ACLC served more than 500 clients in the current year. 0 0 565453 0 0 Miners' Health and Safety: We provided free legal services to hundreds of black lung victims and widows in federal black lung benefits cases and related litigation. We advocated for strengthened federal regulations reducing exposure to coal and silica dust. We acted as a resource to communities affected by black lung disease as well as to the professional communities that support them by providing information and guidance regarding changes to black lung law, policies and medical research. ACLC also represented miners that were discriminated against for making safety complaints. 336865 0 0 Environmental Justice: ACLC continued to provide free legal services to families and communities whose land and environment is directly impacted by coal mining and other destructive environmental practices in our region. ACLC continued to represent one community in its efforts to address failures in its public water system and advocate on behalf of that community and others in the region dealing with similar problems in state and national forums. 300772 0 0 Policy and Advocacy: ACLC seeks to promote a just transition in Central Appalachia as the coal economy declines, investments are made in new economic and energy futures, and as the region recovers from the July 2022 flood disaster. In 2024, we engaged in educational activities, community group capacity building, policy analysis, and advocacy in pursuit of this goal. We engaged particularly with policy issues concerning black lung benefits, coal mine reclamation, utility affordability, and disaster recovery. 0 0 0 1203090 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 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 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 7 0 1 15 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 5 5 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 KY X James W Addington 6066333929 317 Main Street Whitesburg KY 41858 James W Addington Executive Director & Secretary 40 0 X X X 105791 0 0 Mimi Pickering President 0.5 0 X X 0 0 0 John Rosenberg Director 0.5 0 X 0 0 0 Jerry Hardt Treasurer 0.5 0 X X 0 0 0 Beverly May Director 0.5 0 X 0 0 0 Jill Fraley Director 0.5 0 X 0 0 0 105791 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 407082 0 407082 Attorney Fees Awarded 541100 236070 236070 0 0 0 0 0 0 236070 6035 0 0 6035 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 649187 236070 0 6035 105791 89922 15869 0 754231 641096 113135 0 121916 103629 18287 0 225719 191861 33858 0 58643 49847 8796 0 20000 17000 3000 0 200 200 0 0 21135 17965 3170 0 22099 18784 3315 0 22826 19402 3424 0 22053 18745 3308 0 4925 4925 0 0 10019 8516 1503 0 Medical Evidence 16758 16758 0 0 Dues and Subscriptions 4918 4180 738 0 Court Fees 260 260 0 0 1411493 1203090 208403 0 203750 181290 320420 88167 88720 232253 2275160 1800477 2567630 2214020 27117 107957 27117 107957 X 2540513 2106063 0 0 2540513 2106063 2567630 2214020 -762306 0 0 0 327856 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 628633 861781 1000185 945235 407082 3842916 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 628633 861781 1000185 945235 407082 3842916 0 3842916 562 69818 67030 9394 6035 152839 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 236070 236070 4231825 0.90810 0.94899 X Schedule A, Part II, Line 10 Attorney Fees Awarded $236,070 RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 11426 18357 29783 0 29783 5957 1489 9937 23826 0 4494 4754 6383 5957 21588 32382 22472 23770 31913 29783 107938 1124 1189 1596 1489 5398 8097 3134 9977 7333 11426 31870 0 0 0 0 289863 57610 232253 0 0 0 0 0 30557 30557 0 0 0 0 0 232253 649187 0 0 0 0 0 649187 0 0 0 649187 1411493 0 0 0 0 0 1411493 0 0 0 1411493 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b The 990 is emailed to all Board Members for review and comment prior to filing with the Internal Revenue Service. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c Compliance with policy, such as conflict of interest, is dependent on the individual attorney and board members. Professional conflicts are discussed. All are aware that divided loyalties are expressly prohibited. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15 Executive compensation is considered by the Board of Directors at Organization's fall meeting. The Director and Assistant Director compile a budget, which includes compensation levels for each individual employee for the next year. Board approval of the budget is required. At this time, executive compensation is not compared to other non-profit organizations and operations. Management is not aware of any other private or non-profit public interest law offices similar to Organization in Kentucky. When the Organization was founded, attorney salaries were roughly equivalent to what a somewhat comparable Kentucky organization, Appalachian Research and Defense Fund, paid its attorneys. Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19 Form 990 is available upon request. Governing documents and policies are maintained at Organization's office and are available upon request.
