MESSAGING RESEARCH AND CANDIDATE EDUCATION: LAST YEAR, THE NILC IMMIGRANT JUSTICE FUND (IJF) INITIATED ANOTHER PHASE OF ITS QUALITATIVE RESEARCH INTO THE MINDSETS OF PERSUADABLE VOTERS. THIS INCLUDED CONDUCTING FOCUS GROUPS TO UNDERSTAND WHAT MESSAGES MOVE VOTERS IN KEY BATTLEGROUND STATES, AND DEVELOPING AND PUBLICIZING A POLL IN ADVANCE OF THE 2022 STATE OF THE UNION PRESIDENTIAL ADDRESS TO MEASURE SUPPORT FOR A RANGE OF PRO-IMMIGRANT POLICIES AMONG LIKELY VOTERS IN THE 2022 MIDTERM ELECTIONS. WHEN THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION ANNOUNCED IT WOULD END THE TRUMP-ERA USE OF TITLE 42 TO HALT THE ASYLUM PROCESS AT THE SOUTHERN BORDER, THE IJF POLLED LIKELY MIDTERM VOTERS IN SIX STATES CRITICAL TO THE PENDING LEGISLATIVE FIGHT AND RELEVANT TO THE MID-TERM ELECTIONS, TESTING PUBLIC SUPPORT FOR THE ADMINISTRATION'S DECISION AND A VARIETY OF PERSUASION MESSAGES TO DETERMINE THE MOST EFFECTIVE TALKING POINTS TO HELP POLICYMAKER CHAMPIONS COUNTER THE OPPOSITION'S IMMIGRATION-RELATED FEAR-MONGERING. THE IJF ALSO SHARED THESE FINDINGS WITH A BROADER GROUP OF MOVEMENT PARTNERS TO HELP FACILITATE A UNIFIED, STRATEGIC COMMUNICATIONS APPROACH ON THESE ISSUES. FINALLY, THE IJF WORKED THROUGHOUT THE YEAR TO EDUCATE CANDIDATES, THEIR CAMPAIGN STAFF, AND OTHER STAKEHOLDERS ON ITS ADVOCACY PRIORITIES SO THAT THEY HAD THE INFORMATION AND TOOLS THEY NEED TO BOLDLY CHAMPION IMMIGRANT INCLUSION AS PART OF THEIR POLICY PLATFORMS. APART FROM MESSAGING RESEARCH AND CANDIDATE EDUCATION, THE IJF FOCUSED ITS ATTENTION LAST YEAR ON OUTLINING LEGISLATIVE ADVOCACY PRIORITIES TO MOVE FORWARD DURING THE TRANSITION TO THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION. THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, IJF COORDINATED WITH ALLIES TO ADVOCATE FOR FEDERAL IMMIGRATION REFORMS THAT WOULD PROVIDE EXPANSIVE PATHWAYS TO CITIZENSHIP FOR THE ESTIMATED 11 MILLION UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS IN THE U.S., PUSHING FOR IMPROVEMENTS TO PROPOSED BILLS TO REMOVE HARMFUL CRIMINALIZING PROVISIONS AND BARRIERS TO IMMIGRANTS' ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE AND THE SAFETY NET, EXECUTING TARGETED DIGITAL ADVOCACY EFFORTS, AND RAISING THE VISIBILITY OF IMPORTANT LEGISLATIVE ADVOCACY EFFORTS. 1261489 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 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 1 0 0 1 14 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 X 7 7 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 0 CA X X X ORGANIZATION 2022160261 PO BOX 34573 WASHINGTON DC 20043 SARA GOULD DIRECTOR 0.00 4.00 X 0 0 0 ALLEN ERENBAUM CHAIR 2.00 X X 0 0 0 CYNTHIA J LANGE TREASURER 1.00 X X 0 0 0 GINETTE MAGANA DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 JOHN BISOGNANO DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 ROCIO SAENZ DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 YASMIN RADJY DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 MARIELENA HINCAPIE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 7.95 45.05 X 0 283971 23494 JENNIFER REJESKE DIRECTOR & POLICY & ADVOCACY 1.00 44.00 X 0 161877 30673 ADNAN BOKHARI CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER 2.10 39.90 X 0 266340 30184 VICTORIA BALLESTEROS CHIEF COMMUNICATIONS OFFICER 1.00 49.00 X 0 205227 21310 JILL CORRAL DIRECTOR OF FINANCE & ADMINISTRATION 2.40 45.60 X 0 195155 19660 LISA GRAYBILL LEGAL DIRECTOR 1.00 47.00 X 0 193097 20474 0 1305667 145795 0 0 1 1 SUPERNOVA STRATEGIES 270 MAGNOLIA RD CLINTON MS 390562215 STRATEGIC CONSULTING 181500 1 750000 535462 1285462 MISCELLANEOUS 523000 1 1 1 1285463 1 0 0 X 28523 25217 356 2950 328017 289992 4094 33931 14836 13110 188 1538 43833 38734 556 4543 25063 22008 387 2668 408106 374428 24945 8733 14176 11260 1596 1320 500 500 2714 2155 306 253 MARKETING 477780 477780 INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY 22609 6312 895 15402 BANK FEES 2317 493 618 1206 MEETINGS & RETREATS 1832 1832 1370306 1261489 36273 72544 1137840 1409400 3975 2475 1141815 1411875 22111 15770 150969 512213 173080 527983 X 202686 306856 766049 577036 968735 883892 1141815 1411875 -84843 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED PART I-A, LINE 1: LEADING A GROUNDBREAKING PROJECT DURING THE 2020 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS CYCLE, WHICH INVOLVED CONDUCTING PRO-IMMIGRANT MESSAGING RESEARCH FOCUSED ON PERSUADABLE VOTERS, DISSEMINATING RESEARCH FINDINGS WITH PARTNERS LEADING VOTER MOBILIZATION EFFORTS, AND USING TESTED MESSAGES TO COMMUNICATE WITH PERSUADABLE VOTERS IN KEY BATTLEGROUND STATES THROUGH DIGITAL PLATFORMS AND A TARGETED-TEXT-BANKING INITIATIVE. 0 DUE TO RELATED PARTIES 508963 UNCLAIMED PROPERTY 3250 512213 X 1285463 0 1285463 0 1285463 1370306 0 1370306 0 1370306 PART X, LINE 2: IN ACCORDANCE WITH FASB ASC TOPIC NO. 740, "INCOME TAXES," THE ORGANIZATION RECOGNIZED THE IMPACT OF TAX POSITIONS IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS IF THOSE POSITIONS WILL MORE LIKELY THAN NOT BE SUSTAINED ON AUDIT, BASED ON THE TECHNICAL MERITS OF THE POSITION.
