We organize advocacy campaigns to advance or oppose legislation on a broad scope of finance and financial markets related issues, from high cost lending abuses, to investor protections, to capital markets, to private funds and more with the goals of making lending and financial markets safer and fairer for the public, and better supporting a more equitable, stable, and sustainable economy. Building and Mobilizing a Robust Coalition to Support Financial Reform and Regulation: We bring together a nonpartisan nonprofit coalition including civil rights, consumer, labor, investor, small business, and civic and community-based organizations. We build connections among disparate groups; put together and nurture an infrastructure to develop and share information, insights, tools, tactics, and strategies; and provide strategic analysis, materials, research and other tools so that together we can develop and advance economic and racial justice priorities to reform the financial system. Policy Analysis and Development: We analyze legislation and policy proposals in the financial space including in the areas of consumer financial protection, investor protection, financial stability / systemic risk, non-bank financial actors, student lending, taxes, and other policies as they affect Wall Street, from a public interest perspective. We explain and support or oppose proposals, present testimony, and report on how members of Congress vote on issues connected to the regulation and design of the financial system. We work with our allies to develop and promote legislative solutions to stop financial sector abuses of economically vulnerable families and communities and reverse growing inequality that results from unchecked financialization and speculation 3986877 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false true true true false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 20 0 true 42 true false false false false false false false false false false false false X 9 8 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true false false X The Organization 2024661885 11 DupOnt Circle NW Ste 500 Washington DC 20036 Lisa Donner Executive Director 27.37 0.00 X X 162102 0 23512 Ericka Taylor Popular Education Mgr Take on Wall 40.00 0.00 X 147138 0 21706 Gynnie Robnett Chief Operating Officer 40.00 0.00 X 125548 0 37909 Porter McConnell Senior Director 40.00 0.00 X 125863 0 35106 Aditi Sen Research Director 40.00 0.00 X 122998 0 18081 Alexander Martin Policy Director 40.00 0.00 X 110014 0 17127 Carter Dougherty Communications Director 40.00 0.00 X 107208 0 7286 Darrick Hamilton Director 1.25 0.00 X 0 0 0 Saqib Bhatti Director 1.25 0.00 X 0 0 0 Rebecca Dixon Director 1.25 0.00 X 0 0 0 Steven Renderos Director 1.25 0.00 X 0 0 0 Kimberly Longey Director 1.25 0.00 X 0 0 0 Graham Steele Director 1.25 0.00 X 0 0 0 Mehrsa Baradaran Director 1.25 0.00 X 0 0 0 Anna Lefer Kuhn Treasurer 1.25 0.00 X X 0 0 0 900871 0 160727 7 false true false 3967643 3967643 127236 127236 0 Other 900099 123269 123269 123269 4218148 123269 0 127236 X 399450 399450 287650 228642 45979 13029 2546913 2024439 407110 115364 668522 531381 106860 30281 99217 78864 15859 4494 6283 4813 1401 69 59852 45847 13342 663 414403 367148 45018 2237 56607 45442 8696 2469 46197 35465 7078 3654 145367 115583 23207 6577 40079 39783 335 -39 12684 12396 286 2 11378 9044 1819 515 Staff Development 71651 48580 20991 2080 Miscellaneous 30 30 4866283 3986877 697981 181425 2298978 2821078 1103265 482809 824821 91979 99507 123313 123313 3488536 3531704 112185 284527 7919764 7219625 436292 402756 342000 135854 543454 914146 946210 X 3652739 2948274 3352879 3325141 7005618 6273415 7919764 7219625 -648135 -84068 0 X false true X true false X 2284905 3981782 3296111 5393931 3967643 18924372 2284905 3981782 3296111 5393931 3967643 18924372 7195613 11728759 4710 535 68103 105763 127236 306347 62879 75207 123269 261355 19492074 0.60170 0.55330 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 79032 79032 44281 44281 Lease Liability 280927 Due to Related Party 262527 543454 X 4134080 -84068 -84068 4218148 4218148 4866283 4866283 4866283 Part X, Line 2-Text in footnote regarding FIN 48 (ASC 740) The accounting standard on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under that guidance, AFREF may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. Examples of tax positions include the tax-exempt status of AFREF and various positions related to the potential sources of unrelated business taxable income (UBIT). The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. There were no unrecognized tax benefits identified or recorded as liabilities for at year end.AFREFs policy is to recognize interest and penalties, if any, on tax positions related to its unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense in the financial statements. No interest and penalties were assessed or recorded during the year. true GA Watch 55 Marietta St NW 903 Atlanta GA 30303 161639971 501c3 35000 Americans for Financial Reform 1615 L Street NW Washington Washington DC 20036 822543434 501c4 300000 Citizen Action Illinois 2229 S Halsted St Chicago IL 606073103 364163480 501c3 10000 Texas Appleseed 1609 Shoal Creek Austin TX 78701 742804268 501c3 40000 New Jersey Citizen Action Education 75 Raritan Ave 200 Highland Park NJ 08904 222493628 501c3 20000 Woodstock Institute 67 East Madison Street Chicago IL 60603 362907408 501c3 20000 Maine Peoples Alliance 565 Congress St 200 Portland ME 04101 010383493 501c4 20000 New Economy Project 121 W 27th Street 804 New York NY 10001 133842270 501c3 25000 6 2 X X X X false false false false false false false false false Lisa Donner Executive Director 162102 7920 15592 185614 Ericka Taylor Popular Education Mgr Take on Wall 147138 7328 14378 168844 Gynnie Robnett Chief Operating Officer 125548 7335 30574 163457 Porter McConnell Senior Director 125863 6117 28989 160969 Form 990 governing body review Part VI line 11 Once the form 990 is prepared, it is reviewed by senior staff.
