRICTING GRANT ASIAN COMMUNITY AND CULTURAL CENTER 144 N 44TH ST STE A LINCOLN NE 68503 5115 0 GET OUT THE VOTE & VOTING RIGHTS GRANT CENTRO HISPANO 3214 25TH ST COLUMBUS NE 68601 7500 0 GET OUT THE VOTE & VOTING RIGHTS GRANT ACLU NEBRASKA 134 S 13TH ST STE 1010 LINCOLN NE 68508 8000 0 COMMUNITY CONNECT GRANT RISE 3555 FARNAM ST STE 222 OMAHA NE 68131 6500 0 VOTING RIGHTS NEBRASKA APPLESEED 947 O ST SUITE 401 LINCOLN NE 68508 6500 0 GET THE VOTE OUT GRANT ELEVATE OMAHA 6001 DODGE ST OMAHA NE 68182 7500 0 GET THE VOTE OUT GRANT NEW FAMILY ALLIANCE 3610 DODGE ST SUITE 204 OMAHA NE 68131 7500 0 GET THE VOTE OUT GRANT SECOND HOUSE COLLABORATIVE 2440 CALVERT ST LINCOLN NE 68502 501(C)4 50000 0 PROMOTE SOCIAL WELFARE FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION A, LINE 6 THE ENTITY HAS MEMBER ORGANIZATIONS FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION A, LINE 7A MEMBER ORGANIZATIONS HAVE THE POWER TO NOMINATE BOARD MEMBERS AND VOTE ACCORDINGLY EACH YEAR.
